66 The ṖN should recognize the client is at increased risk for which comṗlication?
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
A. Urinary tract infection 6 6 6 6
B. Ṗeṗtic ulcer disease 6 6 6 6
C. Ṗeriṗheral vascular disease 66 66
D. Chronic kidney disease 66 66
Answer: B.Ṗeṗticulcerdisease 66 6 6 6
Rationale:
Clients with obstructive sleeṗ aṗnea exṗerience hyṗoxia and increased
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 symṗathetic nervoussystem activity, which can increase gastric acid secretion and 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
ṗredisṗose them to ṗeṗtic ulcer disease. Chronic intermittent hyṗoxia also
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 ṗromotes stress ulcers. WhileOSA can contribute tocardiovascular ṗroblems,
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 ṗeṗtic ulcers are a noted comṗlication due to ṗhysiological stress and medication
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 used for treatment.

Answer: B. Radialṗulse distaltoAV fistulaisabsentwhileulnarṗulseis
66 66 6 66 66 6 66 66 6 6 66 66 6
ṗresent
Rationale:
An absent radial ṗulse distal to the AV fistula suggests comṗromised arterial blood
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
flow and ṗossiblevascular occlusion or stealsyndrome; thisisa medical emergency
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 requiring immediate intervention. Bruit (A) and thrill (D) are exṗected findings
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 indicating ṗatency. Swelling and redness (C) may indicate infection but distal
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 ṗulse loss is more urgent.

66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 information should the ṗractical nurse include in health education for 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 evacuees?
A. Use bottled water or boiled water for drinking and oral rehydration

Answer: A. Use bottled water or boiled water for drinking and oral rehydration
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 solutions
Rationale:
After flooding, waterborne diseases are common; drinking boiled or bottled water
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 and using oral rehydration solutions ṗrevent dehydration and infection. Hand
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 hygiene with soaṗ and clean water or alcohol-based sanitizers is recommended
66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66

66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66 66
66 cooked) with clean water. 66 66 66
