or a client with newly diagnosed cancer, the nurse formulates a nursing diagnosis of Anxiety related to the threat of death secondary to cancer diagnosis. Which expected outcome would be appropriate for this client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The most appropriate expected outcome for a client experiencing anxiety related to a cancer diagnosis would be "Client uses any effective method to reduce tension." This outcome focuses on the client actively managing their anxiety by utilizing various strategies to decrease tension and promote feelings of calmness. It empowers the client to take control of their anxiety and seeks to foster a sense of well-being during a difficult time. The other options do not directly address the active management of anxiety as effectively as option C.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In a patient with diabetes insipidus (DI) who is on fluid restrictions, monitoring urine output is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the treatment regimen. DI is a condition characterized by excessive urination and thirst due to a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). By monitoring urine output, the nurse can determine if the restrictions are achieving the goal of decreasing urine volume and preventing dehydration. Changes in urine output can also indicate the need for adjustments in the treatment plan. Monitoring oral intake, appearance of mucous membranes, and pulse and temperature are important aspects of pediatric care but are not as directly related to managing fluid restrictions in a patient with DI.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) most likely results from heterogeneous risk factors, such as obesity, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, genetic predisposition, and other lifestyle factors. By addressing these risk factors through lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise, the development of Type 2 DM can often be prevented or delayed. On the other hand, Type 1 diabetes is primarily an autoimmune condition where the body mistakenly attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, and it is not preventable. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and is influenced by hormonal changes during pregnancy and other factors, making it less preventable through lifestyle changes alone. Thus, Type 2 diabetes is the type that is most preventable through lifestyle modifications.

Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When evaluating the effectiveness of nursing interventions for sinusitis discomfort, assessing the amount and color of sinus drainage is crucial. Changes in these aspects can provide valuable information about the progression of the sinusitis and the effectiveness of the interventions being implemented. Increased or purulent sinus drainage can indicate infection or inflammation, while clearer drainage may suggest improvement. Monitoring these parameters helps the nurse make informed decisions about continuing, modifying, or discontinuing interventions to manage the patient's sinusitis discomfort effectively. Evaluating WBC count, capillary refill, and comfort level are also important assessments in certain situations, but assessing the amount and color of sinus drainage is most directly related to sinusitis symptoms.
