A slightly overweight client is to be discharged from the hospital after a
cholecystectomy. What is most important for the nurse to include in teaching the
client about nutrition?
Listing low-protein foods that may be included in the diet
Explaining that fatty foods may not be tolerated for several weeks
Teaching the importance of a low-calorie diet to promote weight reduction
Encouraging the intake of high vitamin C, vitamin A, and zinc foods at each meal

Explaining that fatty foods may not be tolerated for several weeks
Bile, which aids in fat digestion, is not as concentrated as before surgery.
Once the body adapts to the absence of the gallbladder, the client should
be able to tolerate a regular diet that contains fat. Initially the client should
avoid fatty foods unless otherwise indicated. A low-protein diet is not
necessary. Although teaching the client about a low-calorie diet to
, promote weight reduction is important, it is not as important as temporary
avoidance of fatty foods with the gradual resumption of a regular diet.
While vitamin C, vitamin A, and zinc are important, they are not the priority.

3. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is going well when a 12-year- old patient in therapy
reports to the nurse practitioner:
a. "I was so mad I wanted to hit my mother."
b. "I thought that everyone at school hated me. That's not true. Most people like me
and I have a friend named Todd."
c. "I forgot that you told me to breathe when I become angry."

A client reports having a severe throbbing unilateral headache, nausea, and
intolerance to light and sound. What is the chronologic order for the
pathophysiologic events that are causing this headache? Arrange events in order
from 1 to 5 with 1 being the first event.
1.Hyper-excitable neuronal pathway stimulation
2.Trigeminal nerve and nociceptor activation
3.Vasodilation, inflammation, and swelling
4.Prostaglandin release
5.Throbbing pain

3.Prostaglandin release
4.Vasodilation, inflammation, and swelling
5.Throbbing pain
The classic signs of a migraine headache are throbbing and unilateral head
pain with nausea and sensitivity to light, sound, and/or head movement.
Hyper-excitable neuronal pathway stimulation initiates the migraine
headache by starting many vascular changes. The trigeminal nerve pathway
then activates and promotes nociceptor (pain receptor) activation.
Cerebral artery dilation then facilitates prostaglandin release, and
vasodilation promotes prostaglandins and other intravascular molecules to
leak into surrounding tissue which contributes to widespread tissue
inflammation and swelling and the sensation of throbbing pain.
Prostaglandins are a well-known and significant contributor to the
inflammatory process.
7. Martin is a 23-year-old male with a new diagnosis of schizophrenia, and his family is
receiving information from a home health nurse. The topic of education is suicide
prevention, and the nurse recognizes effective teaching when the mother says:

b. "Suicide risk is greatest in the first few years after diagnosis."
c. "Suicide is not common in schizophrenia due to confusion."
d. "Most persons diagnosed with schizophrenia die of suicide."
