Question 3 of 4
Which food is most important for the nurse to encourage a client with osteomalacia to include in a daily diet?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fortified milk and cereal are most important for a client with osteomalacia, a condition of softened bones due to vitamin D deficiency. These foods are rich in vitamin D and calcium, essential for bone mineralization and strength. Green leafy vegetables provide calcium but less vitamin D, red meat/eggs offer protein but minimal vitamin D, and citrus fruits supply vitamin C, not directly addressing osteomalacia's cause. Fortified products directly correct the deficiency, making them the priority dietary recommendation.
Question 4 of 4
To reduce the risk for pulmonary complication for a client with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), which interventions should the nurse implement? (SATA)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To reduce pulmonary complications in ALS, the nurse should encourage incentive spirometry (A), perform chest physiotherapy (C), and teach breathing exercises (E). ALS weakens respiratory muscles, increasing atelectasis and secretion retention risks. Spirometry improves lung expansion, physiotherapy clears mucus, and exercises strengthen breathing, all preventing pneumonia. Passive ROM (B) aids mobility, not lungs, and bladder routines (D) address urinary issues, making A, C, and E the key respiratory interventions.
