1. using open-ended questions

2. using their first name to address them

3. using pronouns associated with birth sex

4. anticipating the client's needs and making suggestions 1. Using open-ended questions

4. complaints of pain associated with numbness and tingling in both feet 4. complaints of pain
associated with numbness and tingling in both feet



Rationale: With this population, the complaints of pain associated with numbness and tingling

provide follow-up care. While the bp, blood glucose, and vision are concerning, the client's stated
concern should be addressed first.



The nurse is preparing discharge resources for a client being discharged to the homeless shelter.

for follow-up if which medication was prescribed?

2. Lisinopril

4. Beclomethasone 1. Glipizide



Rationale: Glipizide is an oral hypoglycemic medication and is classified as a sulfonylurea. A major
side effect of this medication is hypoglycemia, which is a safety risk to the homeless population.
Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. Although there are side effects that should
be included in discharge instructions, there is less of a threat to safety with this medication and the
benefits to it are important. Metformin is an oral biguanide and is used for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Hypoglycemia is less of a concern with this medication compared with other oral hypoglycemics.
Beclomethasone is an inhaled corticosteroid used for obstructive lung disease, and although there
are side effects the client should know about, there is not a particular safety risk associated with this
medication for the homeless person.

3. "living in a prison can predispose a person to different health conditions"

4. "living in a prison is similar to living in a condominium complex or dorm" 3. "living in a prison
can predispose a person to different health conditions"



Rationale: the environment of a prison can predispose a person to different health conditions.
Option 1 does not address the client's question and options 2 and 4 convey incorrect information.
