Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client with a retinal detachment has just undergone a gas tamponade repair. Which discharge instruction should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Face-down positioning maintains gas tamponade pressure on the retina, aiding reattachment. Elevation, sunglasses, and reading restrictions are secondary or incorrect.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing the older adult client with otosclerosis. Which diagnostic characteristics should the nurse associate with otosclerosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Otosclerosis impairs the air conduction of sound waves; therefore, bone conduction is typically greater than air conduction. Hearing aids and surgical restoration (stapedectomy) are effective, and progressive hearing loss is detected by serial audiograms.
