Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Excessive pulmonary secretions can be a sign of airway irritation or infection rather than a direct adverse effect of oxygen therapy. It may warrant further assessment and intervention, but it is not typically attributed to oxygen therapy itself.
B. Dryness and cracking of oral mucous membranes can occur as a result of oxygen therapy. Oxygen delivered at higher concentrations or for prolonged periods can dry out mucous membranes, leading to discomfort and potential cracking.
C. Tachycardia (an elevated heart rate) can occur as a compensatory response to hypoxia or increased metabolic demands rather than as a direct adverse effect of oxygen therapy. However, if oxygen therapy leads to an overcorrection of hypoxemia, it could potentially contribute to changes in heart rate.
D. Poor skin turgor is typically a sign of dehydration or fluid imbalance, not directly related to oxygen therapy. It may be important to assess fluid status in clients receiving oxygen therapy, but poor skin turgor itself is not an adverse effect of oxygen administration.

A. Baked potato with sour cream B. Fruit salad and carrot sticks C. Bagel with cream cheese D. Peanut butter and jelly with enriched bread

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Sour cream is a dairy product, providing protein. This option provides protein from the sour cream, which is suitable for a vegetarian who consumes dairy products.
B. Fruits and vegetables generally do not provide significant protein. While fruits and vegetables are nutritious, they do not provide sufficient protein for a meal, especially for someone who is vegetarian and needs adequate protein sources.
C. Cream cheese is a dairy product that provides protein. This option also provides protein from the cream cheese, which is suitable for a vegetarian who consumes dairy products.
D. Peanut butter is a plant-based protein source and enriched bread provides carbohydrates. Peanut butter is a good source of protein for vegetarians and is a suitable option for the adolescent client who does not like beans.
