pg. 1
,C. "I will limit my intake of beef to 4 ounces per week."
D. "My blood level of low density lipoproteins needs to increase."
C. "I will limit my intake of beef to 4 ounces per week."

cholesterol, but should be restricted to lean cuts of red meat and smaller portions
(2-ounce servings). The low density lipoproteins need to decrease rather than
increase.

B. Wearing a mask while cleaning will not help to avoid allergens.
C. Purchase any type of clothing, but be sure it is washed before wearing it.
D. Pollen count is related to hay fever, not to allergens.
A. Avoid any types of sprays, powders, and perfumes.
The client with allergies should be instructed to reduce any exposure to pollen,
dust, fumes, odors, sprays, powders, and perfumes. The client should be
encouraged to wear a mask when working around dust or pollen. Clients with
allergies should avoid any clothing that causes itching; washing clothes will not
prevent an allergic reaction to some fabrics. Pollen count is related to allergens,
and the client should be instructed to stay indoors when the pollen count is high.

beliefs about transfusions.

C. demonstrates the wound care procedure correctly.
A return demonstration of a procedure (C) provides an objective assessment of the
client's ability to perform a task, while (A and B) are subjective measures. (D) is
important, but is less of a priority prior to discharge than the nurse's assessment of
the client's ability to complete the wound care.

position prior to administering a soap suds enema. Which instruction should
the nurse provide the UAP?

D. Raise the side rails on both sides of the bed and elevate the bed to waist level.
C. Reposition in a Sim's position with the client's weight on the anterior ilium.
The left sided Sims' position allows the enema solution to follow the anatomical
course of the intestines and allows the best overall results, so the UAP should
reposition the client in the Sims' position, which distributes the client's weight to
the anterior ilium (C). (A) is inaccurate. (B and D) should be implemented once
the client is positioned.
