Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assigned to a client with polymyositis. Which expected outcome in the plan of care relates to a potential problem associated with polymyositis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Polymyositis is a condition that involves inflammation of the muscles, including the muscles involved in swallowing (dysphagia) and breathing. This can lead to a higher risk of aspiration, where food or fluids go into the airway instead of the esophagus. Therefore, monitoring for signs and symptoms of aspiration and ensuring the client exhibits no signs of aspiration are crucial in the care of a client with polymyositis. The other options are not directly related to the potential problems associated with polymyositis and are more general aspects of nursing care.

Question 5 of 5
A client is receiving chemotherapy for cancer. The nurse reviews the client's laboratory report and notes that he has thrombocytopenia. To which nursing diagnosis should the nurse give the highest priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a low platelet count, which can lead to impaired clot formation and increased risk of bleeding. With a low platelet count, there is an increased risk of internal bleeding and hemorrhage, which can affect vital organs such as the brain, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the priority nursing diagnosis for a client with thrombocytopenia receiving chemotherapy would be Ineffective tissue perfusion: Cerebral, cardiopulmonary, GI. Monitoring for signs of internal bleeding, such as changes in mental status, chest pain, and abdominal pain, is crucial to prevent potential life-threatening complications.
