Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Abandon biases that older adults are sexually inactive. Older adults are sexually active and at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The nurse should not make assumptions about the client's sexual activity based on age.

Option A, older clients who are sexually active have less risk for STIs than other age groups, is incorrect because older adults are at risk for STIs. Option C, older clients know the ways to prevent STIs, may not always be accurate.

Option D, older clients, because of their maturity, are rarely embarrassed to talk about it, is a generalization and may not be true for all older clients.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Inspection, followed by Auscultation, Percussion, and Palpation. Inspection assesses for abdominal contour, symmetry, any visible masses, scars or other abnormalities. Auscultation assesses bowel sounds, and Percussion assesses for any areas of tenderness, and to determine the presence of fluid, gas or masses. Palpation assesses for any masses, areas of tenderness, organ size or other abnormalities. This is the order that allows the nurse to assess the abdomen systematically and accurately.

A: Palpation comes last because it can stimulate bowel sounds, which can make the nurse miss some of the sounds while auscultating.

C: Auscultation must be done before percussion and palpation to prevent altering bowel sounds.

D: Percussion comes before palpation to avoid altering the underlying structures of the abdomen.

A. Pain radiating down the dorsal surface of the forearm. B. A decrease in grasp strength. C. Inability to flex index and middle fingers. D. Tenderness in the affected wrist.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A decrease in grasp strength. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes compressed at the wrist. Common assessment findings include numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers, weakness in the hand, and a decrease in grasp strength.

Choice A, pain radiating down the dorsal surface of the forearm, is not the correct answer because it is a common symptom of tennis elbow.

Choice C, inability to flex index and middle fingers, is not the correct answer because it is a symptom of trigger finger.

Choice D, tenderness in the affected wrist, is not the correct answer because it is a common symptom of wrist sprains or strains.
