fracture.
- A capillary refill of 3 seconds in the nail beds of the toes is slowed but still
within the expected reference range after application of a cast.
- Cool, bilateral extremities are an indication of the client's overall body
temperature and general circulatory status and are an expected finding.

high treatment rate.
- Radiation, rather than Mohs surgery, can be used as a palliative treatment for
metastatic skin cancer.
- Mohs surgery is the preferred treatment for basal and squamous cell
carcinoma. The preferred treatment for melanoma is a wide, full thickness

cancerous tissue.
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA1c ) testing with a
client who has diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements indicates that the
client understands the teaching?
1) The HbA1c test can help to detect the presence of ketones in my body.
2) I will have my HbA1c checked twice per year
3) The HbA1c test should be performed 2 hours after I eat a meal that is high in
carbohydrates.
4) I will plan to fast before I have my HbA1c tested

, 2) I will have my HbA1c checked twice per year
- An HbA1c test provides the client's average glucose level for the preceding 3
months. The nurse should instruct the client to have her HbA1c tested twice
yearly to manage her glucose.
- The nurse should remind the client that urine testing can detect ketone
bodies.
- The nurse should remind the client that carbohydrate consumption is not
required for HbA1c testing.
- The nurse should remind the client that fasting is not required for HbA1c
testing.
