The nurse is preparing discharge instructions for an older adult client
with cellulitis of the leg. What should the nurse teach the client and
family regarding ways to prevent this health problem from occurring in
the future?
a. "Do not allow the client to walk without assistance."
b. "Bring the client to the doctor if there is a fall."
c. "Keep the client off her leg as much as possible."
d. "Maintain a healthy diet."
Give this one a go later!
d. "Maintain a healthy diet."
, a. Speaking to the client in a soft and calm tone
rationale: Speaking in a soft, calm manner to an excited client is the first step to try
defusing the situation. The nurse's tone may calm the excited client, regardless of
language. Using short sentences is a useful tool, but in the case of an excited client,
the nurse would attempt to calm the client first. Isolating the client may be
necessary if the client's behavior escalates to violence, but that is not evident here
and is not the first choice of action. Giving a sedative is the last resort and is used
only if the client is threatening to hurt self or others.
d. "Notify the healthcare provider if you notice swelling, warmth, or tenderness at
the wound site."
Rationale: A client being discharged with a surgical wound has to be instructed on
the detection of infection, as the skin is the first line of defense. Signs such as
edema, heat, and tenderness would indicate a local infection. Increasing fruits and
vegetables would increase vitamin C, which helps with wound healing, but more
protein would be the best choice. Irrigating with hydrogen peroxide would break
down good granulating tissue, so this also would not increase healing. Applying
lubricating lotion to the edges of a wound would impede the healing process.
a. Seek preventive care at the local health department.
rationale: none given

A novice nurse is working in a busy emergency department of a
hospital, situated in a culturally diverse area of the city. Which should
the nurse do when providing culturally competent care?
, a. Possess the underlying background knowledge that will provide
these clients with the best possible health care.
b. Try to learn about the attitudes toward health care and traditions of
the different cultures in that area.
c. Strive to be culturally sensitive, culturally appropriate, and culturally
competent.
d. Understand and attend to the total context of the client's situation,
using knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
Give this one a go later!
a. "Delays of diagnoses lead to higher mortality and morbidity rates."
rationale: Those who are not insured, or are underinsured, often do not seek
treatment in a timely manner due to finances. As a result, diagnosis is made in the
later stages of the disease, resulting in decreased chance of survival and an
increased cost of treatment. Children who do not have insurance have been denied
health coverage in the past, but this is no longer the case; immunizations are free
for children at public health clinics. Adults age 65 and older are eligible
