A pediatric nurse practitioner is caring for a 2-year-old client
who has just been diagnosed with asthma. The nurse has
provided the parents with information that includes potential
causative agents for an asthmatic reaction. Which potential
causative agent that may trigger an attack should the nurse
describe? A. Household pets
B. Inadequate sleep
C. Psychosocial stress
D. Bacteria - ANSWER-ANS: A
Common causative agents that may trigger an asthma attack
are as follows: dust, dust mites, pets, soap, certain foods,
molds, and pollens. Although some research links inadequate
sleep to making asthma worse, it is not a common trigger for
attacks. Psychosocial stress is anything that translate to a
perceived threat to social status. Stress is listed as a trigger
for asthma, but this type of stress is unlikely in a 2-year-old
,client. A viral, not bacterial, component is linked to asthma
triggers.
The hospital case manager for a group of recently discharged
clients with asthma is providing health education. Which
aspect of client teaching would have the greatest impact on
preventing readmissions?
A. Alternative treatment modalities
B. Family participation in care
C. Pathophysiology of the disease process
D. Self-care and the therapeutic regimen - ANSWER-ANS: D
Knowledge about self-care and the therapeutic regimen would
have the greatest impact on preventing admissions. For
clients, the ability to understand the complex therapies of
inhalers, anti-allergy and anti-reflux medications, and
avoidance measures are essential for long-term control.
Knowledge of alternative treatment modalities, such herbs,
vitamins, or yoga, may help but is usually most effective as a
complementary measure to an existing plan. Involving the
family in care is important and can help the client with
compliance, support, and encouragement, but ultimately the
client is responsible for their own health. Understanding the
pathophysiology of the disease process is important to
include in education as it provides a better understanding in
regards to causation and how it affects the body. However,
,how to physically manage asthma takes precedence over
understanding in terms of readmissions strategies.
A nurse is developing a teaching plan for a client with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. What should the nurse include
as the most important area of teaching?
A. Avoiding extremes of heat and cold
B. Setting and accepting realistic short- and long-term goals
C. Adopting a lifestyle of moderate activity
D. Avoiding emotional disturbances and stressful situations -
ANSWER-ANS:
B
A major area of teaching involves setting and accepting
realistic short- and long-term goals. The other options should
also be included in the teaching plan, but they are not areas
that are as high a priority as setting and accepting realistic
goals.
A nurse is working with a 10-year-old client who is undergoing
a diagnostic work up for suspected asthma. Which signs and
symptoms are consistent with a diagnosis of asthma? Select
all that apply.
A. Chest tightness
B. Crackles
C. Bradypnea
, D. Wheezing
E. Cough - ANSWER-ANS: A, D, E
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that
causes airway hyper responsiveness, mucosal edema, and
mucus production. This inflammation ultimately leads to
recurrent episodes of asthma symptoms: cough, chest
tightness, wheezing, and dyspnea. Crackles and bradypnea
are not typical symptoms of asthma.
An asthma nurse education is working with a group of
adolescent asthma clients. What intervention is most likely to
prevent asthma exacerbations among these clients?
A. Encouraging clients to carry a corticosteroid rescue inhaler
at all times
B. Educating clients about recognizing and avoiding asthma
triggers
C. Teaching clients to utilize alternative therapies in asthma
management D. Ensuring that clients keep their
immunizations up to date - ANSWER-ANS:
B
Asthma exacerbations are best managed by early treatment
and education, including the use of written action plans as
part of any overall effort to educate clients about self-
management techniques, especially those with moderate or
