Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Apply olive or mineral oil to the skin areas that were exposed to the plant. Oils can spread the urushiol (the irritant in poison ivy) and worsen the reaction.
B. Flush both arms and hands with cool running water right away. Washing with cool water can help remove the urushiol from the skin and reduce the severity of the reaction.
C. Scrub both arms and hands with antibacterial soap and hot water. Hot water can open pores and increase absorption of urushiol; antibacterial soap is not necessary.
D. Have the child avoid contact with other family members. While it's important to prevent the spread of urushiol, the immediate priority is to wash it off.

A. Ask the client to tilt her head back when swallowing. B. Offer the client larger portions of food during the meal. C. Use spoons, instead of cups, when serving liquids to the client. D. Encourage the client to complete the meal within 15 min.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Ask the client to tilt her head back when swallowing. Tilting the head back can increase the risk of aspiration. Clients with dysphagia should be instructed to tuck their chin to their chest when swallowing.
B. Offer the client larger portions of food during the meal. Smaller portions are safer for clients with dysphagia to reduce the risk of choking and aspiration.
C. Use spoons, instead of cups, when serving liquids to the client. This is correct. Using spoons can help control the amount of liquid the client receives, reducing the risk of aspiration.
D. Encourage the client to complete the meal within 15 min. Rushing a meal increases the risk of choking and aspiration. Clients with dysphagia should eat slowly and take small bites.
