A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a school-age child who has hemophilia about participating in school

sports. Which of the following sports should the nurse recommend for the child? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: Delivering a clean voided urine specimen to the laboratory is not the first task that the AP should complete because it is not urgent or time-sensitivE. The specimen can be stored in a refrigerator or on ice until it is delivereD.

Choice B reason: Feeding a client who has bilateral casts due to upper arm fractures is not the first task that the AP should complete because it is not critical or life-threateninG. The client can wait until after breakfast to receive assistance with feedinG.

Choice C reason: Performing blood glucose monitoring of a client who has a prescription for short-acting insulin prior to breakfast is the first task that the AP should complete because it is essential and priority. The client needs to have their blood glucose level checked before receiving insulin to prevent hypoglycemia or hyperglycemiA.

Choice D reason: Obtaining an extra box of tissues for a client who is concerned about running out of them is not the first task that the AP should complete because it is not important or necessary. The client can use other alternatives such as paper towels or napkins until they get more tissues.

Acne is a common skin condition that often requires specialized treatment. While general skincare practices can help maintain healthy skin, the most appropriate recommendation for a 16-year-old client seeking treatment for acne is to refer them to a dermatologist.

Acne can have various underlying causes, and effective treatment often involves a tailored approach based on the individual's specific condition. Dermatologists are medical professionals specializing in skin health and are best equipped to assess and provide appropriate treatment options for acne.

Let's briefly evaluate the other options:

a) Wash the hair and skin daily with mild soap and warm water.
While maintaining good hygiene is important for overall skin health, washing the hair and skin alone may not be sufficient to address acne. Acne is a multifactorial condition that requires more comprehensive treatment beyond basic hygiene practices.

b) Omit chocolate, carbonated drinks, and fried foods from the diet.
While diet can play a role in overall skin health, there is limited scientific evidence linking specific foods to the development or worsening of acne. Restricting specific foods may not be the most effective or necessary approach for treating acne. Additionally, dietary changes alone may not address the underlying causes of acne.

c) Express blackheads and follow with an exfoliating scrub.
Squeezing or expressing blackheads can potentially worsen acne and lead to skin damage or infection. It is generally not recommended to atempt self-extraction of blackheads or use aggressive exfoliating scrubs without professional guidance.

In summary, when a 16-year-old client seeks advice for acne, the most appropriate recommendation for the practical nurse (PN) is to refer the client to a dermatologist for prescribed long-term therapy.
Dermatologists have the expertise to evaluate the individual's specific condition and provide appropriate treatment options tailored to their needs.
