2. What intervention by the nurse would be the best to prevent deep vein thrombosis after a fracture of the hip?

A. Encouraging bedrest
B. Applying antiembolism stockings
C. Tell the client to take anticoagulants
D. Teaching about smoking cessation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The best intervention to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after a fracture of the hip is to apply antiembolism stockings. These stockings help promote circulation and prevent blood clots from forming in the legs due to immobility. Encouraging bedrest is not recommended as it can increase the risk of DVT. While anticoagulants are used in some cases, the primary prevention method is mechanical prophylaxis like antiembolism stockings. Teaching about smoking cessation is important for overall health but is not directly related to preventing DVT in this scenario.

3. What does CREST stand for?

A. Calcinosis, Raynaud's, Esophageal dysmotility, Sclerodactyly and Telecines
B. Calcinosis, Reverse isolation, Esophageal dysmotility, Sclerodactyly and Telangiectasia
C. Calcinosis, Raynaud's, Everted colon, Sclerodactyly and Telangiectasia
D. Calcinosis, Raynaud's Esophageal dysmotility, Sclerodactyly and telangiectasia

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

4. The client has been asked to perform weight-bearing exercises three times a week. The client admits to not doing the recommended exercises. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?

A. I walk 3 miles every day. Would you like to join me?
B. Tell me more about your experience with these exercises.
C. My dad never exercised. He fell and broke his hip. Is that your goal?
D. You should be doing these exercises.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The most appropriate response by the nurse is to ask the client to elaborate on their experience with the exercises. By doing so, the nurse can gain insight into any barriers the client may be facing and work together to find solutions to improve adherence. Choice A is not appropriate as it doesn't address the client's situation. Choice C is not relevant and may induce fear in the client. Choice D is directive and does not promote open communication or understanding of the client's perspective.
