Question 3 of 5
60 year-old Mrs. Torres arrived just in time for her doctor's appointment. She complains of pain and stiffness in her back. She is suspected of having osteoporosis. Nurse Ariane will inform Mrs. Torres that the primary complication of osteoporosis is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The primary complication of osteoporosis is fractures. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures. Fractures, especially in the spine, hip, and wrist, are common complications of osteoporosis and can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Patients with osteoporosis are at an increased risk of fractures from minor trauma or even during normal daily activities. Therefore, preventing fractures is a key focus in the management of osteoporosis to minimize pain, disability, and complications associated with bone fractures.
Question 4 of 5
Latasha, age 8 years, is being admitted to the hospital from the emergency department with an injury from falling off her bicycle. Which will help her most in her adjustment to the hospital?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Explaining hospital schedules to Latasha, such as mealtimes, will help her most in adjusting to the hospital environment. Providing her with a sense of routine and structure can help reduce her anxiety and uncertainty during her stay. By knowing when things like meals will happen, Latasha can feel more in control of her surroundings and what to expect, which can be comforting for a child in a new and potentially scary situation like being in the hospital.
Question 5 of 5
A client comes to the clinic complaining of weight loss, fatigue, and a low-grade fever. Physical examination reveals a slight enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes. To assess possible causes for the fever, it would be most appropriate for the nurse to initially ask: a."Have you bee sexually active lately?" b, "Do you have a sore throat at the present time?"
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When assessing a client with symptoms of weight loss, fatigue, low-grade fever, and lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes), it is important to investigate potential causes of infection. In this scenario, considering the client's symptoms and signs, asking if they have been exposed recently to anyone with an infection helps in determining the possibility of an infectious etiology for their symptoms. This question can provide valuable information to guide further assessment and diagnostic evaluation.
