A nurse is preparing a community health program for adults at risk for cardiovascular disease. Which of the following should the nurse include as a modifiable risk factor?

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory test results from a client who has prerenal acute kidney injury (AKI). Which of the following electrolyte imbalances should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hyperkalemia is expected in prerenal AKI because impaired kidney function reduces potassium excretion, leading to elevated blood levels. This can cause dangerous cardiac arrhythmias, requiring prompt management. Hypophosphatemia, hypercalcemia, and hypernatremia are not typical, as AKI primarily affects potassium and may lead to hyponatremia or hypocalcemia.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client with a colostomy about appropriate food choices. Which of the following foods should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Eggs are high-protein, easy to digest, and do not cause gas, making them ideal for colostomy clients. Dried fruits and peas are high-fiber and gas-producing, while pasta is acceptable but less emphasized.
