Question 1 of 5
The nurse creates a plan of care for an older client diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. It is important that the nurse plans to complete which action first?
Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: HRT reduces fracture risk by improving bone density. It increases breast cancer, stroke, and CAD risks, and does not decrease CAD risk in non-smokers.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing a client diagnosed with pneumonia for discharge. Which statement by the client should alert the nurse to the fact that the client needs further teaching before being discharged?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Deep breathing and coughing exercises and the use of incentive spirometry should be practiced for 6 to 8 weeks after the client diagnosed with pneumonia is discharged from the hospital to keep the alveoli expanded and promote the removal of lung secretions.

The period of convalescence with pneumonia is often lengthy, and it may be weeks before the client feels a sense of well-being. Adequate rest is needed to maintain progress toward recovery.
