A college student goes to the college clinic and asks the best way to avoid contracting an STD. The nurse provides the clinic’s standard STD teaching. Which statement by the student indicates the need for additional instruction?

A. “There is no guarantee that I won’t contract an STD if I choose to be sexually active.” B. “Abstinence is the only sure way to avoid an STD.” C. “If I use a condom with spermicide, I will be safer than if I don’t use one.” D. “If I question my partner about past sexual encounters, I can avoid STDs.”

Correct Answer: D

Here's the rationale: 1. A: Correct - Acknowledges the reality that engaging in sexual activity carries risks, even with precautions. 2. B: Correct - Emphasizes that abstinence is the most effective way to prevent STD transmission. 3. C: Correct - Using a condom with spermicide can reduce the risk of STD transmission, although it's not foolproof. 4. D: Incorrect - Relying solely on partner questioning is not a comprehensive or foolproof method to prevent STDs. It overlooks the potential for misinformation or lack of disclosure from the partner.

Question 2 of 5

Mr. Kawasaki, a 23-year old industrial worker, was burned severely in an industrial accident. He has second degree burns on his right leg and arm, and on his left leg. He has third degree burns on his left arm. The triage nurse, using the rule of nines, estimates the extent of burn as:

A. 18% B. 45% C. 36% D. 54%

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The rule of nines is a method used to estimate the extent of burns on a patient's body. According to this rule, each major body part is assigned a percentage value that represents the total body surface area (TBSA). In this case, Mr. Kawasaki has second-degree burns on his right leg and arm (9% each) and left leg (9%) and third-degree burns on his left arm (9%). Adding these percentages together, we get a total of 36%, which corresponds to the extent of burn on Mr. Kawasaki's body. Choice A (18%) is incorrect because it only considers one arm and one leg, neglecting the other affected areas. Choice B (45%) is incorrect as it overestimates the extent of burns by including additional body parts not affected. Choice D (54%) is also incorrect as it includes more body parts than those actually burned. Therefore, the correct answer is C (36%) as it accurately reflects the distribution of burns based

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it offers the patient autonomy by providing a choice between brushing their teeth independently or having assistance. This empowers the patient to make decisions regarding their personal hygiene, promoting independence and self-esteem. Choice A does not offer a choice or empower the patient. Choice B focuses solely on the location of the toothbrush and does not address the patient's needs. Choice C does not provide the patient with a sense of control over their hygiene routine. By contrast, choice D acknowledges the patient's needs, offers a choice, and encourages independence.

A. 1, 2, 3, 4 B. 3, 4, 1, 2 C. 2, 3, 4, 1 D. 4, 1, 2, 3

Setting up a visit from a well-adjusted laryngectomee comes first to provide emotional support and guidance. Maintaining a patent airway is crucial for breathing. Controlling postoperative pain is important for comfort. Assisting with ambulation is necessary but can be done after ensuring the other priorities are addressed. Other choices are incorrect because they do not prioritize emotional support, airway maintenance, and pain control before assisting with ambulation.
