Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,E,F

A. Exercise planning:

Exercise is a cornerstone of diabetes management and can help reduce cardiovascular risk factors.
Regular activity can improve cholesterol levels, particularly by increasing HDL (good cholesterol) and potentially lowering LDL (bad cholesterol).
It can also aid in weight management, which is particularly important for this client with a BMI of 28 kg/m^2.
B. Oral antidiabetic:
While oral antidiabetics are a common treatment, the client's laboratory results do not indicate a current diagnosis of diabetes, thus it may not be necessary at this stage.
C. Short acting insulin:
Short acting insulin is typically used for managing blood sugar levels in individuals with diagnosed diabetes, particularly type 1 or advanced type 2 diabetes.
There is no indication from the client's history or lab results that he requires insulin therapy at this time.
D. Extra carbohydrates:
Adding extra carbohydrates without monitoring blood glucose levels could be detrimental, especially in individuals at risk of developing diabetes.
Carbohydrates need to be carefully balanced in a diabetic diet, and the client has not been diagnosed with diabetes.
E. Nutrition education:
Education on nutrition can help the client make informed food choices to manage both blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
It can also provide guidance on portion control, which can contribute to weight management.

F. Weight reduction treatment:
Given the client's overweight status, a weight reduction plan could help lower the risk of developing diabetes.
Weight loss can also have a positive impact on cholesterol levels and overall metabolic health.
G Long acting insulin:
Long acting insulin is used to manage blood sugar levels throughout the day and is typically prescribed for individuals with diagnosed diabetes.
As with short acting insulin, there is no current indication for insulin therapy for this client.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Having the client breathe into a paper bag is a technique sometimes used for anxiety-induced hyperventilation but is not appropriate for a client with chronic obstructive lung disease
experiencing shortness of breath. It can lead to a buildup of carbon dioxide, worsening the client's condition.
B. Asking the client to take short, rapid breaths may exacerbate hyperventilation and increase the client's anxiety. This breathing pattern can lead to further respiratory distress in a client with
chronic obstructive lung disease.
C. Instructing the client in pursed lip breathing is the most appropriate action. Pursed lip breathing helps to prolong exhalation, reduce air trapping, and improve gas exchange in clients with chronic obstructive lung disease. It can help alleviate shortness of breath and promote
relaxation.
D. Increasing oxygen to three L/minute may not be necessary and could potentially lead to oxygen toxicity. The priority is to help the client manage their shortness of breath effectively through breathing techniques.

B. Using standard precautions and wearing a mask is essential when caring for a client with an open draining wound, especially when MRSA infection is suspected. This helps prevent the spread of infection to healthcare workers and other clients.
C. Sending wound drainage for culture and sensitivity is important to identify the causative organism and determine the most effective antibiotic therapy.
D. Monitoring the client's white blood cell count is important for assessing the client's response to treatment and detecting any signs of worsening infection.
E. Instituting contact precautions for staff and visitors is necessary to prevent the transmission of MRSA to others. This includes wearing gowns and gloves when entering the client's room and ensuring proper hand hygiene practices are followed.
