Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Industry vs. inferiority. During the school-age stage (6-12 years old), children are focused on developing a sense of competence through mastering new skills. Planning home care for a child with asthma should consider this stage to promote feelings of industry (competence) rather than inferiority. Autonomy vs. shame and doubt (
A) is relevant to toddlers, Initiative vs. guilt (
B) is for preschoolers, and Identity vs. role confusion (
D) is for adolescents. These stages do not align with the specific needs and challenges of a school-age child recovering from an acute asthma attack.

Rationale: Antiembolism stockings are designed to promote circulation and prevent blood clots by applying gentle pressure to the legs.

By improving circulation, the stockings help prevent blood from pooling in the legs and reduce the likelihood of clot formation.

A: Incorrect. While antiembolism stockings can help prevent skin breakdown by improving circulation, their primary purpose is not focused on protecting the legs and heels from skin breakdown.
B: Incorrect. Antiembolism stockings do not serve the purpose of keeping the client warm; their main function is to promote circulation.
D: Incorrect. Antiembolism stockings are not intended to make leg exercises easier; their main function is to prevent blood clots.

A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has a new diagnosis of a latex allergy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D

Ink pens are a safe alternative to items containing latex.
