A young client has just completed the 6-month series of Gardasil vaccine. Which comment by the client would alert the nurse that further teaching is needed?
"I am at lower risk for developing cervical warts.".
" ".
"This vaccine lowers my risk for cervical cancer.".
"This vaccine will prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) from occurring.".
The Correct Answer is A
"I am at lower risk for developing cervical warts." This is an incorrect statement because the Gardasil vaccine does not protect against genital warts caused by HPV types other than types 6 and 11. The vaccine protects against HPV types 16 and 18, which cause most cases of cervical cancer.
B: This option is incomplete and does not provide any information for the nurse to determine if further teaching is needed.
C: This statement is correct and indicates that the client understands the purpose of the Gardasil vaccine.
D: This statement is incorrect because the Gardasil vaccine does not prevent HPV infection from occurring.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Assess the client for the ability to ambulate independently. The highest priority nursing intervention for a client admitted to a neurologic rehabilitation unit following a cerebrovascular accident is to assess the client's ability to ambulate independently. This assessment will help the nurse determine the level of assistance required and develop an appropriate care plan.
Option A. Providing instruction on blood-thinning medication is not the highest priority as it can be done later when the client's ambulation status is stable.
Option C. Including the client in the planning of care and setting of goals is important but not the highest priority in this situation as it can be done after assessing the client's ambulation status.
Option D. Praise the client when using adaptive equipment, is not the highest priority as the client's ambulation status is more important at this point.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A blood glucose reading of 48 is considered low and requires immediate intervention to raise the client's blood sugar. Intravenous dextrose solution is the fastest way to raise blood sugar levels in an unconscious client. Glucagon and cortisone can also be used to raise blood sugar levels, but they are not the first-line treatment for hypoglycemia.
Choice A, orange juice, is not appropriate for an unconscious client as they cannot swallow or drink.
