Adult Health Nursing First Chapter Quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Stressing to all participants attending a health fair that a screening program is not a substitute for ongoing health supervision from a healthcare provider is crucial for several reasons. Health fairs are intended to provide a snapshot of an individual's health at a specific point in time and are not comprehensive assessments. Participants need to understand that these screenings are not a replacement for regular check-ups with their healthcare provider, who can provide continued monitoring, follow-up care, and more in-depth evaluations if necessary. It's important for participants to recognize that the results from a health fair screening are just one piece of their overall health picture and that ongoing care from a healthcare provider is essential for maintaining their well-being.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Involution refers to the process of the uterus returning to its nonpregnant state after childbirth. During pregnancy, the uterus undergoes significant changes and enlarges to accommodate the growing fetus. After childbirth, the uterus begins to contract, leading to a decrease in its size and a return to its pre-pregnant state. This process involves the shedding of the excess endometrial tissue and the reduction of the size of the uterine muscle fibers. It is a normal and essential process for postpartum recovery. Failure of the uterus to undergo proper involution is known as subinvolution, which can lead to complications such as postpartum hemorrhage.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The laboratory test used to monitor the therapeutic effect of warfarin therapy is the International Normalized Ratio (INR). Warfarin is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant medication that works by inhibiting the action of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. Maintaining the INR within the target range specific to the indication for anticoagulation (e.g., DVT prevention or treatment) is essential to balance the risk of bleeding and clotting.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Placing the client in a left side-lying position after a liver biopsy helps to promote pressure on the puncture site, which can reduce the risk of bleeding. Placing a small pillow or folded towel under the puncture site provides additional support and helps to maintain pressure on the area. This position also helps prevent the client from putting pressure on the abdomen, which could potentially affect the biopsy site and increase the risk of bleeding or complications. Overall, positioning the client on the left side with support under the puncture site is the most appropriate and safest option after a liver biopsy.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A priority intervention for a client with multiple myeloma is to include coughing and deep breathing exercises in the plan of care. Multiple myeloma can affect the bone marrow's ability to produce healthy blood cells, including red blood cells, which can lead to anemia. Anemia can cause fatigue and shortness of breath. By encouraging coughing and deep breathing exercises, the nurse can help improve lung function, enhance oxygenation, and prevent potential respiratory complications in the client with multiple myeloma. This intervention is crucial in promoting respiratory health and overall well-being for the client.
