A client is brought to the emergency department with partial-thickness burns to his face, neck, arms, and chest after trying to put out a car fire. The nurse should implement which nursing actions for this client? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: This is incorrect because loss of peripheral vision is not a manifestation of cataracts, but of glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition that causes increased pressure inside the eye and damage to the optic nerve, which can lead to loss of vision in the outer edges of the visual field. The nurse should assess the client's intraocular pressure and visual field test results to rule out glaucoma.
Choice B reason: This is correct because a decreased ability to perceive colors is a manifestation of cataracts. Cataracts are a condition that causes clouding or opacity of the lens, which is the transparent structure behind the pupil that focuses light onto the retina. Cataracts can reduce the clarity and contrast of vision and make colors appear faded or yellowish. The nurse should ask the client about any changes in color perception or brightness of objects.
Choice C reason: This is incorrect because loss of central vision is not a manifestation of cataracts but of macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a condition that affects the macula, which is the central part of the retina that is responsible for sharp and detailed vision. Macular degeneration can cause blurred or distorted central vision, difficulty reading or recognizing faces, or dark spots in the visual field. The nurse should assess the client's visual acuity and fundoscopic examination results to rule out macular degeneration.
Choice D reason: This is incorrect because seeing bright flashes of light and floaters is not a manifestation of cataracts but of retinal detachment. Retinal detachment is a condition that occurs when the retina, which is the layer of tissue at the back of the eye that converts light into nerve impulses, separates from its underlying support tissue. Retinal detachment can cause sudden flashes of light, floaters, or shadows in the visual field. The nurse should refer the client to an ophthalmologist immediately if retinal detachment is suspected.

Choice A reason: This is correct because eating frequent small meals can help the client with IBS to avoid overloading the digestive system and triggering diarrhea. The nurse should advise the client to eat slowly chew well, and avoid foods that are spicy, fatty, or gas-producing.
Choice B reason: This is incorrect because increasing the intake of leafy greens and other sources of dietary fiber can worsen diarrhea by increasing stool bulk and motility. The nurse should advise the client to limit or avoid high-fiber foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, during acute flare-ups of IBS. The client can gradually reintroduce fiber when the symptoms subside.
Choice C reason: This is correct because increasing fluids can help the client with IBS to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance caused by diarrhea. The nurse should advise the client to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day and avoid caffeinated, alcoholic, or carbonated beverages that can irritate the bowel or cause gas.
Choice D reason: This is correct because taking prescribed medications on schedule can help the client with IBS to regulate bowel patterns and reduce diarrhea. The nurse should instruct the client on how to use medications, such as antidiarrheals, antispasmodics, or probiotics, as ordered by the provider. The nurse should also monitor the client for any adverse effects or interactions of the medications.
