Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is {"A":{"answers":"B"},"B":{"answers":"A"},"C":{"answers":"A"},"D":{"answers":"A"},"E":{"answers":"A"}}

Choice A reason: False: Hand washing should be performed not only when exiting the client's room but also before entering the room and after any direct contact with the client or potentially contaminated surfaces within the room.

Choice B reason: True : The client has been diagnosed with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), which is a highly contagious virus. It can spread through droplets in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or by touching a surface that has the virus on it. Therefore, contact and droplet precautions are necessary.

Choice C reason: True: Gowns and gloves should be worn whenever there is a potential for contact with secretions, especially when dealing with a patient who has a contagious condition like RSV. This is part of standard precautions to prevent the spread of infection.

Choice D reason: True: A mask should always be worn when in the client's room because RSV can be spread through droplets in the air. This is part of droplet precautions.

Choice E reason: True: This client would require a private room if admitted because RSV is highly contagious. Isolation in a private room is one of the strategies used to prevent the spread of the virus.

Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]

Explanation

The correct answer isChoice A, Choice C, and Choice D.

Choice A rationale:A shuffling gait can indicate mobility issues, making it difficult for the client to safely perform foot care and toenail clipping. This increases the risk of falls and injuries.

Choice B rationale:Urinary incontinence does not directly affect the ability to perform foot care or toenail clipping. It is more related to bladder control issues.

Choice C rationale:Syncope when bending suggests that the client may experience dizziness or fainting when bending over, making it unsafe for them to perform foot care and toenail clipping.

Choice D rationale:Hand tremors can make it challenging for the client to handle nail clippers or other tools needed for foot care, increasing the risk of injury.

A. Serum potassium: 3.5 mEq/L (3.5 mmol/L), serum sodium: 142 mEq/L (142 mmol/L) B. Serum potassium: 4.5 mEq/L (4.5 mmol/L), serum sodium: 140 mEq/L (140 mmol/L) C. Serum potassium: 5.0 mEq/L (5.0 mmol/L), serum sodium: 138 mEq/L (138 mmol/L) D. Serum potassium: 3.0 mEq/L (3.0 mmol/L), serum sodium: 149 mEq/L (149 mmol/L)

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A reason: The results are within the normal reference range for both potassium and sodium, which is expected unless the client's condition has led to significant electrolyte imbalances.

Choice B reason: A serum potassium level of 4.5 mEq/L is at the higher end of the normal range, which might not be expected in a client with vomiting and diarrhea, conditions that often lead to lower potassium levels.

Choice C reason: A serum potassium level of 5.0 mEq/L is at the upper limit of the normal range and could indicate hyperkalemia, especially in the context of severe dehydration.

Choice D reason: A serum sodium level of 149 mEq/L is slightly above the normal range and could indicate hypernatremia, which may occur in dehydration but would require further assessment and intervention.
