A female client recovers from a serious case of insect bites. What skin related advice must the nurse give to the client and all her family members to prevent the recurrence of the ailment?
Correct Answer: B

Question 4 of 5
One of the complications of prolonged bed rest is decubitus ulcer. Which of the following can best prevent its occurrence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Turning the patient frequently every 2 hours helps relieve pressure on specific areas of the body, hence reducing the risk of developing decubitus ulcers. Prolonged pressure on the skin can lead to poor blood circulation and tissue damage, which can eventually progress into decubitus ulcers. By turning the patient regularly, the pressure is redistributed and different areas of the skin are relieved from constant stress. This simple measure is an effective way to prevent the occurrence of decubitus ulcers in patients on prolonged bed rest.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is an important preventive factor that the nurse should teach a client with rhinitis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Washing hands frequently is an important preventive factor that the nurse should teach a client with rhinitis. Rhinitis is characterized by inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the nose, leading to symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose. Rhinitis can be caused by viruses, bacteria, allergens, or irritants. By washing hands frequently, the client can reduce the risk of coming into contact with these pathogens and reduce the likelihood of exacerbating their symptoms or developing complications. Handwashing is a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of infections and maintain good overall health.
