Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In the scenario described, where the client has been experiencing repeated tonic-clonic seizures over an extended period, the priority is to administer a medication that can rapidly terminate the seizures. Diazepam is the medication of choice for status epilepticus due to its rapid onset of action within 10 minutes when administered intravenously. Lorazepam is also an option, but it is typically administered intravenously as well. Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker used for conditions like hypertension and angina, not for seizures. Clonazepam, although used for seizures, is not the ideal choice in this acute situation due to its slower onset of action compared to benzodiazepines like diazepam and lorazepam.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct intervention for a client who has a seizure disorder is to position the client on their side during a seizure. This helps to prevent aspiration and ensures a patent airway. Keeping a padded tongue depressor near the bedside (
Choice
A) is not recommended as it can cause injury during a seizure. Placing a pillow under the client's head during a seizure (

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nurse should encourage the client to attend a support group for individuals who have burn injuries. Support groups can provide emotional support, shared experiences, and coping strategies for accepting their altered appearance.
Choice A is not the best response as it does not offer proactive support.

Choice C is misleading as reconstructive surgery may improve appearance but may not completely restore the previous look.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Consume high-calorie foods.' Clients with COPD often have increased energy needs due to the work of breathing. Consuming high-calorie, high-protein foods can help provide the necessary energy and prevent weight loss.
Choice A is incorrect because eating three large meals daily may lead to increased shortness of breath due to a full stomach putting pressure on the diaphragm.
Choice C is incorrect because caffeinated drinks can contribute to dehydration, which is not ideal for clients with COPD.
Choice D is incorrect because drinking fluids during mealtime can cause bloating and early satiety, making it difficult for clients to consume enough calories.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Early menopause. A client who goes into early menopause, from natural or surgical causes, is at a greater risk for developing osteoporosis due to the rapid drop in estrogen levels.
Choice B, history of falls, is not a direct risk factor for osteoporosis but rather a risk for fractures related to osteoporosis.
Choice C, African American race, is actually associated with a lower risk of osteoporosis.
Choice D, obesity, is considered a protective factor against osteoporosis as excess weight can provide additional support to bones.
