“I can use holistic approaches like meditation to help my symptoms.”.

“I am at high risk for post-traumatic stress disorder because I have acute stress disorder.”.

“I can learn to manage my thoughts better through therapy.”.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,C

Choice A rationale

The statement “This diagnosis means that I am crazy” requires follow-up teaching by the nurse. Mental health conditions do not equate to being “crazy”. It’s important to educate the client about the nature of their diagnosis and dispel any misconceptions.

Choice B rationale

The statement “Many people have the same response to a stressful situation as I am having right now” does not require follow-up teaching. It shows that the client understands that their reaction to stress is not uncommon.

Choice C rationale

The statement “I will probably need to be on medication for the rest of my life” requires follow-up teaching. While some conditions do require long-term medication, it’s not a certainty for all conditions. The duration of treatment can vary based on the individual’s response and the nature of their condition.

Choice D rationale

The statement “I can use holistic approaches like meditation to help my symptoms” does not require follow-up teaching. It shows that the client is open to using non-pharmacological methods to manage their symptoms, which can be a beneficial part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Choice E rationale

The statement “I am at high risk for post-traumatic stress disorder because I have acute stress disorder” does not require follow-up teaching. It’s accurate that individuals with acute stress disorder are at a higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder.

Choice F rationale

The statement “I can learn to manage my thoughts better through therapy” does not require follow-up teaching. It shows that the client understands the benefits of therapy in managing their condition.

Explanation

Based on the client’s history and physical, the following areas increase the risk for postpartum hemorrhage:

Gravida 5 Para 5 (G5P5): Multiparity (having given birth 5 times) can increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony (lack of muscle tone) resulting from repeated stretching of the uterus.
Delivery of a 9 lb 1 oz (4.1 kg) baby: Macrosomia (large baby) can overstretch the uterus, increasing the risk of uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage.
Labor for 25 hours and use of forceps for delivery: Prolonged labor and instrumental delivery can lead to uterine fatigue and atony, increasing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
4th degree laceration: Severe lacerations can lead to significant blood loss.
Estimated blood loss was 600 mL after delivery: This is a significant amount of blood loss and could indicate a risk for further hemorrhage.
Lochia rubra moderate with small clots: This could indicate ongoing blood loss.

A. “I never use the inhaler unless I am really short of breath.”. B. “I have a hard time inhaling and holding my breath after I squeeze the inhaler, but I do my best.”. C. “After I squeeze the inhaler and swallow, I always feel a slight wave of nausea, but it goes away.”. D. “I always shake the inhaler several times before I start.”.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Using the inhaler only when the patient is really short of breath is not an incorrect use of the inhaler. However, it might indicate that the patient is not managing their COPD effectively, as rescue inhalers like albuterol are meant to be used for quick relief of acute symptoms.

Choice B rationale

Having a hard time inhaling and holding the breath after squeezing the inhaler might suggest that the patient is not using the inhaler correctly. However, the patient’s statement that they “do their best” suggests that they are aware of the correct technique and are trying to follow it.

Choice C rationale

Swallowing after squeezing the inhaler is a clear indication of incorrect use. The medication from the inhaler is meant to be inhaled into the lungs, not swallowed. Swallowing the medication would lead to less of it reaching the lungs, reducing its effectiveness. The wave of nausea the patient experiences could be a side effect of swallowing the medication.

Choice D rationale

Shaking the inhaler several times before starting is actually part of the correct technique for using many types of inhalers.
