Question 1 of 5
A client is being discharged to home after prostatectomy for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Which point should the nurse plan to teach the client as part of the discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Notifying the primary health care provider about fever, increased pain, or inability to void is critical to detect complications like infection or urinary obstruction. Mowing the lawn is too strenuous too soon, lifting more than 20 pounds is prohibited, and 15 glasses of water daily is excessive; 6 to 8 glasses are sufficient.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse teaches a client with hypertension to recognize the signs/symptoms that may occur during periods of elevated blood pressure. The nurse determines that the client needs additional teaching if the client states that which sign/symptom is associated with this condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A feeling of fullness in the head is more likely associated with a sinus condition than hypertension. Cerebrovascular symptoms of hypertension include early morning headaches, occipital headaches, epistaxis, dizziness, blurred vision, lightheadedness, and vertigo. The client should be aware of these signs/symptoms and report them if they occur. The client should also be taught to self-monitor the blood pressure.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is creating a teaching plan for the client with Raynaud's disease. Which instruction should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Raynaud's disease is a vasospasm of the arterioles and arteries of the upper and lower extremities. The use of measures to prevent vasoconstriction is helpful for the management of Raynaud's disease. The hands and feet should be kept dry. Gloves and warm fabrics should be worn in cold weather, and the client should avoid exposure to nicotine and caffeine. The avoidance of situations that trigger stress is also helpful. Taking daily cool baths, maintaining a high-protein diet, and administering vitamin K are not components of the treatment for this disorder.
