1. Dental hygienists should not encourage patients with eating disorders such as bulimia to brush immediately after vomiting because self-induced vomiting causes erosion of tooth enamel and dentin hypersensitivity.
- A. Both the statement and the reason are correct and related
- B. Both the statement and the reason are correct but are not related
- C. The statement is correct, but the reason is not correct
- D. The statement is not correct, but the reason is correct
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The corrected question emphasizes that patients with eating disorders like bulimia should not brush immediately after vomiting as it can worsen enamel erosion due to the acidic content in the mouth. The correct answer is D because patients should rinse with water or a fluoride mouthwash instead of brushing to protect their teeth. Choice A is incorrect because encouraging patients to brush after vomiting is not recommended. Choice B is incorrect as the reason provided is valid but not suitable for the action of encouraging brushing. Choice C is incorrect as the reason for not brushing after vomiting is to prevent enamel erosion.
2. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels are collectively referred to as _____.
- A. Coronary artery disease
- B. Cardiovascular disease
- C. Coronary heart disease
- D. Coronary vessel disease
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct term for diseases of the heart and blood vessels is cardiovascular disease. While coronary artery disease (Choice A) specifically involves the narrowing of coronary arteries, it is just one type of cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease (Choice C) is also a specific condition related to the heart's blood vessels. Choice D, coronary vessel disease, is not a commonly used term to describe diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Therefore, Choice B, cardiovascular disease, is the most inclusive and appropriate term to refer to these conditions.
3. A client with Crohn’s disease is receiving parenteral nutrition. Which of the following interventions should the nurse not include in the care of this client?
- A. Remove the parenteral nutrition solution from the refrigerator 2 hours before infusion.
- B. Remove unused parenteral nutrition after 12 hours of use.
- C. Monitor daily laboratory values and report abnormalities as needed.
- D. Monitor the flow rate of the parenteral nutrition carefully and adjust it if necessary.
Correct answer: Remove unused parenteral nutrition after 12 hours of use.
Rationale: In caring for a client receiving parenteral nutrition, it is important to follow proper guidelines to ensure safety and effectiveness. Unused parenteral nutrition should be removed after 24 hours, not 12 hours, to prevent contamination and reduce the risk of infection. Option A is correct as it ensures the solution is at room temperature before infusion. Option C is essential for monitoring the client's response to parenteral nutrition. Option D is important to maintain the correct flow rate and adjust it as needed. Therefore, option B is the incorrect choice among the options provided.
4. A client is receiving education from a nurse regarding the dietary changes needed for weight loss. Which of the following actions should the nurse perform first?
- A. Educate the client about daily caloric requirements.
- B. Determine the client’s daily caloric intake.
- C. Provide the client with meal planning information.
- D. Show the client how to identify the fat content of packaged foods.
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is to determine the client’s daily caloric intake first. This step is crucial in understanding the client's current dietary habits and establishing a baseline for creating an effective weight loss plan. Educating the client about daily caloric requirements (Choice A) can only be done effectively after knowing the client's current intake. Providing meal planning information (Choice C) and teaching the client how to identify fat content in foods (Choice D) come after determining the baseline caloric intake to tailor the plan accordingly.
