Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The goal of clinical management in a client with venous stasis ulcers is to promote healing. This only can be accomplished with proper nutrition. The other interventions are appropriate, but without proper nutrition, they would be of little help.

Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: D

The client tells the nurse she is having trouble falling asleep. What initial nursing action is least appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Requesting sleeping medication is premature and least appropriate without exploring non-pharmacologic interventions like back rubs, addressing concerns, or repositioning, which promote sleep naturally.
