Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: High-fat diet, smoking, alcohol consumption. These are modifiable risk factors for colorectal cancer as individuals can make lifestyle changes to reduce their risk. Age and gender (choice A) are non-modifiable risk factors. Ethnicity and race (choice C) can influence the risk of colorectal cancer but are not modifiable factors. Exposure to radiation (choice D) is not a common modifiable risk factor for colorectal cancer.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is to apply a moisture-retentive dressing. This promotes a moist wound environment, which is crucial for wound healing in clients with diabetes. Encouraging a high-protein diet may support overall health but is not directly related to wound healing. Daily wound irrigation can disrupt the wound healing process by removing necessary growth factors and cells. Applying an ice pack to the wound is contraindicated as it can impair circulation and delay wound healing.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Peer pressure can lead to risky behaviors.' Adolescents are at an increased risk for injury due to peer pressure and the tendency to engage in high-risk behaviors. Emphasizing the impact of peer pressure on decision-making can help adolescents make safer choices. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because adolescents actually have an increased risk of injury, increased responsibility does not always reduce risks, and many adolescents are at risk of engaging in substance abuse.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Inspecting feet daily for injuries is crucial for clients with diabetes to prevent unnoticed wounds from becoming infected. This instruction is the most important as it helps in early detection and management of foot problems. Choice A is incorrect because applying lotion between the toes can lead to excessive moisture, increasing the risk of fungal infections. Choice C is wrong as wearing shoes indoors can also lead to foot issues. Choice D is incorrect because cutting toenails in a rounded shape can result in ingrown toenails, posing a risk for infection.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is to discontinue the infusion (Choice B) as the signs described suggest phlebitis, an inflammation of the vein. Increasing the IV flow rate (Choice A) can exacerbate the condition by increasing the irritation. Elevating the limb (Choice C) and applying a cold compress (Choice D) are not the appropriate interventions for phlebitis. Elevation and cold therapy are more suitable for conditions like swelling or inflammation, but in this case, discontinuing the infusion is the priority to prevent further complications.
