A diabetic client presents to the acute care facility for the amputation of two gangrenous digits on her left foot.
Which type of perfusion issue has caused this condition?

Arterial insufficiency.

Stasis.

Venous insufficiency.

Varicose veins.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

This means that the blood flow to the affected area is reduced due to narrowed or blocked arteries. This can cause tissue death or gangrene. Diabetes can

damage the blood vessels and affect blood flow, increasing the risk of gangrene. Choice B. Stasis is wrong because it refers to a condition where blood pools in the veins of the legs, causing swelling and skin changes. It does not cause gangrene by itself.

Choice C. Venous insufficiency is wrong because it refers to a condition where the veins in the legs have problems sending blood back to the heart, causing swelling and skin ulcers. It does not cause gangrene by itself.

Choice D. Varicose veins are wrong because they are enlarged veins that may cause pain or discomfort, but do not cause gangrene by themselves.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Urinary catheterization is a common cause of health care-associated infections (HAIs), which are infections that patients get while receiving medical treatment in a health care facility. Urinary catheterization involves inserting a tube into the bladder to drain urine, which can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract and cause infections.

Choice B is wrong because malnutrition is not a direct cause of HAIs, although it can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of infections.

Choice C is wrong because multiple caregivers are not a direct cause of HAIs, although they can increase the exposure to different pathogens and cross contamination if they do not follow proper hygiene and infection control practices.

Choice D is wrong because chlorhexidine washes are not a cause of HAIs, but rather a preventive measure to reduce the risk of HAIs by disinfecting the skin and mucous membranes.

A. Review all ordered treatments in relation to the client’s culture. B. Listen to the client’s perceptions. C. Explain the purpose of the treatments, without regard to the client’s culture. D. Acknowledge that the client will have to adapt their perceptions to the dominant culture.

Correct Answer is ["A","B"]

Explanation

A cultural assessment is a systematic way to identify the beliefs, values, meanings, and behaviours of people while considering their history, life experiences, and social and physical environments. A nurse should include reviewing all ordered treatments in relation to the client’s culture and listening to the client’s perceptions as part of a cultural assessment.

These actions show respect for the client’s preferences and facilitate communication and understanding.

Choice C is wrong because explaining the purpose of the treatments without regard to the client’s culture may be insensitive or inappropriate for some clients who have different beliefs or practices about health and illness. Choice D is wrong because acknowledging that the client will have to adapt their perceptions to the dominant culture may be disrespectful or oppressive for some clients who value their cultural identity and diversity.
