Wash hair once each week. D. Clean skin with a comedogenic cleanser Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B

Adolescents may experience changes in body odor due to hormonal changes during puberty. Using deodorant daily can help them feel more confident and socially accepted.

A: Bathe every other day - Bathing every other day may not be sufficient, especially for adolescents who may sweat more due to hormonal changes. Daily bathing or showering is recommended.
C: Wash hair once each week - Washing hair once a week may not be adequate for most people, especially adolescents with active lifestyles. Washing hair 2-3 times a week is generally recommended.
D: Clean skin with a comedogenic cleanser - Using a comedogenic cleanser can clog pores and lead to acne breakouts. Non-comedogenic cleansers are preferred for maintaining healthy skin.

The nurse delegating retains responsibility for the task but can delegate the performance. This statement demonstrates the understanding that the delegator must ensure the task is carried out as intended.
Summary of other choices:
B. "There are 4 rights of delegation." This choice is incorrect as it does not demonstrate understanding of personal responsibility in delegation.
C. "The nurse manager is responsible for delegating nursing tasks during each shift." This choice is incorrect as it places the responsibility solely on the nurse manager, disregarding the nurse's role in delegation.
D. "It is the duty of the delegatee to perform a task without asking questions when it is delegated." This choice is incorrect as it overlooks the importance of clear communication and clarification in delegation.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse collecting data on a client who has vitamin A deficiency. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? A. Impaired vision B. Swollen tongue C. Constipation D. Bleeding gums Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, impaired vision. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to night blindness and eventually total blindness due to the role of vitamin A in maintaining healthy vision. Swollen tongue (
B), constipation (
C), and bleeding gums (
D) are not typically associated with vitamin A deficiency. Swollen tongue is more commonly linked to vitamin B12 deficiency, constipation is not a typical symptom of vitamin A deficiency, and bleeding gums may be a sign of vitamin C deficiency.
Therefore, impaired vision is the most relevant finding that the nurse should expect when assessing a client with vitamin A deficiency.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is actively listening to a client who has concerns about a new diagnosis. Which of the following categories of Swanson's Theory of Caring is the nurse demonstrating? A. Being with B. Knowing C. Enabling D. Doing for Which of the following categories of Swanson's Theory of Caring is the nurse demonstrating?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Knowing. In Swanson's Theory of Caring, "Knowing" involves seeking to understand the client's perspective, feelings, and needs. In this scenario, the nurse actively listening to the client with concerns about a new diagnosis demonstrates the Knowing aspect by trying to comprehend the client's emotions and thoughts. This helps build a therapeutic relationship and fosters trust. The other options are incorrect because: A. Being with focuses on being present and emotionally available, but it does not specifically address understanding the client's perspective. C. Enabling involves facilitating the client's abilities, which is not explicitly demonstrated in the scenario. D. Doing for refers to taking action on behalf of the client, which is not the primary focus when actively listening and understanding the client's concerns.
