Question 1 of 5

A patient has heard of several friends being diagnosed with colon cancer and does not want to develop the same health problem. What should the nurse recommend to this patient? Select all that apply.

A. Obtain regular exercise B. Maintain a healthy weight C. Ingest two servings of red wine every day D. Obtain recommended screening after age 50 e. Consume a diet high in fruit and vegetables and low in saturated fat and red meat

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of developing colon cancer. Exercise helps in maintaining a healthy weight, supporting the immune system, and promoting overall health.

Question 2 of 5

The community nurse is teaching a class at the community center regarding the cultural and ethnic risk factors for stroke. Which statement should nurse include in this presentation?

A. Caucasians have an increased incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage. B. African Americans have almost twice the number of first-ever strokes compared with Whites. C. Asian Americans are more likely to die following a stroke than Whites. D. The prevalence of hypertension among Hispanics is the highest in the world.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct statement that should be included in the presentation is that African Americans have almost twice the number of first-ever strokes compared with Whites. This is based on research and statistics that show African Americans have a higher incidence of stroke compared to other ethnic groups in the United States. It is important for healthcare providers to be aware of these disparities in order to address them effectively through targeted prevention and management strategies. Moreover, raising awareness about these risk factors can help promote early intervention and reduce the burden of stroke within the African American community.

Question 3 of 5

A client with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) has a nursing diagnosis of Impaired Gas Exchange. Which action is appropriate when providing care based on this nursing diagnosis?

A. Place the client in low-Fowler position to improve gas exchange B. Monitor the client's oxygen saturation intermittently C. Encourage frequent amulation D. Use continuous endotracheal suctioning instead of coughing and deep breathing

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Monitoring the client's oxygen saturation intermittently is the most appropriate action when providing care for a client with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) who has a nursing diagnosis of Impaired Gas Exchange. DIC can lead to a variety of complications, including inadequate oxygenation of tissues due to abnormal clotting and bleeding. By monitoring the client's oxygen saturation levels, the healthcare team can assess the effectiveness of gas exchange and adjust interventions as needed to optimize oxygenation. This action helps in early detection of worsening gas exchange and guides appropriate interventions to address any respiratory issues promptly. Placing the client in a low-Fowler position may not be suitable for all patients with DIC, encouraging frequent ambulation could be risky due to the increased bleeding tendency, and using continuous endotracheal suctioning is not recommended as it can lead to aggravation of respiratory issues and increase the risk of further complications.

Question 4 of 5

During the physical examination of a client who took a fall that fractured his hip, the nurse notices an impairment of the client's hearing, but that the client's visual acuity and motor function do not seem to be impaired. The client answers questions very precisely and readily grasps the meaning of everything the nurse says when the client can face the nurse. When teaching this client, the nurse should make it a priority to

A. make verbal instructions face to face with the client. B. provide only written instructions. C. use only visual media. D. use only physical demonstrations with written instructions.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The client in this scenario has an impairment of hearing, so it is essential to ensure effective communication by facing the client when providing verbal instructions. By facing the client, the nurse can help the client by making it easier to lip-read and pick up verbal cues, improving the client's ability to understand the instructions clearly. This approach demonstrates sensitivity to the client's needs and promotes better communication during teaching sessions. Providing written instructions alone (option B), using only visual media (option C), or relying solely on physical demonstrations with written instructions (option D) may not be as effective for this particular client with impaired hearing.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is teaching a group of community members about measures to reduce the risk of bladder cancer. What should the nurse include when providing these instructions? Select all that apply.

A. Empty the bladder every 2 hours B. Do not start smoking; if you smoke, stop C. Increase the intake of fluids and vegetables D. Avoid using hair dyes and pesticides in the home e. Limit the intake of coffee and other caffeinated beverages

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A. Empty the bladder every 2 hours: Regularly emptying the bladder helps reduce the exposure of the bladder to potentially harmful substances that can increase the risk of developing bladder cancer.
