Select all that apply.

Contact children and youth services

Provide resources to the client for the local Alcoholics Anonymous chapter

Request a consult for case management

Maintain a safe and private environment for the client

Administer sexually transmitted infection prophylaxis

Provide resources for local support services

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : C,D,E,F

Case management can be beneficial in situations involving assault to help coordinate and provide ongoing support and resources for the client. This intervention is appropriate in this scenario.

Ensuring a safe and private environment is crucial to protect the client's confidentiality and provide a supportive atmosphere during this difficult time. This intervention is necessary. Since the client reports being assaulted and has sore genitals, it is important to consider the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Administering STI prophylaxis can help prevent potential infections.

The client may benefit from additional support services such as counseling or support groups. Providing resources for local support services can help the client access the necessary help and support they need.

Contacting children and youth services is not applicable in this scenario as the client is a full-time college student and not a child or youth.

While the client mentioned drinking, it is not explicitly stated that they have an alcohol addiction or problem. Therefore, providing resources for Alcoholics Anonymous may not be the most appropriate intervention at this time.

Correct Answer is ["C"]

Explanation

A.Coiling the tubing on the bed above the collection bag is incorrect because it can cause urine to flow back into the bladder, increasing the risk of infection and compromising the effectiveness of the drainage system. The tubing should be kept below the level of the bladder to ensure proper drainage.

B.Instructing the client to hold the drainage bag at waist height when ambulating is incorrect because the drainage bag should always be kept below the level of the bladder to prevent urine from flowing back into the bladder, which could lead to a urinary tract infection (UTI).

C.Securing the tubing with adhesive tape to the lower abdomen is correct because it helps prevent accidental pulling or tugging on the catheter, which could cause discomfort or dislodgement. Properly securing the tubing also helps maintain a continuous flow of urine and reduces the risk of infection.

D.Collecting a sterile specimen from the urinary drainage bag is incorrect because urine in the drainage bag is not considered sterile. If a sterile specimen is needed, it should be obtained by cleaning the catheter's sampling port with an antiseptic solution and withdrawing urine directly from the port using a sterile syringe.

A. Time B. Medication C. Dosage D. Route

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A.The prescription specifies “four times per day,” which is clear.

B.The medication specified is erythromycin, which is clear

C.The dosage of 500 mg is clearly specified.
