Fundamentals of Nursing Skin Integrity Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is working in a primary care setting. Which clients should the nurse identify as being at high risk for influenza or its complications?Select the one that does not apply
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
An older adult client asks the nurse what can be done to decrease the risk of developing pneumonia. Which responses by the nurse are most appropriate? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: Option B is correct because smoking weakens the lungs and increases the risk of pneumonia. Eliminating this habit can decrease the risk. Option A is incorrect because there is limited evidence supporting the effectiveness of L. casei immunitas cultures in preventing pneumonia. Option C is incorrect because while the pneumonia vaccination is important, it is not the most appropriate response to directly address the client's inquiry about reducing the risk. Option D is incorrect because moderate alcohol consumption is not a significant risk factor for pneumonia.
Question 3 of 5
What is the primary rationale for maintaining adequate hydration in clients with pneumonia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because adequate hydration helps keep the airway clear by making secretions easier to expectorate. Proper hydration thins mucus secretions, making it easier for clients with pneumonia to cough up and clear their airways, reducing the risk of respiratory complications. Maintaining hydration does not primarily affect urine output (A), blood pressure (B), or mucus membrane moisture (C) in clients with pneumonia.
Question 4 of 5
One method of preventing sepsis in hospitalized clients is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: using aseptic techniques when inserting a catheter. This is because maintaining a sterile environment during catheter insertion helps prevent introducing harmful bacteria that can lead to sepsis. Aseptic techniques reduce the risk of infection. Choices B and C are incorrect because negative airflow rooms and airborne precautions are primarily used for airborne infections, not sepsis prevention. Choice D is incorrect as teaching proper tampon use does not directly relate to preventing sepsis in hospitalized clients.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI). The client is prescribed a 3-day course of oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ). Which client statement indicates that teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The client's statement indicates understanding of the importance of follow-up urine culture after completing antibiotic treatment for a UTI to ensure eradication of the infection. This shows compliance with medical advice and monitoring treatment efficacy. Choice B (Kegel exercises) is irrelevant to UTI treatment. Choice C (increasing fluid intake) is a general good practice but not specific to UTI treatment. Choice D (wearing cotton underwear) is not directly related to UTI treatment.
