The home health nurse asks a child's mother many questions as part of the assessment. The mother answers many questions, then stops and says, "I don't know why you ask me all this. Who gets to know this information?" The nurse should take which action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to take in this situation is to explain who will have access to the information. This can help build trust with the child's mother and alleviate any concerns she may have about the confidentiality of the information shared during the assessment. By explaining clearly who will have access to the information and how it will be used, the nurse can address the mother's concerns and ensure that she feels comfortable sharing necessary information for the child's care. This open communication is essential in building a supportive and trusting relationship between the nurse and the child's mother.
Question 3 of 5
A newly diagnosed patient asks what asthma is. Which of the ff. explanations by the nurse is correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Option A, "Your airways are inflamed and spastic," is the correct explanation of asthma. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, which causes difficulty in breathing, coughing, and wheezing. The inflammation leads to the airways becoming extremely sensitive to various triggers, such as allergens, irritants, or exercise, resulting in spasms that further constrict the air passages. This constriction makes it challenging for air to move in and out of the lungs efficiently, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath. It is essential for the patient to understand that asthma is primarily an inflammatory condition rather than a structural or infectious problem.
