The clinic nurse is teaching a client with osteoarthritis to the knees bilaterally about self-care.
Which teaching points will the nurse include in the client's plan of care? (Select all that apply.)
A.
Apply heat packs to your knees as needed for pain.
B.
Support your knees while you are in bed with a pillow or a rolled towel.
C.
Take 1000 mg of acetaminophen every 4 hours, as needed for pain.
D.
Walk no less than 3 miles every day.
E.
Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.
F.
Eat a balanced diet, including fish with Omega-3 fatty acids.
A, B, E, F
Rationale:The maximum daily dose of acetaminophen is 4 g, the instruction includes up to 6
g/per day. The best type of exercise does not place additional stress on the knee joints, such as
biking or swimming. Apply heat to increase circulation and ice packs to decrease swelling.
Support to the knees can take the strain off of the joint. Getting rest will help with coping with
, the pain of the disease. Eating a balanced diet may help with weight loss; additional weight
places strain on the joint.
Which instruction should the nurse teach a female client about the prevention of toxic shock
syndrome?
A.
"Get immunization against human papillomavirus (HPV)."
B.
"Change your tampon frequently."
C.
"Empty your bladder after intercourse."
D.
"Obtain a yearly flu vaccination."
B
Rationale:Certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus produce a toxin that can enter the
bloodstream through the vaginal mucosa. Changing the tampon frequently reduces the
exposure to these toxins, which are the primary cause of toxic shock syndrome. Option A helps
prevent cervical cancer, not toxic shock syndrome. Option C can lessen the incidence of urinary
tract infection. Option D can help prevent some individuals from contracting the flu and
pneumonia, but no relationship to toxic shock syndrome has been proven.
The nurse observes the chest tube drainage has exceeded 300 mL of bright red bloody fluid for
the past 30 minutes in the client after a coronary artery bypass graft. What is the nurse's next
action?
A.
Notify the healthcare provider.
B.
