Question 3 of 4
The nurse has determined that a client with trigeminal neuralgia has the nursing problem, 'imbalanced nutrition, less than body requirements.' Which cause is most likely contributing to the problem?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pain when eating is the most likely cause of 'imbalanced nutrition, less than body requirements' in trigeminal neuralgia. This condition causes severe, electric-shock-like facial pain, often triggered by chewing or facial movement, leading to avoidance of eating and subsequent weight loss or malnutrition. Altered taste, fatigue, and nausea may contribute to appetite issues, but the hallmark of trigeminal neuralgia is excruciating pain with oral activity, directly impacting nutritional intake and making it the primary cause.
Question 4 of 4
The nurse is providing teaching to a client with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy. Which information should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should teach that family members can help with regular foot exams for a client with type 2 DM and peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy reduces sensation, increasing injury risk, and self-inspection is challenging. Family assistance ensures early detection of cuts or ulcers, preventing complications like infection or amputation. Barefoot walking risks injury, heating pads can burn insensate skin, and prolonged soaking dries skin, making foot exams the safest, most effective advice.
