Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,E,F

A. Exercise planning:

Exercise is a cornerstone of diabetes management and can help reduce cardiovascular risk factors.
Regular activity can improve cholesterol levels, particularly by increasing HDL (good cholesterol) and potentially lowering LDL (bad cholesterol).
It can also aid in weight management, which is particularly important for this client with a BMI of 28 kg/m^2.
B. Oral antidiabetic:
While oral antidiabetics are a common treatment, the client's laboratory results do not indicate a current diagnosis of diabetes, thus it may not be necessary at this stage.
C. Short acting insulin:
Short acting insulin is typically used for managing blood sugar levels in individuals with diagnosed diabetes, particularly type 1 or advanced type 2 diabetes.
There is no indication from the client's history or lab results that he requires insulin therapy at this time.
D. Extra carbohydrates:
Adding extra carbohydrates without monitoring blood glucose levels could be detrimental, especially in individuals at risk of developing diabetes.
Carbohydrates need to be carefully balanced in a diabetic diet, and the client has not been diagnosed with diabetes.
E. Nutrition education:
Education on nutrition can help the client make informed food choices to manage both blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
It can also provide guidance on portion control, which can contribute to weight management.

F. Weight reduction treatment:
Given the client's overweight status, a weight reduction plan could help lower the risk of developing diabetes.
Weight loss can also have a positive impact on cholesterol levels and overall metabolic health.
G Long acting insulin:
Long acting insulin is used to manage blood sugar levels throughout the day and is typically prescribed for individuals with diagnosed diabetes.
As with short acting insulin, there is no current indication for insulin therapy for this client.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Providing lab results to the parent without the client's consent violates the client’s right to privacy under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
B. While the healthcare provider may discuss results, the nurse must first ensure the client has given consent for the parent to receive medical information.
C. Since the client is an adult (22 years old), their medical information is confidential. The nurse can only share information with the parent if the client provides explicit consent.
D. This response is inappropriate and dismissive, potentially damaging the nurse-client relationship. A professional and respectful explanation should be given.

A. Weigh every morning. B. Limit fluid intake to 1,500 ml daily. C. Eat a high protein diet. D. Perform range of motion exercises.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Weigh every morning: Daily weighing helps monitor for fluid retention, which is important in managing heart failure. Sudden weight gain can indicate fluid accumulation and worsening heart failure symptoms, prompting the need for medical attention.
B. Limit fluid intake to 1,500 ml daily: While fluid restriction may be necessary for some
individuals with heart failure, the specific amount varies based on individual circumstances and should be determined by the healthcare provider. A blanket recommendation of 1,500 ml may not be appropriate for all patients.
C. Eat a high protein diet: While a balanced diet is important for overall health, there is no specific evidence to suggest that a high protein diet is essential for heart failure management. Dietary recommendations should be tailored to the individual's needs and comorbidities.
D. Perform range of motion exercises: While exercise is important for overall health, including for individuals with heart failure, range of motion exercises may not be the priority instruction for discharge teaching. Exercise recommendations should be individualized and may include aerobic and resistance training based on the client's condition and functional status.
