Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Preventing bone injury. In multiple myeloma, bone lesions are common due to bone destruction by abnormal plasma cells. Preventing bone injury is crucial to avoid fractures and bone pain. This can be achieved through careful handling, fall prevention, and avoiding activities that may increase the risk of bone damage. Monitoring respiratory status (A) is not the priority in multiple myeloma. Balancing rest and activity (B) is important but not as critical as preventing bone injury. Restricting fluid intake (C) is not typically necessary unless there are specific indications like renal issues.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The client’s breathing will become easier. Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis as it helps to reverse the severe respiratory symptoms. By administering epinephrine, it causes bronchodilation, which helps improve breathing by opening up the airways. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. B is incorrect because epinephrine typically causes an increase in blood pressure due to its vasoconstrictive effects. C is incorrect because angioedema is a potential side effect of anaphylaxis and would not be expected to increase after epinephrine administration. D is incorrect because epinephrine helps to improve alertness and consciousness by increasing blood flow to the brain.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, veins deep in the lower extremities, due to stasis and immobility in the legs causing blood to pool and predispose to thrombus formation. This is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Veins deep in the upper extremities (A) are less commonly affected. The popliteal vein of the leg (B) is a common site for DVT, but it is not the most commonly affected. Veins connected to the heart (D) are arteries, not veins, and are not typically involved in thrombophlebitis.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order of priority for nursing actions for a new laryngectomee is: ii.Set up a visit from a well-adjusted laryngectomee, iii.Maintain a patent airway, iv.Control postoperative pain, i.Assist with ambulation. Setting up a visit from a well-adjusted laryngectomee comes first to provide emotional support and guidance. Maintaining a patent airway is crucial for breathing. Controlling postoperative pain is important for comfort. Assisting with ambulation is necessary but can be done after ensuring the other priorities are addressed. Other choices are incorrect because they do not prioritize emotional support, airway maintenance, and pain control before assisting with ambulation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why answer A is correct: 1. Positive reinforcement helps enhance communication skills in individuals with expressive aphasia. 2. Providing positive feedback when Mr. Reyea uses words correctly encourages him to continue trying to communicate. 3. It boosts his confidence and motivation, leading to improved verbal communication over time. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: B. Waiting indefinitely for Mr. Reyea to verbally state his needs may lead to frustration and hinder effective communication. C. Suggesting permanent help at home assumes Mr. Reyea's condition cannot improve, which is not necessarily true for expressive aphasia. D. Helping the family accept Mr. Reyea's communication challenges does not actively support his communication improvement and may limit his progress.
