Question 1 of 5
A client with peripheral arterial disease has received instructions from the nurse about how to limit the progression of the disease. The nurse determines that the client needs further teaching if which statement was made by the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The application of heat directly to the extremity is contraindicated. The limb may have decreased sensitivity and be more at risk for burns. Additionally, the direct application of heat raises the oxygen and nutritional requirements of the tissue even further. The long-term management of peripheral arterial disease consists of measures that increase peripheral circulation (exercise), promote vasodilation (warmth), relieve pain, and maintain tissue integrity (foot care and nutrition).
Question 2 of 5
Which instruction should the nurse include in the teaching plan for a client taking iron supplements to correct iron deficiency anemia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The client should avoid taking the iron supplements with milk or antacids because these items decrease the absorption of iron. The client should also avoid taking the iron with food, if possible. Finally, the client should take in sufficient fiber and fluids to prevent constipation as a side effect of iron therapy. The client should increase the intake of natural sources of iron, such as meats, fish, and poultry.
Question 3 of 5
A client diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus is being discharged from the hospital after an occurrence of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS). The nurse creates a discharge teaching plan for the client and identifies which intervention as a priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Monitoring for dehydration is the priority for HHS, as it can progress rapidly and is life-threatening. Exercise, diet, and follow-up are important but secondary to preventing dehydration-related complications.
Question 4 of 5
The home care nurse visits a client who was recently diagnosed with cirrhosis and provides home care management instructions to the client. Which statement by the client indicates the need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease, and acetaminophen (Tylenol) should be avoided because it can cause fatal liver damage in clients with cirrhosis. Adequate rest, regular weight monitoring, and sufficient carbohydrate intake (2000 to 3000 calories daily) are appropriate for managing cirrhosis.
