Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"C"}

Based on the client's history and physical, the nurse notes that this postpartum client is most at risk for developing thromboembolism

Rationale

Prolonged immobility during labor and instrumental delivery are risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to stasis of blood flow in the lower extremities. In addition, epidural anesthesia can contribute to venous stasis by impairing mobility and reducing the ability to feel discomfort or urgency to move.

The immediate postpartum period, especially after a prolonged labor and delivery, poses an increased risk of VTE due to hypercoagulability and vascular damage.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Rationale

A This statement is incorrect for diabetes management. People with diabetes should avoid soaking their feet in hot water, as it can lead to burns and skin damage, which is particularly risky due to potential nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation common in diabetes.

B. This statement demonstrates good understanding. Alcohol can affect blood sugar levels and should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes. Limiting intake to 1-2 drinks per day (following healthcare provider's advice) is generally recommended to minimize the impact on blood sugar levels and overall health.

C. Exercise is crucial for managing blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. Physical activity helps muscles use glucose for energy and can lower blood sugar levels. Understanding the importance of regular exercise is key for effective diabetes management.

D. While keeping wounds covered is generally good advice to prevent infection, using antibiotic ointment on every wound is not necessary unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional. Proper wound care, including cleaning with mild soap and water, keeping the wound clean and dry, and seeking medical attention for any signs of infection

A. Broken skin without evidence of undermining. B. Thick, dry, and dark area on bilateral heels. C. Defined area of persistent redness over bone. D. Superficial sacral pressure injury with defined margins.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Rationale

A. This finding suggests that the skin has already broken down, indicating a more advanced stage of pressure injury rather than an early indication. The presence of broken skin typically indicates at least a Stage 2 pressure injury according to the staging system.

B. This description suggests the presence of a deep tissue injury (DTI), which is a late sign of pressure injury.

C. This is indicative of a stage I pressure injury, where the skin is still intact but shows signs of redness that does not blanch with pressure. This stage precedes the actual breakdown of skin seen in more advanced pressure injuries.

D. This finding describes a superficial wound with clear margins, suggesting a Stage 2 pressure injury. It is more advanced than the early signs typically sought for early intervention.
