A practical nurse is evaluating the understanding of several clients who recently received reinforced teaching regarding health promotion and disease prevention. Which client statement demonstrates a correct understanding of the health promotion instructions?
- ASince I am currently receiving chemotherapy, I will ask the clinic to give me the live-virus nasal flu vaccine instead of the regular injection.
- BIf my older spouse suddenly becomes highly confused and starts hallucinating, I will let him rest because sudden confusion is a normal part of his aging process.
- I need to continue getting my regular mammograms and bone density scans as recommended by my provider, even though I currently feel perfectly healthy.Cevap
- DBecause my cultural traditions prohibit eating meat on certain days, I should independently stop taking my prescribed iron supplements on those days.
Cevap
The statement indicating the client will continue regular screenings (mammograms and bone density scans) even when feeling healthy demonstrates a correct understanding.
Routine screenings such as mammograms and bone density scans are essential secondary prevention measures. They are specifically intended to detect diseases early in asymptomatic individuals, making the statement about continuing them while feeling healthy entirely correct.
