1. How often should the nurse burp a bottle-fed infant who has a cleft lip
during feeding?
after each ounce or at least 2 to 3 times during the
... [Show More] feeding
2. What type of bottle should the nurse use to bottle feed an infant who has a
cleft lip?
The nurse should use a bottle with a bottle with a one-way valve to assist the
infant in effective feeding, because this allows the liquid to flow into the
infant's mouth rather than back into the bottle. Providing an effective flow of
formula reduces the risk of aspiration.
3. What type of nipple should the nurse use for a bottle fed infant with a cleft
lip?
The nurse should place a high-flow rate nipple on the bottle because the
infant can have difficulty achieving a good seal, which decreases suction and
increases the risk of aspiration.
4. Why should the nurse squeeze an infant's cheeks together while bottle
feeding an infant with a cleft lip?
The nurse should identify that an infant who has a cleft lip will have
difficulty in obtaining an adequate seal during feeding. The nurse should
gently squeeze the infant's cheeks together to decrease the width of the cleft,
allowing the infant to achieve a better seal, which reduces the risk of
aspiration.
5. When preparing a health promotion seminar for a group of clients about
cancer prevention, why should the nurse include that high-calorie foods and
beverages should be avoided?
The nurse should include in the teaching that clients should avoid consuming
high-calorie foods and beverages to decrease the risk for cancer. Being
overweight or obese can increase hormones that promote cancer cell
development and growth.
6. When preparing a health promotion seminar for a group of clients about
cancer prevention, how much moderate-intensity exercise should the clients
engage in each week?
The nurse should include in the teaching that clients should engage in at
least 150 min of moderate-intensity exercise each week to decrease the riskof obesity. Being overweight or obese can increase hormones that can
promote cancer cell development and growth.
7. A nurse is teaching a client about stress management. Explain why the
following statement indicates a need for further teaching: "I will avoid
eating 1 hour before bedtime."
The client should avoid eating 2 to 3 hr before bedtime to promote sleep and
reduce stress.
8. A nurse is providing dietary instructions for a client who has a prescription
for warfarin. Which food should the nurse recommend the client eat in
moderation while taking this medication?
The nurse should recommend the client eat in moderation and maintain
consistent intake of leafy green vegetables, which contain a natural form of
vitamin K that can negate the anticoagulation effects of warfarin.
9. A nurse in a long-term care facility is monitoring a client during mealtime
who has Parkinson's disease. Why is it imperative she address that the client
drools while eating?
Drooling while eating can indicate that this client is at greatest risk for
aspiration of food from dysphagia, which can lead to pulmonary
complications; therefore, the nurse should identify this as the priority
finding.
