A home health nurse is reviewing treatment goals with a client who has diabetes mellitus.
The nurse should evaluate which of the following laboratory tests to determine effective long- term management of blood glucose levels?

A. A client who has an ileal conduit and mucus in the pouch - While mucus in the ileal conduit pouch should be monitored, it is not an urgent priority compared to assessing for potential complications such as bleeding in another client.

B. A client who has an arteriovenous fistula that vibrates when palpated - A vibrating arteriovenous fistula indicates normal functioning and does not require immediate assessment.

C. A client who had a transurethral resection of the prostate with red-tinged urine in the bag - Red-tinged urine may indicate bleeding, a potential complication after a transurethral resection of the prostate, requiring prompt assessment and intervention.

D. A client who has chronic kidney disease with cloudy dialysate outflow - While cloudy dialysate outflow may indicate infection or other complications in a client with chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis, it is not as urgent as assessing for bleeding in the client with red- tinged urine.

A. "Rub your child's gums with an aspirin tablet before bedtime." - Aspirin is not recommended for children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal condition.

B. "Place an amber teething necklace on your child before bedtime." - Amber teething necklaces pose a choking hazard and are not recommended for infants.

C. "Administer acetaminophen drops to your child before bedtime." - Acetaminophen is a safe and effective pain reliever for infants and can help alleviate discomfort associated with teething, which may improve sleep.

D. "Apply a teething product containing benzocaine to your child's gums before bedtime." -

Benzocaine-containing products are not recommended for infants due to the risk of methemoglobinemia, a potentially life-threatening condition.
