On assessment, the nurse noted generalized skin dryness, particularly on the arms, legs, and face. The nurse un derstands the importance of skin integrity, especially considering the patient’s age and comorbidities. Which of the following nursing interventions should the nurse consider when addressing the patient’s skin dryness? Select all that apply. o A. Consult the dietitian about increasing the patient’s fat intake, and take necessary measures to prevent infection . o B. Use hypoallergenic soap when bathing the patient . o C. Encourage the patient to drink at least 2 liters of water per day . o D. Coordinate with the physician to refer the patient to a dermatologist . o E. Replace hospital -issued gowns with home -laundered ones . o F. Frequently apply a hydrating lotion to the patient's skin . o G. Offer the patient warm tea thrice daily . ANSWER Correct Answers: B, C, and F. Using hypoallergenic soap prevents further irritation and drying of the skin. Drinking adequate water assists in maintaining skin hydration and health. Applying a hydrating lotion helps seal in moisture, preventing further drying and nourishing the skin. T hese interventions directly address the root cause of skin dryness and provide comprehensive care to promote skin integrity. While some of the other interventions may have benefits in certain contexts, B, C, and F are the most directly applicable to the pa tient’s skin condition in this scenario. 2 方式更加开放、灵活。互 联网提供了丰

The patient has a history of chronic venous insufficiency in both lower extremities. The nurse is preparing to provide a bed bath to the patient. The char ge nurse advises the nurse to use long, firm strokes from the distal to the proximal areas when washing the patient’s extremities. The primary reason for this technique is to: o A. Facilitate thorough examination and skin assessment . o B. Prevent musculoskeletal injuries for the nurse during the procedure . o C. Enhance venous blood return and reduce the risk of venous stasis . o D. Induce vasoconstriction, thereby augmenting peripheral circulation . o E. Stimulate the lymphatic system and reduce potential edema . o F. Offer therapeutic touch, which can calm the patient . ANSWER Correct Answer: C. Increases venous blood return. Massaging or washing the extremities from distal to proximal areas promotes venous blood return towards the heart, which is especially important for patients with venous insufficiency. This technique counteracts the effects of gravity and can reduce the ri sk of venous stasis, which can be particularly beneficial in patients with compromised circulation like the one in this scenario. While some of the other choices have valid reasons within different contexts, the most direct and primary reason for this tech nique in this clinical scenario is to enhance venous return. 3. 3.

Rapid eye movement (REM) stage Other characteristics of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are deep sleep (the patient cannot be awakened easily), depressed muscle tone, and possibly irregular heart and respiratory rates. This is the stage associated with dreaming. Interestingly, the EEG is similar to an awake individual, but the skeletal muscles are atonic and without movement. The exception is the eye and diaphragmatic breathing muscles, which remain active. The breathing rate is altered though, being more erratic and irregular. This stage usually starts 90 minutes after falling asleep, and each of the REM cycles gets longer throughout the night. The first period typically lasts 10 minutes, and the final one can last up to an hour. • Option A: Non-REM sleep is a deep, restful sleep without dreaming. This is the lightest stage of sleep and starts when more than 50% of the alpha waves are replaced with low -
amplitude mixed -frequency (LAMF) activity. There is muscle tone present in the skeletal musc le and breathing tends to occur at a regular rate. This stage tends to last 1 to 5 minutes, consisting of around 5% of the total cycle. • Option C: This stage represents deeper sleep the heart rate and body temperature drop. It is characterized by the presence of sleep spindles, K -complexes, or both. These sleep spindles will activate the superior temporal gyri, anterior cingulate, insular cortices, a nd the thalamus. The K -complexes show a transition into a deeper sleep. Stage 2 sleep lasts around 25 minutes in the initial cycle and lengthens with each successive cycle, eventually consisting of about 50% of total sleep. • Option D: Delta stage, or slow -wave sleep, occurs during non -
REM Stages III and IV and is often equated with quiet sleep. This is considered the deepest stage of sleep and is characterized by a much slower frequency with high amplitude 4 方式更加开放、灵活。互 联网提供了丰

As people get older, they tend to spend less time in this slow, delta wave sleep and more time st age N2 sleep. This is the stage when the body repairs and regrows its tissues, builds bone and muscle, and strengthens the immune system. 4. 4. Question 1 point(s ) The natural sedative in meat and milk products (especially warm milk) that can help induce sleep is: o A. Flurazepa m o B. Temazepa m o C. Methotrimeprazin e o D. Tryptopha n ANSWER Correct Answer: D. Tryptophan Tryptophan is a natural sedative; flurazepam (Dalmane), temazepam (Restoril), and methotrimeprazine (Levoprome) are hypnotic sedatives. Protein foods such as milk and milk products contain the sleep -inducing amino acid tryptophan. Having warm milk at bedti me is a good way to work towards reaching the recommended number of servings of Milk and Alternatives each day, and can be a comforting way to unwind. Tryptophan is an amino acid that promotes sleep and is found in small amounts in all protein foods. It is a precursor to the sleep -inducing compounds serotonin (a neurotransmitter), and melatonin (a hormone which also acts as a neurotransmitter). • Option A: Flurazepam (marketed under the brand names Dalmane and Dalmadorm) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. It produces a metabolite with a long half -life, which may stay in the bloodstream for days.
