A client received chemotherapy 24 hours ago. Which precautions are necessary when caring for the client?

Wear sterile gloves.

Place incontinence pads in the regular trash container.

Wear personal protective equipment when handling blood, body fluids, and feces.

Provide a urinal or bedpan to decrease the likelihood of soiling linens.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Wear sterile gloves. Sterile gloves are typically required for invasive procedures, not general care after chemotherapy. The key concern here is exposure to chemotherapy agents in bodily fluids.

B. Place incontinence pads in the regular trash container. Incontinence pads and other items contaminated with bodily fluids should be disposed of in a hazardous waste container, not regular trash, to prevent exposure to chemotherapy agents.

C. Wear personal protective equipment when handling blood, body fluids, and feces. Chemotherapy agents can be excreted in bodily fluids, so wearing PPE is essential to protect the healthcare worker from exposure.

D. Provide a urinal or bedpan to decrease the likelihood of soiling linens. While providing a urinal or bedpan may be practical, it does not address the key concern of handling potentially contaminated bodily fluids safely.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Place the client on his back, remove dangerous objects, and insert a bite block. Placing a client on their back during a seizure increases the risk of airway obstruction, and inserting a bite block is not recommended as it can cause injury.

B. Place the client on his side, remove dangerous objects, and insert a bite block. While positioning the client on their side is correct, inserting a bite block is contraindicated due to the risk of injury to the client.

C. Place the client on his back, remove dangerous objects, and hold down his arms. Restraining a client during a seizure is not recommended as it can cause injury. Placing the client on their back also poses a risk of airway obstruction.

D. Place the client on his side, remove dangerous objects, and protect his head. Positioning the client on their side helps maintain airway patency, removing dangerous objects prevents injury, and protecting the head helps prevent head trauma during the seizure.

A. "Try to buy and consume as many organic and natural foods as you can." B. "Try to replace the complex carbohydrates in your diet with protein-rich foods." C. "Try to reduce the overall amount of fat that is in your diet." D. "If you eat four of five small meals each day, you'll find that you're able to reduce your calorie intake."

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. "Try to buy and consume as many organic and natural foods as you can." While organic and natural foods are generally healthy, this advice does not directly align with the DASH diet, which focuses more on nutrient balance and reduction of sodium, fats, and sugars.

B. "Try to replace the complex carbohydrates in your diet with protein-rich foods." The DASH diet emphasizes balanced intake of whole grains (complex carbohydrates), fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, rather than replacing complex carbohydrates.

C. "Try to reduce the overall amount of fat that is in your diet." This recommendation is consistent with the DASH diet, which advises reducing saturated fats and total fat to help manage blood pressure.

D. "If you eat four of five small meals each day, you'll find that you're able to reduce your calorie intake." Eating smaller, more frequent meals may help with calorie control, but this advice is more related to weight management than directly aligning with the DASH diet's focus on nutrient-rich, heart-healthy foods.
