Question 2 of 5

The client complains of a headache upon wakening and often falls asleep during the day when he sits for long periods. This client is exhibiting signs and symptoms characteristic of:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: sleep apnea. The client's symptoms of loud snoring, need to be shaken to stop snoring, morning headache, daytime sleepiness, and falling asleep during the day are all classic signs of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breathing during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and daytime symptoms. Narcolepsy (choice A) involves excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden muscle weakness, which are not mentioned here. Parasomnia (choice B) refers to abnormal behaviors during sleep, such as sleepwalking or night terrors, which are not described in the scenario. Primary hypersomnia (choice D) is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness without a clear cause, which is not consistent with the client's symptoms.
Question 3 of 5
A short-term goal for a patient with anorexia nervosa is 'Patient will select and eat a balanced diet.' The nurse writes which of the following nursing interventions into the care plan that will foster attainment of this goal?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assist the patient to fill out the dietary menus to ensure a balanced diet. This intervention is appropriate because it directly supports the goal of the patient selecting and eating a balanced diet. By assisting the patient in filling out dietary menus, the nurse can help the patient make informed choices about their food intake, ensuring they are consuming a variety of nutrients necessary for a balanced diet. This intervention promotes patient autonomy and education, empowering the patient to make healthier choices. Choice A is incorrect because allowing the patient to weigh themselves every time a meal is eaten does not directly address the goal of selecting and eating a balanced diet. Choice C is incorrect because encouraging compensatory exercise may lead to unhealthy behaviors and does not focus on achieving a balanced diet. Choice D is incorrect because implementing contracted consequences for incomplete meals may create a negative environment and does not promote a positive approach to achieving a balanced diet.
