A nurse is instructing a group of adult clients about nutrition. The nurse should include which of the following as the recommended amount of vegetables servings per day?

A. H2RAs are not typically associated with causing or alleviating diarrhea. Their primary function is to reduce gastric acid secretion, which is not directly related to diarrhea. Therefore, cessation of diarrhea is not an indicator of the therapeutic effect of an H2RA.
B. Heartburn is a common symptom associated with excess stomach acid, often due to conditions like GERD. H2RAs work by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps relieve heartburn. Therefore, relief of heartburn is a direct indication that the H2RA is achieving its therapeutic effect.
C. Constipation is not a common effect of H2RAs; instead, it is often more related to other types of medications or dietary issues. Since H2RAs are designed to reduce stomach acid and not to affect bowel movements, the absence of constipation is not a relevant outcome for assessing the effectiveness of an H2RA.
D. Flatus, or gas, is not directly affected by H2RAs. The primary purpose of H2RAs is to manage acid- related conditions, and while gastrointestinal symptoms might be related, passage of flatus is not a specific indicator of the effectiveness of an H2RA.

A. Keeping spare crutch tips handy is a proactive approach to ensure that if the current tips become worn out or damaged, they can be replaced promptly. This helps maintain stability and prevent accidents.
B. Proper use of crutches involves bearing weight on the hands and not on the armpits. If a client bears weight on the armpits, it can lead to nerve damage and discomfort. The correct technique is to distribute weight through the hands and wrists while using the crutches for support, not directly on the armpits.
C. Regular inspection of crutches for signs of wear is important for safety. Checking for issues like worn tips, loose fittings, or damaged parts helps prevent accidents and ensures that the crutches are functioning properly.
D. This statement indicates a need for further teaching. Using crutches that are not specifically fitted for the client can lead to improper use and potential injury. Crutches should be properly adjusted to the user's height and needs. If the crutches from another person are not correctly sized or adjusted, they may not provide adequate support or safety.
