Choice B rationale: Mild emphysema is not typically a contraindication for sumatriptan.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale: A client with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may have gastroenteritis, food poisoning, or appendicitis, which are not directly related to the eyes.

Choice B rationale: A client with chest tightness and heartburn may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), angina, or myocardial infarction (MI), which are also not associated with the eyes.

Choice C rationale: A client with facial drooping and left-sided weakness may have a stroke, which is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. An eye examination can help detect signs of stroke, such as pupil asymmetry, visual field defects, or eye movement abnormalities. A stroke can cause permanent brain damage or death if not treated promptly.

Choice D rationale: A client with fatigue, fever, and productive cough may have a respiratory infection, such as pneumonia or tuberculosis, which are unlikely to affect the eyes unless there is a systemic complication.

A. Smokes 1 pack of cigarettes per day B. Drinks one alcoholic beverage per day C. Large body stature D. History of bone fracture during childhood

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Smoking is a risk factor for osteoporosis as it can interfere with calcium absorption and decrease bone density.

Choice B rationale: Moderate alcohol consumption isn't a significant risk factor for osteoporosis.

Choice C rationale: Generally, having a larger body stature is not considered a significant risk factor for osteoporosis.

Choice D rationale: While fractures during childhood can affect bone health, they might not necessarily predict osteoporosis risk in adulthood.
