A clinic nurse is planning to teach a group of clients about laryngeal cancer.

The nurse should include which of the following risk factors associated with the development of laryngeal cancer? Select all that apply.

Client uses chewing tobacco every day.

Client is an industrial-commercial painter.

Client is an ultrasound technician.

Client wears magnetic healing bracelets.

Client’s husband smokes cigarettes.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,E

Choice A rationale
Using chewing tobacco every day is a significant risk factor for laryngeal cancer. Tobacco contains many carcinogens, which can damage the cells in the larynx and lead to cancer.
Choice B rationale
Being an industrial-commercial painter is associated with an increased risk of laryngeal cancer. This is likely due to exposure to certain chemicals and toxins that are used in paints and other materials.
Choice C rationale
Being an ultrasound technician is not typically associated with an increased risk of laryngeal cancer. Ultrasound technicians are not generally exposed to the types of toxins or risk factors that are associated with laryngeal cancer.
Choice D rationale
Wearing magnetic healing bracelets is not associated with an increased risk of laryngeal cancer. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that these bracelets have any effect on cancer risk.
Choice E rationale
Having a spouse who smokes cigarettes is a risk factor for laryngeal cancer. Secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoke, contains many of the same carcinogens as the smoke inhaled by smokers. Exposure to secondhand smoke can increase a person’s risk of developing laryngeal cancer.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
The initial assessment finding in a client diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (PE) is typically dyspnea and anxiety. This is because a PE can block blood flow in the lungs, leading to difficulty breathing (dyspnea). The sudden onset of this symptom can cause significant anxiety in the patient.
Choice B rationale
An altered level of consciousness is not typically an initial finding in PE. While severe cases can lead to decreased oxygen levels in the blood, causing confusion or loss of consciousness, these are not usually initial symptoms.
Choice C rationale
Wheezing in lung bases is not a typical initial finding in PE. Wheezing is more commonly associated with conditions that cause narrowing of the airways, such as asthma or COPD12.
Choice D rationale
While an increased pulse and respiratory rate can occur in PE due to the body’s attempt to compensate for decreased oxygen in the blood, they are not the most specific initial findings. Dyspnea and anxiety are more characteristic initial symptoms of PE12.

A. Cherry jello. B. Clear broth soup. C. Chicken noodle soup. D. Cream of potato soup.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Cherry jello is not a part of a full-liquid diet. While it is soft and easy to swallow, it does not provide the necessary nutrients that a patient recovering from surgery for laryngeal cancer would need.
Choice B rationale
Clear broth soup is part of a clear liquid diet, not a full liquid diet. A full liquid diet includes foods that are liquid at room temperature or melt at body temperature.
Choice C rationale
Chicken noodle soup is not suitable for a full-liquid diet. The noodles and chicken pieces could pose a swallowing risk for a patient recovering from surgery for laryngeal cancer.
Choice D rationale
Cream of potato soup is a suitable choice for a full-liquid diet. It is smooth and easy to swallow, and it provides necessary nutrients.
