A nurse is reviewing the peak flow measurement with a client diagnosed with asthma. The nurse explains that the ideal peak flow value is determined by: A) The client's weight and age B) The client's height and age, and the severity of the disease C) The client's current symptoms and medication use D) The average of three measurements when the client is symptomatic

Answer: B) The client's height and age, and the severity of the disease Rationale:The ideal peak flow value is based on the client's height and age, and is also influenced by the severity of the disease. The peak flow is typically measured when the client is asymptomatic, and the average of three measurements is used to determine the client's peak flow baseline.

A nurse is working with a client who has a chronic condition. The nurse is focusing on building a trusting, collaborative relationship with the client to enhance self-management. Which of the following statements best reflects the impact of this type of relationship on the client's care plan? A) The nurse should avoid using support services to ensure the client develops independence. B) Mutual problem-solving in a trusting relationship decreases the need for clinic visits and support services. C) The client's self-efficacy is enhanced because they feel confident in managing their condition with the nurse's support. D) A trusting relationship between the client and nurse increases the client's dependence on healthcare services.

Answer: C) The client's self-efficacy is enhanced because they feel confident in managing their condition with the nurse's support. Rationale: A trusting relationship between the client and provider optimizes self-management outcomes by increasing the client's confidence in their ability to manage their condition (self-efficacy). Mutual problem-solving and collaboration do not eliminate the need for support services or clinic visits, but they help the client feel empowered in their own care. This builds trust and a positive foundation for effective health management.

A nurse is planning to offer cooking classes to a group of clients with chronic illnesses. Which of the following is the best reason to include cooking classes in the client education plan? a) Cooking classes allow clients to memorize recipes for meal planning. b) Cooking classes actively engage clients in learning to manage their diets. c) Cooking classes focus on calorie counting and portion control. d) Cooking classes are a fun way to encourage clients to follow strict diet plans.

Answer: c) Sedentary lifestyle and poor blood glucose control Rationale: A sedentary lifestyle combined with poor blood glucose control significantly increases the risk of both microvascular and macrovascular complications in diabetes.

Which of the following is a macrovascular complication of diabetes mellitus? a) Neuropathy b) Diabetic nephropathy c) Stroke d) Retinopathy

Answer: c) Stroke Rationale: Macrovascular complications of diabetes include larger blood vessels, and conditions such as stroke, heart disease, and peripheral artery disease are more common in individuals with diabetes.

A nurse is teaching a newly diagnosed diabetic patient about the risks of uncontrolled blood glucose levels. Which of the following statements by the patient indicates that they need further education? a) "I understand that uncontrolled blood sugar can lead to heart disease and stroke." b) "I am aware that diabetes can increase the risk of kidney failure." c) "I need to be careful because my blood sugar is high, it can affect my vision." d) "I can eat anything as long as I take insulin regularly."

Answer: d) "I can eat anything as long as I take insulin regularly." Rationale: Diabetes management involves not only insulin but also careful monitoring of diet, exercise, and blood glucose levels. Insulin alone cannot compensate for poor dietary choices.

Which of the following diet choices is most appropriate for a patient with diabetes who is focusing on maintaining glycemic control? A) Eating small, frequent meals rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber. B) Choosing high-fat foods to delay glucose absorption. C) Eating one large meal in the evening to prevent overnight hypoglycemia .D) Avoiding all carbohydrates to keep blood sugar levels stable.

Answer:A) Eating small, frequent meals rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber. Rationale: Complex carbs and fiber help maintain stable blood sugar and prevent spikes. High-fat foods, one large meal, or avoiding all carbs are not recommended strategies for glycemic control.

A patient with asthma presents to the emergency department with complaints of wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Which of the following pathophysiological processes is primarily responsible for the patient's symptoms? A) Inflammation of the air passages in the lungs causing narrowing of the airways B) Bronchodilation leading to reduced airflow C) Overproduction of mucus leading to airway obstruction D) Decreased sensitivity of the nerve endings in the lungs

Answer:A) Inflammation of the air passages in the lungs causing narrowing of the airways Rationale:Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the air passages, which causes the airways to narrow, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. The inflammation increases sensitivity in the nerve endings of the airways, making them more reactive to various triggers.

A patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus has a Hemoglobin A1C level of 9.2%. Which of the following statements indicates that the patient needs further education? A) "I should aim to get my A1C level below 7%." B) "A Hemoglobin A1C of 9.2% shows good control of my blood sugar." C) "Monitoring my blood glucose daily is essential to manage my diabetes." D) "Reducing my A1C will help lower my risk of complications."

Answer:B) "A Hemoglobin A1C of 9.2% shows good control of my blood sugar." Rationale: A1C levels above 7% indicate poor glycemic control, and ideally, patients should aim for below 7% to reduce the risk of complications

A nurse is educating a patient on how to properly administer insulin. Which statement made by the patient indicates a need for further teaching? A) "I will rotate injection sites to avoid scar tissue buildup." B) "I can inject insulin into my thigh right before exercising." C) "I should store my insulin in the refrigerator until I'm ready to use it." D) "If I see particles in the insulin vial, I should not use it."

Answer:B) "I can inject insulin into my thigh right before exercising." Rationale: Injecting insulin into a muscle that will be used during exercise can increase the absorption rate, which may lead to hypoglycemia. It's safer to avoid injecting in areas that will be immediately active.

A nurse is educating a patient with diabetes on foot care. Which statement by the patient indicates a correct understanding? A) "I should soak my feet in warm water every night." B) "I will check my feet daily for any cuts or sores." C) "I can go barefoot at home as long as I'm careful." D) "If I find a callus, I will trim it myself."

Answer:B) "I will check my feet daily for any cuts or sores." Rationale: Daily inspection is critical to catch and treat any wounds early. Soaking can dry out the skin, going barefoot is unsafe due to risk of injury, and trimming calluses at home may cause skin breaks.

A nurse is teaching the parents of a 6-year-old child with asthma how to use a peak flow meter. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates a need for further teaching? A) "I should have my child take three deep breaths and then blow out as hard as they can into the peak flow meter." B) "We should use the low-range peak flow meter because my child is 6 years old." C) "I should measure the peak flow when my child is not having any asthma symptoms." D) "The doctor will determine the ideal peak flow based on my child's height, age, and disease severity."

Answer:B) "We should use the low-range peak flow meter because my child is 6 years old." Rationale:The correct answer is B because a 6-year-old child would typically require a low-range peak flow meter, which is used for smaller children (usually >5 years old). However, 6-year-olds generally fall into the category for a standard-range peak flow meter, which is typically used for children older than 5, teenagers, and adults.

For a patient with type 2 diabetes, what weight management advice is appropriate to promote glycemic control? A) Weight loss is only beneficial if the patient reaches an ideal body weight. B) Losing 5-10% of body weight can improve blood glucose levels. C) Weight management has little impact on diabetes complications. D) Fasting is the best way to promote weight loss for patients with diabetes.

Answer:B) Losing 5-10% of body weight can improve blood glucose levels. Rationale: Even modest weight loss can help improve blood glucose levels and reduce complications. Reaching an ideal weight isn't necessary to see benefits, and fasting is not recommended for people with diabetes due to risks of hypoglycemia.

A patient with asthma is learning self-management techniques. Which of the following actions should the nurse encourage the patient to take? A. Increase fluid intake only during asthma attacks. B. Always carry a rescue inhaler when leaving home. C. Limit exercise to prevent asthma exacerbations. D. Discontinue medications as soon as asthma symptoms improve.

A nurse is teaching a patient with asthma how to follow their asthma action plan. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the plan for a patient experiencing an asthma exacerbation? A. Continue using only the maintenance inhaler. B. Call the healthcare provider if symptoms do not improve after using the rescue inhaler. C. Stop using the rescue inhaler if symptoms improve after one dose. D. Increase the dose of the maintenance inhaler for immediate relief.

Answer:B. Call the healthcare provider if symptoms do not improve after using the rescue inhaler. If symptoms do not improve after using a rescue inhaler, the patient should seek medical help immediately to avoid complications.

A nurse is teaching a patient with asthma how to recognize and avoid common asthma triggers. Which of the following should the nurse include as an asthma trigger? A. A regular exercise routine B. Exposure to pet dander C. Taking prescribed medications regularly D. Breathing through the nose during exercise

Answer:B. Exposure to pet dander Exposure to pet dander is a known trigger for asthma. It is important for the patient to identify and avoid such triggers.

A patient with asthma is prescribed prednisolone (a corticosteroid) for long-term management. The nurse explains the potential side effects of this medication. Which of the following should the nurse include as a common side effect of steroids? A. Decreased appetite B. Increased risk of infection C. Increased urine output D. Low blood pressure

Answer:B. Increased risk of infection Steroids, such as prednisolone, suppress the immune system, increasing the risk of infection.

A nurse is discussing self-management with a client who is diagnosed with diabetes. The nurse emphasizes the importance of developing a trusting relationship to optimize the client's self-management outcomes. Which of the following is the most accurate rationale for this approach? A. The client will feel less pressure to attend regular clinic visits. B. Mutual problem-solving in the relationship helps the client develop greater self-efficacy in managing their condition. C. The provider will be able to decrease the use of support services needed by the client. D. Trust in the relationship will allow the provider to blame the client less for poor health outcomes.

Answer:B. Mutual problem-solving in the relationship helps the client develop greater self-efficacy in managing their condition. Rationale:A trusting client-provider relationship enhances self-management outcomes by building self-efficacy. In this relationship, mutual problem-solving is encouraged, and the client feels confident in their ability to manage their condition. This does not decrease the need for support services or reduce clinic visits, but rather empowers the client to take control of their health.

What should a patient with diabetes do before starting an exercise routine? A) Skip their meal before exercising to avoid hypoglycemia. B) Check their blood sugar and make sure it is above 250 mg/dL before starting. C) Eat a small carbohydrate snack if their blood sugar is below 100 mg/dL. D) Exercise immediately after taking insulin for best absorption.

Answer:C) Eat a small carbohydrate snack if their blood sugar is below 100 mg/dL. Rationale: Exercise can lower blood sugar levels, so a small snack may be necessary to prevent hypoglycemia. Blood sugar levels above 250 mg/dL indicate a risk for hyperglycemia during exercise, and exercising right after insulin can increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

A patient with asthma has been prescribed both a maintenance metered-dose inhaler (MDI) and a rescue MDI. The nurse explains the proper use of these inhalers. Which statement by the patient indicates the need for further teaching? A. "I will use my maintenance inhaler daily even when I feel fine." B. "I will use the rescue inhaler before exercise if I feel short of breath." C. "I can use the maintenance inhaler to relieve sudden asthma symptoms." D. "I should wait 1 minute between puffs when using the same inhaler."

Answer:C. "I can use the maintenance inhaler to relieve sudden asthma symptoms."The maintenance inhaler is used daily to prevent symptoms, while the rescue inhaler is used for immediate relief of sudden symptoms.

A client with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) tells the nurse that symptoms continue even after taking the prescribed medication. The nurse reviews the client's diet history and finds that orange juice and red sauce remain in the diet. The nurse recognizes that the client cannot self-manage because of which reason? A.Lacks initiative to self-manage B.Does not have a good understanding of the chronic disease C.Chooses non-adherent behaviors D.Poor financial resources

B. The GERD diet requires reduction in fried, fatty, and acidic foods. The client has not provided information that lead to an assessment of lack of self-efficacy, purposeful non-adherent behaviors or health care disparities. The client is seeking assistance to abate symptoms, therefore, exhibits motivation. In order to self-manage, the client must have good knowledge of the chronic illness and treatment plan. A client and nurse may develop a plan that is mutually acceptable where the client can optimally self-manage. If they do Concordance is present. Concordance is development of an alliance with patients based on realistic expectations.

C

What is asthma ?

Constricting of the airway due to inflammation and muscular contraction of the bronchioles. Also called Reactive Airway Disease

A nurse is reviewing the asthma action plan with a patient. The patient's peak flow meter reading is in the green zone. Which statement by the patient indicates a need for further teaching? A) "I will continue taking my usual medications." B) "I need to check my peak flow once a day when I feel well." C) "I should call my healthcare provider if I enter the yellow zone." D) "I should make an appointment to review my peak flow results with my doctor every few months."

Correct Answer: B Rationale: Peak flow should be checked regularly, even when the patient feels well, to ensure early detection of any changes in asthma control. The correct approach is to check it daily, not just when feeling symptomatic.

A nurse is teaching a client with asthma how to use a peak flow meter. Which of the following is the most important instruction to provide regarding the color zones? A) "When you are in the yellow zone, you need to seek immediate medical attention." B) "The green zone means your asthma is well controlled, and no action is needed." C) "The red zone means you can continue taking your usual medications as prescribed." D) "The yellow zone indicates that your peak flow is at the highest level of control."

Correct Answer: B Rationale: The color zones are used to assess asthma control. The green zone (80-100% of personal best) indicates good control and no action is necessary. The yellow zone (50-79% of personal best) signals a need for additional treatment, and the red zone (<50% of personal best) indicates a medical emergency.

A client with asthma is using a peak flow meter at home. After measuring their peak flow, they find their result falls within the yellow zone. What should the nurse instruct the client to do next? A) Continue with normal activities and monitor symptoms. B) Take their rescue inhaler as prescribed and recheck the peak flow in 20 minutes. C) Increase the dose of their controller medication immediately. D) Go to the nearest emergency department for treatment.

Correct Answer: B Rationale: The yellow zone indicates that the asthma is not well controlled, and the client should take a rescue inhaler (such as albuterol) as prescribed. After using the inhaler, they should recheck their peak flow in 20 minutes to assess if the symptoms improve.
