A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a newly diagnosed latex allergy.
Which of the following foods should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?

Wheat.

Strawberries.

Peanuts.

Bananas.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

The nurse should instruct the client to avoid bananas because they are one of the foods that can cause a cross-reaction with latex allergy. This means that people who are allergic to latex may also have an allergic reaction to bananas because they contain similar proteins.

Choice A is wrong because wheat is not a latex cross-reactive food.

Choice B is wrong because strawberries are a low or undetermined cross- reactive food.

Choice C is wrong because peanuts are a low or undetermined cross-reactive food.

Some other foods that the nurse should instruct the client to avoid are avocado, kiwi, chestnut, papaya, and potato. These foods have a high or moderate association with latex cross-reactions. The client should also be careful with other fruits and vegetables that may contain similar proteins to latex.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

“I will not play soccer until my doctor tells me I can.” This statement indicates that the client understands the risk of splenic rupture due to splenomegaly and the need to avoid contact sports until the spleen returns to normal size.

Choice A is wrong because antibiotics are not effective for infectious mononucleosis, which is caused by a virus.

Choice C is wrong because varicella booster is not related to infectious mononucleosis and there is no evidence that the client needs it.

Choice D is wrong because jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin) is not a common manifestation of infectious mononucleosis and may indicate another condition such as hepatitis.

Normal ranges for spleen size are 7 to 14 cm in length and 3 to 4 cm in thickness.

A. Can draw a circle. B. Has a vocabulary of four words. C. Jumps with both feet. D. Weighs 12 kg (26.5 Ib).

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Has a vocabulary of four words. This is because a 24-month-old toddler should be able to speak about 50 or more words and use simple phrases. Having a vocabulary of only four words indicates a significant delay in speech and language development that should be reported to the provider.

Choice A is wrong because drawing a circle is a normal fine motor skill for a 24- month-old toddler.

Choice C is wrong because jumping with both feet is a normal gross motor skill for a 24-month-old toddler.

Choice D is wrong because weighing 12 kg (26.5 Ib) is within the average range for a 24-month-old toddler.
