The nurse is caring for a client who takes aspirin three times daily. Which of the following is a potential side effect of daily aspirin intake?

Choice A rationale
While it’s important to prepare for a barium swallow test, maintaining a clear liquid diet 24 hours before the test is not typically required.
Choice B rationale
Drinking plenty of fluids after the test is indeed a correct instruction. The barium used in the test can cause constipation or impacted stool if it does not pass out of the body. Drinking ample fluids helps flush the contrast from the gastrointestinal system.
Choice C rationale
While it’s true that the stool may be discolored after a barium swallow test, it’s more likely to be lighter or white, not black.
Choice D rationale

The barium swallow test does not involve the injection of any dye that would cause a warm feeling. This sensation is more commonly associated with the injection of contrast dye in other types of imaging tests, not a barium swallow.

Choice A rationale
Childhood obesity can indeed lead to diabetes mellitus. Obesity in children increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose)34.
Choice B rationale
While attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children, there’s no direct evidence to suggest that childhood obesity is a potential complication or cause of ADHD3.
Choice C rationale

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, which means that the immune system attacks healthy cells in the body by mistake, causing inflammation (painful swelling) in the affected parts of the body. There is no direct link between childhood obesity and the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
Choice D rationale
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is not typically associated with childhood obesity. On the contrary, obesity in children can increase the risk of high blood pressure.
