Question 2 of 5
Which of the following would the nurse teach the patient is the most common site for ear infections?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The most common site for ear infections is the middle ear. This area is prone to infections, especially in children, due to the Eustachian tube being shorter and more horizontal compared to adults. The middle ear is connected to the upper respiratory tract, allowing bacteria or viruses to easily travel and cause infections in this area. Symptoms of a middle ear infection include ear pain, fluid buildup, and possible hearing loss. Treatment may involve antibiotics and pain relief medications, and in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to drain the fluid.
Question 3 of 5
A client becomes upset when the physician diagnoses diabetes mellitus as the cause of current signs and symptoms. The client tells the nurse, "This must be a mistake. No one in my family has ever had diabetes." Based on this statement, the nurse suspects the client is using which coping mechanism?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client's response of stating that diabetes cannot be possible because it is not prevalent in the family indicates that the client is using the coping mechanism of denial. Denial is a common defense mechanism where individuals refuse to accept reality or facts that are too uncomfortable for them to acknowledge. In this situation, the client is denying the diagnosis of diabetes as a way to cope with the distressing news, hoping that it may not be true because it has not affected their family members in the past. Recognizing this coping mechanism is important for the nurse to provide support and education to help the client come to terms with the diagnosis and start managing the condition effectively.
Question 4 of 5
A 27-year old adult is admitted for treatment of Crohn's disease. Which information is most significant when the nurse assesses nutritional health?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Anthropometric measurements, such as height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference, are essential in assessing the nutritional health of a patient with Crohn's disease. These measurements provide objective data about the patient's nutritional status, body composition, and risk for malnutrition. Monitoring changes in these measurements over time can help identify nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, or malnutrition in patients with Crohn's disease. Dry skin, bleeding gums, and facial rubor can be symptoms of other health conditions, but anthropometric measurements directly assess the nutritional health of the patient.
Question 5 of 5
Mr. Sison had an above the knee amputation (AKA). He is taught to use crutches while prosthesis is being adjusted. The nurse instruct the client to support her weight primarily on which areas?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When using crutches after an above the knee amputation, it is important for the client to support their weight primarily on their elbows. Placing the weight on the elbows helps to prevent pressure on the axilla (armpit area), which can lead to nerve damage and discomfort. Supporting weight on the elbows also provides better stability and control while using crutches, allowing the client to move more safely and comfortably. Additionally, distributing the weight onto the elbows helps to avoid potential strain and injury to the hands or upper arms.
