A nurse in a provider's office is providing teaching to a client who has a
recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and a new prescription for
naproxen tablets. Which of the following statements by the client
requires further teaching?
A) "I can take this medication with food to prevent stomach upset"
B) "I can take this medication with aspirin"
C) "I should report any unusual bleeding or bruising"
D) "I should avoid alcohol while taking this medication"
Correct Answer: B
Rationale
The statement "I can take this medication with aspirin" requires further
teaching because naproxen and aspirin are both nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Concurrent use of multiple NSAIDs
significantly increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration,
and renal impairment. Clients should be advised to avoid taking
naproxen with other NSAIDs, including aspirin, unless specifically
prescribed by the healthcare provider. Option A is correct because
taking naproxen with food can help reduce gastrointestinal irritation.
Option C is correct because clients should report unusual bleeding or
bruising, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding or platelet
dysfunction. Option D is correct because alcohol consumption increases
the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when combined with NSAIDs.

A nurse is teaching a client who has HIV about the early manifestations
of AIDS. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in
the teaching?
A) "You can expect a persistent fever and swollen glands"
B) "You will experience a sudden onset of severe symptoms"
C) "You will have no symptoms until the final stages"
D) "You will develop skin rashes as the first sign"
Correct Answer: A
Rationale
Clients who have AIDS can experience persistent fever, swollen glands
(lymphadenopathy), diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue as early
manifestations. These symptoms indicate the onset of AIDS and the
progression from HIV infection to acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome. Option B is incorrect because the onset is typically gradual
rather than sudden. Option C is incorrect because many clients
experience symptoms as the immune system declines. Option D is
incorrect because skin rashes are not the first sign; constitutional
symptoms are more common.

,A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who is being
treated for genital warts. Which of the following statements indicates
that the client understands how to prevent transmission of the sexually
transmitted infection?
A) "I will bring my sexual partner in for treatment"
B) "I will use condoms only when I have visible warts"
C) "I will avoid sexual contact until the warts are completely gone"
D) "I will take antiviral medication daily to prevent transmission"
Correct Answer: A
Rationale
Bringing sexual partners in for treatment is essential for preventing
reinfection and transmission of genital warts, which are caused by the
human papillomavirus (HPV). Sexual partners should be evaluated and
treated to break the cycle of transmission. Option B is incorrect because
condoms should be used consistently, not just when visible warts are
present. Option C is incorrect because the virus may still be present
even if warts are not visible. Option D is incorrect because antiviral
medications are not typically used for genital warts; treatment is
directed at wart removal.

A nurse is teaching a client who has genital herpes about self-
management. Which of the following instructions should the nurse
include in the teaching?
, A) "Apply a warm compress to the lesions"
B) "Apply ice packs directly to the lesions"
C) "Take hot baths three times daily"
D) "Apply petroleum jelly to the lesions"
Correct Answer: A
Rationale
Applying warm compresses to the lesions can help relieve discomfort
associated with genital herpes. The nurse should also instruct the client
to take three to four sitz baths daily, avoid sexual activity when lesions
are present, use a mild soap, and pat the area dry. Option B is incorrect
because ice packs should not be applied directly to the lesions; they
may cause tissue damage. Option C is incorrect because hot baths may
increase discomfort; warm sitz baths are preferred. Option D is
incorrect because petroleum jelly can occlude the lesions and delay
healing; non-occlusive emollients are preferred.
