Question 2 of 5
Which of the ff is the most important factor in the nursing management of a client with CFS?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Educating the client about the disease process and its limitations is the most important factor in the nursing management of a client with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Providing information about the disease, its symptoms, potential triggers, and the importance of self-care is crucial in empowering the client to manage their condition effectively. Understanding the limitations imposed by CFS can help the client make necessary adjustments in their lifestyle, activities, and energy management. Education also plays a key role in setting realistic expectations and preventing exacerbation of symptoms by avoiding overexertion or pushing beyond their limits. By understanding the disease process and its impact, the client can actively participate in their care and strive for better quality of life.
Question 3 of 5
Which laboratory test value is elevated in clients who smoke and can't be used as a general indicator of cancer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Alkaline phosphatase level is elevated in clients who smoke due to various reasons unrelated to cancer. Smoking leads to increased alkaline phosphatase production in the liver, and elevated levels can be attributed to liver damage caused by smoking. However, a high alkaline phosphatase level alone cannot be used as a general indicator of cancer because it is not specific to cancer and can be influenced by several other factors. Therefore, it is not a reliable marker for the presence of cancer in individuals who smoke or in the general population.

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assigned to a client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). When handling the client's blood and body fluids, the nurse uses standard precautions, which include:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Standard precautions are infection control practices designed to prevent transmission of diseases like AIDS. When handling a client's blood and body fluids, it is important to use standard precautions. Wearing gloves to empty a bedpan is an appropriate practice to prevent direct contact with blood and body fluids. This helps protect the nurse from exposure to infectious agents. Other options like wearing a gown, gloves, and protective eyewear for obtaining a urine specimen via catheterization or disposing of needles uncapped do not align with standard precautions for handling blood and body fluids in a client with AIDS. Similarly, wearing gloves when applying eyedrops is not necessary for preventing transmission of bloodborne pathogens in this context.
