Review all ordered treatments in relation to the client’s culture.

Listen to the client’s perceptions.

Explain the purpose of the treatments, without regard to the client’s culture.

Acknowledge that the client will have to adapt their perceptions to the dominant culture.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B

A cultural assessment is a systematic way to identify the beliefs, values, meanings, and behaviours of people while considering their history, life experiences, and social and physical environments. A nurse should include reviewing all ordered treatments in relation to the client’s culture and listening to the client’s perceptions as part of a cultural assessment.

These actions show respect for the client’s preferences and facilitate communication and understanding.

Choice C is wrong because explaining the purpose of the treatments without regard to the client’s culture may be insensitive or inappropriate for some clients who have different beliefs or practices about health and illness. Choice D is wrong because acknowledging that the client will have to adapt their perceptions to the dominant culture may be disrespectful or oppressive for some clients who value their cultural identity and diversity.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Increasing regular weight-bearing activities can help prevent osteoporosis by stimulating bone formation and improving muscle strength. Weight-bearing activities are those that make your bones and muscles work against gravity, such as walking, jogging, dancing, or lifting weights.

Choice A is wrong because protecting the client’s bones with strict bedrest can actually increase the risk of osteoporosis by reducing bone density and muscle mass. Bedrest should be avoided unless medically necessary.

Choice B is wrong because providing the client with assisted range of motion exercises twice daily is not enough to prevent osteoporosis. While these exercises can help maintain joint mobility and flexibility, they are not weight bearing and do not stimulate bone formation.

Choice C is wrong because decreasing the amount of calcium in the client’s diet can also increase the risk of osteoporosis. Calcium is an essential mineral for bone health and adults need 700mg a day, which can be obtained from foods such as dairy products, leafy green vegetables, tofu, and dried fruit. Vitamin D is also important for bone health as it helps the body absorb calcium.

A. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. B. Malignant hypothermia. C. Thalassemia. D. Malignant hyperthermia.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Malignant hyperthermia is a severe reaction to certain drugs used for anesthesia that can cause muscle rigidity, fever, and a fast heart rate. It can be fatal if not treated promptly with medication, oxygen, body cooling, and supportive care. The patient’s symptoms match those of malignant hyperthermia.

Choice A is wrong because alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and liver, causing shortness of breath, wheezing, and jaundice.

It does not cause a rise in body temperature or muscle rigidity. Choice B is wrong because malignant hypothermia does not exist. It is a misspelling of malignant hyperthermia.

Choice C is wrong because thalassemia is a genetic disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin, causing anemia, fatigue, and bone deformities.

It does not cause a rise in body temperature or muscle rigidity.
