A client with a family history of cardiac disease is seeking information to control risk factors. Which lifestyle modification is most important for the nurse to encourage?

Stress reduction.

Smoking cessation.

Regular exercise.

Low-fat diet.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

B. Smoking is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, as it contributes to the narrowing and hardening of the arteries, increases blood pressure, reduces oxygen supply to tissues, and promotes the formation of blood clots.

A. Chronic stress can contribute to cardiovascular disease by raising blood pressure, increasing heart rate, and promoting inflammation.

C. Regular physical activity is crucial for cardiovascular health. It helps strengthen the heart muscle, lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, control weight, and reduce stress.

D. A low-fat diet, particularly one that is high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, can help lower cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, and manage weight, all of which are important for heart health.

Although A, C, D play a role in preventing cardiovascular disease, smoking is the major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Delayed or inability to void after catheter removal could indicate urinary retention, which may require further intervention such as bladder scanning, straight catheterization, or reinsertion of a urinary catheter.

B. This is important for assessing the timing of antibiotic therapy but may not be directly related to the client's ability to void after catheter removal.

C. Color of the urine during catheter removal may provide information about the client's urinary status, but it does not confirm whether the client was able to void effectively after catheter removal.

D. Intake and output reports for the previous shift is relevant for assessing fluid balance and urinary output trends but does not specifically address the client's ability to void after catheter removal.

A. 1.015. B. 1.025. C. 1.005. D. 1.035.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

D. Given the client's history of vomiting, diarrhea, and difficulty tolerating oral fluids, there's a likelihood of dehydration. Dehydration typically results in an increase in urine specific gravity due to the kidneys conserving water.

A. (1.015) and B (1.025) are within the reference range and would be more typical values for adequately hydrated individuals.

C. (1.005) is at the lower end of the reference range and would not be expected in a dehydrated individual.
