Question 1 of 5
The nurse in the outpatient clinic teaches the mother of a 10-year-old boy with asthma how to prevent future asthmatic attacks.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Raking leaves exposes the child to inhaled allergens like pollen and dust, which are primary asthma triggers. Playing the tuba, participating in activities, and walking are unlikely to trigger asthma unless exercise-induced, which is not indicated.
Question 2 of 5
A client who had a lumbar laminectomy has just returned to the nursing care unit following an uneventful stay in the postanesthesia care unit. How should the nurse position the client?
