,~ Non-Pharmacological Management of Ankle Sprain
A young athlete presents to the clinic after twisting their ankle during a
soccer match. The assessment confirms an eversion ankle sprain with mild
swelling and pain but no fracture. The nurse practitioner educates the
patient on immediate non-pharmacological management to reduce
inflammation and promote healing. Which of the following is the most
appropriate initial intervention?
A. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation
B. A heating pad and diclofenac sodium (Voltaren) cream
C. Alternate between ice and heat
D. Physical therapy referral
Correct Answer: A. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation
Rationale:
The RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) is the standard
initial non-pharmacological treatment for acute ankle sprains. It helps
reduce swelling, pain, and tissue inflammation during the acute phase of
injury. Ice constricts blood vessels to limit edema, compression supports the
joint, and elevation promotes venous return. Heat is contraindicated early
because it can worsen swelling. Physical therapy may be introduced later
during rehabilitation, but it is not the first-line immediate treatment.
Clinical Presentation of Uncomplicated Chlamydia
,A sexually active young adult male visits a clinic after a recent exposure to a
partner diagnosed with Chlamydia trachomatis. He reports feeling well and
denies any urinary symptoms or discharge. The nurse practitioner explains
that many cases of uncomplicated chlamydial infection may be
asymptomatic. Which of the following is most likely in this patient?
A. Urticaria
B. No remarkable clinical symptoms
C. Green mucoid penile discharge
D. Penile ulcer
Correct Answer: B. No remarkable clinical symptoms
Rationale:
Chlamydia trachomatis is often called a “silent infection” because many
infected individuals, especially males, are asymptomatic. When symptoms
do occur, they may include mild dysuria or clear to white urethral discharge,
but many cases show no obvious signs. Urticaria is unrelated and represents
an allergic reaction. Green mucoid discharge is more typical of gonorrhea.
Penile ulcers are associated with syphilis or herpes simplex virus infections,
not chlamydia.
Initial Management of Infant GERD
A 3-week-old infant is brought to the clinic by a parent who reports
frequent spit-ups after feedings and irritability. The infant is otherwise
healthy and gaining weight appropriately. The nurse practitioner suspects
uncomplicated gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and recommends
, conservative management. Which of the following interventions is most
appropriate as initial therapy?
A. Prone position and rotate formulas
B. Smaller, more frequent feedings while holding infant upright
C. Semisupine position and larger, less frequent feedings
D. Lateral position and early solid food introduction
Correct Answer: B. Smaller, more frequent feedings while holding infant
upright
Rationale:
Initial management of uncomplicated GERD in infants focuses on
conservative, non-invasive measures. Feeding smaller volumes more
frequently reduces gastric distention and reflux episodes. Keeping the
infant upright during and after feeds helps gravity prevent backflow of
stomach contents into the esophagus. Prone positioning is not
recommended due to the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Introducing solids or using inappropriate positioning does not align with
safe infant feeding guidelines.
Risk Factor for DVT and PE
A hospitalized adult patient is being assessed for risk factors associated with
venous thromboembolism. The nurse practitioner reviews the patient’s
history to identify conditions that increase the likelihood of deep vein
thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Which of the following is
a known risk factor?
