When evaluating a client for a tendency toward addictive behaviors, the nurse would expect which findings?

High self-esteem.

Antisocial personality traits.

Good communication skills.

Aggressive behaviors.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

According to the Addiction Nursing Competencies, antisocial personality traits are one of the risk factors for developing addictive behaviors.

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a disregard for the rights and feelings of others, impulsivity, deceitfulness, and lack of remorse.

Choice A is wrong because high self-esteem is not associated with addictive behaviors. On the contrary, low self-esteem, passivity, and inability to relax or defer gratification are some of the personality factors that can predispose a person to substance use disorders.

Choice C is wrong because good communication skills are not related to addictive

behaviors. In fact, poor communication skills, social isolation, and lack of support are some of the psychosocial factors that can contribute to substance use disorders.

Choice D is wrong because aggressive behaviors are not a specific indicator of addictive behaviors.

Aggression can be a result of various factors, such as frustration, anger, stress, or mental illness. Aggression can also be influenced by the type and amount of substance used.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Palms, soles and nails.

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that can develop in any color skin, including dark or black skin.

However, melanoma on dark skin is not related to sun exposure and can start in places that get little sun. That includes the palms of your hands, soles of your feet, nails, and inside your mouth, anal, and genital areas.

Choice A is wrong because eyes, ears, lips, and scalp are not common areas for melanoma in people of color.

Choice C is wrong because head, neck and trunk are more likely to be affected by sun exposure and other types of skin cancer than melanoma in people of color.

Choice D is wrong because lower legs and back are also more exposed to sun and other types of skin cancer than melanoma in people of color.

A. Wipe from the outer part of the eye toward the inner portion. B. Rinse the washcloth before washing the second eye. C. Ask the client to roll the eyes upward. D. Use a fresh washcloth when cleaning each eye.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Use a fresh washcloth when cleaning each eye. This is because using the same washcloth for both eyes can transfer microorganisms from one eye to the other and cause cross-infection.

The other choices are wrong because:

Choice A is wrong because wiping from the outer part of the eye toward the inner portion can introduce microorganisms into the tear ducts and cause infection.

Choice B is wrong because rinsing the washcloth before washing the second eye does not eliminate all the microorganisms that might be on the cloth.

Choice C is wrong because asking the client to roll the eyes upward does not prevent spreading organisms from one eye to the other when bathing a client.

Normal ranges for eye hygiene are to use a clean washcloth or cotton ball for each eye, wipe from the inner to the outer canthus, and use warm water or saline solution.
