A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is scheduled to undergo a bronchoscopy.Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice A rationale

Infiltration occurs when IV fluid leaks into the surrounding tissue, causing edema, coolness, and tenderness at the insertion site. This can lead to discomfort and complications if not promptly addressed.

Choice B rationale

Nerve damage from IV therapy usually presents as pain, numbness, or tingling rather than edema and coolness. It results from inadvertent injury to a nerve during catheter insertion or from prolonged pressure on a nerve.

Choice C rationale

Phlebitis is inflammation of the vein, characterized by redness, warmth, and tenderness along the vein. It does not typically cause coolness or extensive edema.

Choice D rationale

Infection at the catheter insertion site usually presents with redness, warmth, and purulent discharge, rather than coolness and edema. Tenderness can be present, but other signs of infection would also be observed.

Choice A rationale

Applying heat to a sprained ankle can increase swelling and should be avoided. Ice should be used instead to reduce swelling.

Choice B rationale

Wrapping the affected ankle with an elastic bandage helps to provide support, reduce swelling, and immobilize the joint.

Choice C rationale

Dangling the affected ankle can cause further injury and increase swelling. The ankle should be elevated to reduce swelling.

Choice D rationale

Bearing full weight on a sprained ankle can exacerbate the injury. The client should avoid putting weight on the ankle until it has healed sufficiently.
