Question 2 of 5
A client is diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder. When teaching the client and family about autoimmune disorders, the nurse should provide which information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Autoimmune disorders include connective tissue (collagen) disorders. Connective tissue disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and scleroderma, are a type of autoimmune disorder. In these conditions, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, including the connective tissues. Therefore, it is important for the client and family to understand that connective tissue disorders fall under the category of autoimmune disorders. This knowledge can help them better understand the nature of the disease and how it affects the body.

Question 4 of 5
A new mother wants to be discharged with her newborn as soon as possible. What should be done prior to discharge?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Prior to discharge from the hospital, it is important that a new mother makes an appointment for home care or a primary care practitioner office visit within the next 2 or 3 days for the newborn. This ensures that the newborn will receive necessary follow-up care, monitoring, and evaluation after leaving the hospital. It is crucial for the newborn's health and well-being to have timely postnatal check-ups to address any concerns or issues that may arise in the early days after birth. This follow-up care also allows healthcare providers to assess the newborn's growth, feeding, and overall health progression.
