Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. The client who is recovering from a motor vehicle collision. This situation involves an acute stressor related to trauma, which is significant but not a developmental stressor.

B. The client that is recently divorced. Divorce is a significant life event that can contribute to developmental stress, especially if it involves major life changes and adjustment issues.

C. The client experiencing the symptoms of menopause. Menopause is a normal developmental phase, though it can be stressful. However, it is less likely to be classified as a significant risk factor compared to other life events.

D. The client newly diagnosed with lung cancer. A new cancer diagnosis is a major stressor and can contribute to significant emotional and psychological stress, but it is more of an acute stressor than a developmental one.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. "You sound frustrated, tell me more about this feeling." This response validates the patient’s feelings and opens up a discussion about their emotions, which provides support and helps address their psychological needs.

B. "You remind me of my mother, she is always frustrated when she is ill." This response is not focused on the patient’s needs and shifts attention away from their concerns.

C. "I am concerned about your mental health; I will call your family." While mental health is important, calling the family without first addressing the patient’s immediate concerns might feel intrusive or premature.

D. "You need to be more careful after this stroke or you could fall." This response addresses safety but does not provide emotional support or acknowledge the patient’s feelings of frustration.

Inject the amount of air into the nonmodified (clear) vial that is equal to the prescribed dose of unmodified (clear) Insulin D. Invert the vial of modified insert the needle into the (cloudy) Insulin, then vial and draw back the prescribed dose.

Correct Answer is A, C, B, D

Explanation

Step 1: A. Inject the amount of air into the modified (cloudy) vial that is equal to the prescribed dose of modified (cloudy) insulin. This step is correct and should be done first. Injecting air into the vial of cloudy insulin (modified) helps to prevent creating a vacuum and makes it easier to withdraw the insulin.

Step 3: B. Invert the vial of non-modified (clear) insulin, then insert the needle into the vial and draw back the prescribed dose. This step should be done after air has been injected into the modified insulin vial. The clear insulin (non-modified) should be drawn first to avoid contamination of the clear insulin with the cloudy insulin.

Step 2: C. Inject the amount of air into the nonmodified (clear) vial that is equal to the prescribed dose of nonmodified (clear) insulin. This step should be done before drawing the insulin from the clear vial. Injecting air into the clear insulin vial helps to equalize the pressure and makes it easier to withdraw the insulin.

Step 4: D. Invert the vial of modified (cloudy) insulin, then insert the needle into the vial and draw back the prescribed dose. This step should be done after drawing the clear insulin. Drawing the cloudy insulin last helps to prevent any contamination of the clear insulin with the cloudy insulin.
