Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Touching the dropper to the eye contaminates it and can lead to infection.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Risk for falls.' In clients with metastatic bone disease, weakened bones can lead to an increased risk of falls, making it a priority nursing diagnosis. Chronic pain (choice A) may be present but addressing the risk for falls is more critical in this situation. While impaired mobility (choice B) can be a consequence of metastatic bone disease, preventing falls takes precedence. Risk for infection (choice D) is not the priority in this case, as falls pose a more immediate threat to the client's safety.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Touching the dropper to the eye contaminates it and can lead to infection.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hallux valgus is commonly known as a bunion, which is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. A) Thoracic deformity is unrelated to hallux valgus. C) A corn is a thickened area of skin on the foot, not synonymous with hallux valgus. D) Metacarpal involvement refers to the hand, not the foot where hallux valgus occurs.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Rest, ice, compress, and elevate the ankle. After an ankle injury, it is essential to follow the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for immediate treatment. Resting the injured ankle helps prevent further damage, applying ice reduces swelling and pain, compression with a bandage provides support and helps control swelling, and elevating the ankle above heart level reduces swelling by allowing fluid to drain away from the injury site. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because heating, incubating, or confining the ankle can worsen the injury by increasing swelling and inflammation instead of reducing them.
