A nurse is collecting a health history from a client. Which of the following findings is the highest
risk factor for the client developing bladder cancer? - The client uses tobacco.
Rational: The nurse should apply the safety and risk reduction priority-setting framework. This
framework assigns priority to the factor or situation posing the greatest safety risk to the client.
When there are several risks to client safety, the one posing the greatest threat is the highest
priority. The nurse should use Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the ABC priority-setting framework,
or nursing knowledge to identify which risk poses the greatest threat to the client. Therefore,
the nurse should identify the client's tobacco use as being the greatest risk factor for developing
bladder cancer.
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who is postoperative following a right
mastectomy for breast cancer. The client will be discharged with two Jackson-Pratt drains.
Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching? - "The
drainage tubes often are removed at the same time as the stitches."
Rational: The nurse should instruct the client that the provider will remove the drainage tubes
at the same time the stitches are removed, usually within 7 to 10 days.
A nurse is admitting a client who has multiple myeloma and a white blood cell count of
2,200/mm3. Which of the following foods should the nurse prohibit the family members from
bringing to the client? - A fresh fruit basket
, Rational: Raw fruits and vegetables are contraindicated for a client who has neutropenia, as the
skin might harbor bacteria that can cause an infection. The nurse should prohibit these foods
from entering the client's room.
A nurse is providing preoperative teaching for a client who has colorectal cancer and is to
undergo placement of a colostomy with a perineal wound. Which of the following statements
by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching? - "I can have only liquids for 2
days before the surgery."
Rational: The client should consume a full or clear liquid diet for 24 to 48 hr before the surgery
to decrease bulk. The client should consume a low-residue diet for several days prior to surgery
to decrease peristalsis.
A nurse is collecting a health history from a female client who is undergoing screening for breast
cancer. Which of the following factors should the nurse identify for placing the client at the
greatest risk for developing breast cancer? - Over 50 years of age
Ration: A female client whose age is over 50 years has a high increased risk for developing
breast cancer.
A nurse on an oncology unit is providing discharge teaching to an adolescent female client who
received a bone marrow transplant for leukemia. Which of the following information should the
nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.) - -"Take your temperature twice
each day"
-"It is important to always wear shoes" is correct.
-"Avoid using tampons" is correct
Rational:Clients who are postoperative bone marrow transplants are immunosuppressed and
should continually monitor for manifestations of infection. A temperature that is greater than
38° C (100° F) should be reported immediately to the provider. A client who had a bone marrow
transplant is immunosuppressed and should wear shoes to prevent injury and decrease the risk
for infection.The use of tampons is discouraged because they can disrupt the mucosal layer of
the vagina and, if left in too long, can support the growth of bacteria.
A nurse is caring for a client who has breast cancer and is receiving a combination of
chemotherapy medications. The client expresses confusion about the therapy. Which of the
