A. Open expression of anger
| | | |
B. Long-term feeling of powerlessness
| | | |
C. Willingness to postpone gratification
| | | |
,D. Compliance with health recomendations - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-(B) Long-
| | | | | | | |
term feeling of powerlessness
| | |
People living in poverty feel powerless because they do not have the buying
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
power or social status to effect change. Their anger is covert and not direct; in
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
addition, the anger rarely resolves their situation, resulting in feelings of
| | | | | | | | | | |
powerlessness and hopelessness. Economically deprived people are less likely to
| | | | | | | | | |
postpone gratification because they focus on the present, not the future. Health
| | | | | | | | | | | |
recommendations may be misunderstood, confusing, or perceived as of little | | | | | | | | | |
value and are frequently ignored.

Which topic is most important for the nurse to teach in a community health
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
promotion class for middle-aged adults? | | | |
A. Tobacco cessation
| |
B. Infection prevention
| |
C. Alcohol abstinence
| |
D. Pain management - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-(A) Tobacco cessation
| | | | | | |
Tobacco use is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the most
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
common cause of death in middle-aged and older adults. In addition, tobacco use
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|is a risk factor for multiple types of cancer, and cancer is the second leading
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
cause of death in middle-aged and older adults. Prevention of infection is also an
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
important topic, but it si not as likely to cause death in this age group as tobacco
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
use. Alcohol abstinence would be an important topic to discuss with groups at
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
risk for alcohol abuse, but abstinence is not recommended for all middle-aged
| | | | | | | | | | | |
adults. Pain management would be an important topic to discuss with clients who
| | | | | | | | | | | |
, have chronic pain, but it is not the most important topic to teach to all middle-
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
aged adults. |
Which instruction is beneficial for an aging Black client with hypertension?
| | | | | | | | | |
A. "Check the pulse daily."
| | | |
B. "Have an annual urinalysis."
| | | |
C. "Record blood pressure weekly."
| | | |
D. "Visit an ophthalmologist monthly." - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-(B) "Have an
| | | | | | | | | |
annual urinalysis." |
Blacks have 20% less blood flow to the kidneys because of high sodium
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
consumption. This causes anatomical changes in the blood vessels, thereby
| | | | | | | | | |
increasing the risk of kidney failure. Instructing the client with hypertension to
| | | | | | | | | | | |
have an annual urine examination would be beneficial. If the client has protein in
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
the urine, this is a sign of high blood pressure and can signify kidney damage.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Checking the pulse daily poses no harm to the individual but does not determine
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
if the client has hypertension.
| | | | |
Recording the blood pressure weekly is not often enough to identify
| | | | | | | | | | |
hypertension. The client's blood pressure should be taken at least daily to
| | | | | | | | | | | |
determine if the client has problems. | | | | | |
If the client has an eye-related problem, visiting an ophthalmologist should be
| | | | | | | | | | | |
suggested, but it is usually not monthly. | | | | | |
