NURSING 10 3 FINAL EXAM WITH CORRECT QUESTION AND ANSWERS An older patie nt is being taught about oral gingivitis. The nurse has included instruction about maintaining an oral hygiene program, signs and symptoms of oral infection, and the importance of maintaining regular professional dental care. What other important teaching topic should be included? D. The importance of adequate nutrition for maintaining oral health Nursing management of an older patient with gingivitis or periodontitis includes promotion of regular oral hygiene, regular preventive dental care, and maintenance of nutritional status. In addition, instructing the patient on the signs and symptoms of oral infections is also an important component of patient education. The other topics are not warranted. The nurse is planning to teach a n older patient about diverticulitis. What topic does the nurse include? A. Dietary fiber and fluids will reduce the symptoms. Teaching should include the need to eat high -fiber foods and the importance of achieving and maintaining adequate fluid status. Patients should be encouraged to consume up to 2,000 mL of fluids each day, unless contraindicated by cardiac status. Older people have diverticulitis commonly. Abdominal cramping and diarrhea are expected findings. Diverticulitis usually reoccurs. An older adult rep orts chronic constipation. When asked why this problem has gotten worse with age, what response by the nurse is best? A. "As we age, our bodies require more fiber to bring about healthy bowel function." An 80 -year-old patient has nausea and vomiting related to a gastrointestinal disorder. Which of the following nursing interventions is most appropriate? A. Offer sips of clear soda every 15 minutes until more is tolerated. Nursing interventions for nausea and vomiting include many self -help measures, including drinking clear liquids, progressing from eating bland foods to solid foods, and small frequent feedings. If vomiting occurs, fluid replacement should be a priority. Sip s of fluids every 15 minutes until more can be tolerated may decrease episodes of dehydration. The position of the patient is unimportant. The patient should avoid nonclear liquids such as milkshakes. If the patient cannot keep even sips down, he or she ma y be prescribed NPO status. When preparing to discharge an older patient with mild dysphagia, the nurse suggests that the patient can minimize symptoms by doing which of the following? A. Eating small meals every 2 to 3 hours Instruction regarding eating habits and maintaining weight and nutrition is important. For examp le, small, frequent meals, pureed or soft foods, and high-protein, high -calorie foods are helpful. Thin liquids are often harder to swallow than thickened ones. Nutrient -dense foods are important, but so is maintaining calorie requirements. The most widespread cause of constipation in older adults is diet. Diets need to be high in fiber and include plenty of water unless contraindicated by another condition. Some changes in nerve function and gastric motility are also possible causes, but the major cause is diet. Laxatives should only be used as a last resort. An older adult patient reports episodes of fecal incontinence. What response by the nurse provides appropriate emotional support? - D. "The problem generally responds well to bowel control programs." It is important to reassure older patients that control and retraining are achievable because many older adults are distressed about its occurrence. The nurse should first focus on reassuring the patient and providing education on bowel retraining. Disposable garments may be used temporarily or long term if the patient cannot complete bowel retraining. It is not a normal response to aging. An older adult had gastric resection surgery and now is experienc ing dizziness, nausea, and diaphoresis after meals. What instruction by the nurse caring is best? D. Drin k fluids only between meals. This patient has dumping syndrome. The institution of small, frequent meals that are low in carbohydrates will diminish the incidence of these symptoms. Resting after eating and drinking fluids between (rather than during) meals will also help alleviate th ese symptoms. Smoking and caffeine are not related, and eating only three meals a day is not warranted. A 68-year-old patient is reporting a gnawing epigastric pain. What question by the nurse would elicit the most useful information? B. "Do you have a family history of peptic ulcers?" Both geneti c and environmental factors have been proposed as the cause of peptic ulcers because both gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers tend to occur in families. At present, no direct evidence exists that indicates dietary or occupational factors as causes of ulcer disease. Acetaminophen and smoking generally do not cause peptic ulcers. An older patient has been admitted with severe nausea and vomiting. What assessment takes priority? C. Blood pressure and pulse D. Skin integri ty - C. Blood Pressure
