The nurse is teaching a female client about ways to prevent a migraine. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?.

"Chocolate can help decrease stress and prevent headaches."

"Oral contraceptives are not associated with causing headaches."

"You should try to maintain a regular sleep pattern."

"Use bright lighting inside so your eyes do not have to strain."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Chocolate is actually a common trigger for migraines in some people, due to its caffeine content and the presence of other compounds that can provoke migraines. It’s better to avoid chocolate if it is a known trigger.
B. Oral contraceptives can sometimes trigger migraines in women, especially those with a history of migraines. The hormonal fluctuations associated with oral contraceptive use can be a potential trigger for some individuals.
C. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule is an important lifestyle change for migraine prevention. Irregular sleep patterns or poor-quality sleep are common triggers for migraines. A consistent sleep routine helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythms and may help reduce migraine frequency.
D. Bright lighting can actually trigger migraines in some people. It’s better to avoid glare and use softer, dimmer lighting, especially in environments where you spend a lot of time.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Regular insulin typically reaches its peak action 2 to 4 hours after administration. Since the insulin was given at 0730, the nurse should be most alert for signs of hypoglycemia between 0930 and 1130 when the insulin is most effective in lowering blood glucose.
B. This time frame is too late for peak action, as regular insulin's peak typically occurs earlier, between 2 to 4 hours after administration.
C. While this is within the range of insulin’s peak effect, it doesn't account for the full duration of potential hypoglycemia. The best window for observing symptoms would extend until 1130.
D. Hypoglycemia is most likely to occur during the peak action of the insulin, which is earlier, not this extended time frame.

A. "I will be put to sleep during this procedure." B. "The doctor will be able to remove the cancer through the needle." C. "After the biopsy I will know for sure if I have cancer and what stage it is." D. "The doctor will make a small incision and remove a piece of the tumor."

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. A needle biopsy of the thyroid is typically done under local anesthesia, not general anesthesia. The client would be awake during the procedure, although they may be given a sedative to help them relax.
B. A needle biopsy is used to obtain a sample of tissue for testing, not to remove the cancer. The procedure helps diagnose the presence of cancer, but further treatment like surgery would be necessary to remove any cancer.
C. While a needle biopsy can confirm the presence of cancer, it does not provide information about the stage of cancer. Additional imaging and tests would be required to determine the stage.
D. Although the procedure typically involves inserting a needle through the skin (often without making a large incision), the biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue for examination. This is the correct understanding of a needle biopsy.
