Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing dietary instructions to a client with hypoglycemia. To control hypoglycemic episodes, the nurse should recommend:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Consuming a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet and avoiding fasting is the best recommendation to control hypoglycemic episodes in clients. When someone has hypoglycemia, their blood sugar levels drop too low. A diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in protein can help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent sudden drops that lead to hypoglycemic episodes. Additionally, avoiding fasting helps maintain a consistent intake of nutrients throughout the day, which is important for managing blood sugar levels. It is essential to eat regular, balanced meals and snacks to keep blood sugar levels stable and prevent hypoglycemia.
Question 2 of 5
As the nurse cares for a patient with angioedema, differs from urticaria in that angioedema is characterized by which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Angioedema differs from urticaria in that it involves deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissue compared to urticaria, which affects the upper layers of the skin. This deeper involvement in angioedema can lead to swelling that appears as large, raised areas that often have a deeper hue compared to the surrounding skin. Angioedema does not typically involve small, fluid-filled vesicles like urticaria, and it is not necessarily more pruritic. Additionally, angioedema tends to last longer than urticaria, which is why option D is not accurate.
Question 3 of 5
When caring for the child with Kawasaki disease, the nurse should know which information?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile illness that primarily affects children. The therapeutic management of Kawasaki disease includes the administration of gamma globulin and aspirin. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or gamma globulin is given as a single dose to reduce the risk of coronary artery abnormalities, while aspirin is used for its anti-inflammatory effects. It is important to note that aspirin should not be given to children with viral infections due to the risk of Reye syndrome. Therefore, option D is the correct choice in this case.
