Question 1 of 5
A teenager returns to the gynecological clinic for a follow-up visit for a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Which statement by the teenager indicates the need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When treating STIs, all sexual contacts must be contacted and treated with medication. The treatment of a teenager for an STI is confidential, and parents will not be contacted, even if the client is less than 18 years old. Clients should always finish the course of antibiotics prescribed by the primary health care provider. Clients should always use a condom with any sexual contact.

Question 3 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 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client with acute kidney injury to include proteins in the diet that are considered high quality or complete proteins. The nurse determines that the client needs further teaching if he indicates that which food item is considered high quality?
