Fundamentals of Nursing Skin Integrity and Wound Care Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5

Question 2 of 5
An African-American male is discussing his dietary intake with the nurse. The nurse encourages the client to keep sodium intake below 1,500 mg per day. The client reports he does not have any known risk for the development of hypertension and feels this is too restrictive. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After generations of conditioning, African-Americans frequently have higher sodium levels. The recommended sodium intake for African-Americans is slightly lower than for their Caucasian peers. Simply telling the client the recommendation is 'best' does not provide adequate information. The amount of salt ingested should be recorded, but this is not the best response.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The development of a blood clot is an increased risk in clients with an impaired circulatory system (e.g., varicose veins), obesity, and age over 40. Anticoagulant medications reduce clot risk.

Following myringotomy for acute otitis media, which topic would be appropriate for teaching about home management by the nurse?
