What repetitive stress injury is a factory worker at risk of?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Factory workers are at risk of developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to repetitive hand movements involved in their work. This condition occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. Plantar fasciitis (choice A) is a condition affecting the foot, not typically associated with factory work. Osteomalacia (choice B) is a softening of the bones due to a lack of vitamin D or calcium, not directly related to repetitive stress in factory work. Osteoporosis (choice D) is a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones, usually associated with aging or hormonal changes rather than repetitive stress injuries.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Using warm packs can exacerbate inflammation in plantar fasciitis. Choices B, C, and D are all appropriate interventions for managing plantar fasciitis. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce pain and inflammation. Resting and stretching the feet can promote healing and reduce symptoms. Wearing supportive shoes can provide stability and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Therefore, the client's statement about using warm packs indicates a need for further teaching as it can worsen the condition.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Gonioscopy is the appropriate test to anticipate in this scenario. It is used to distinguish between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma by examining the angle where the iris meets the cornea. Choice A, ultrasonic imaging, is not typically used to differentiate between these types of glaucoma. Choice C, corneal staining, is used to detect corneal abrasions and defects, not to differentiate between types of glaucoma. Choice D, electroretinography, is a test that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina and is not specific to differentiating between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct response is to explain to the client what nearsightedness means, which is having difficulty seeing distant objects, as known as myopia. Choice A is not helpful as changing doctors is not necessary for this situation. Choice C is premature as wearing glasses is a possible solution but not the only one. Choice D is incorrect as nearsightedness (myopia) often requires glasses for correction.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Rest, ice, compress, and elevate the ankle. After an ankle injury, it is essential to follow the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for immediate treatment. Resting the injured ankle helps prevent further damage, applying ice reduces swelling and pain, compression with a bandage provides support and helps control swelling, and elevating the ankle above heart level reduces swelling by allowing fluid to drain away from the injury site. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because heating, incubating, or confining the ankle can worsen the injury by increasing swelling and inflammation instead of reducing them.
