Question 1 of 5
The nurse has completed instructions with a client with atrial fibrillation who will be taking warfarin sodium indefinitely. Which statement by the client indicates the need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Warfarin increases bleeding risk, and NSAIDs can exacerbate this, especially causing GI bleeding, so they should be avoided without provider approval. Using a soft toothbrush, avoiding alcohol, and carrying medication identification are correct to prevent bleeding and ensure safety.
Question 2 of 5
The community health nurse teaches a group of females how to prevent pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). What instruction should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: PID is an infection of the pelvis. The primary prevention of PID includes avoiding unprotected intercourse. Douching leads to a higher risk for PID. It is believed that high hormonal doses may decrease risk of PID, but ultra-low doses will not. The use of an IUD may also increase the risk for PID.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is providing home care dietary instructions to a client who has been hospitalized for pancreatitis. Which food should the nurse instruct the client to avoid to prevent recurrence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pancreatitis involves inflammation of the pancreas, and spicy foods like chili can stimulate pancreatic secretions, potentially triggering a recurrence. The client should eat small, frequent meals that are high in protein, low in fat, and moderate to high in carbohydrates. Bagels, lentil soup, and watermelon are generally bland and acceptable.
