Q1. A thin older adult patient is diagnosed with osteoporosis. What should the nurse include in the discharge plan for this patient?
Monitoring for decreased urine calcium
Safety factors when using opioids and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs
Instructions relative to diet and exercise
Encouragement of gradual weight gain
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. Instructions relative to diet and exercise
A diet high in calcium and exercise, which helps deposit calcium into bone, are the most important factors in limiting the extent of osteoporosis. 1 Weight gain should be discouraged to limit stress on the patient's bones. 2 Increased, not decreased, urine calcium should be monitored because it reflects demineralization of bone. 4 Opioids usually are not prescribed; other analgesics are used for pain.

"The lip is repaired in the first few weeks of life, but the palate is not usually repaired until the child is 18 months old."

Q5. Which assessment finding following an amniotomy should be conducted first?
Bladder distention
Fetal heart rate pattern
Maternal blood pressure
Cervical dilation
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Fetal heart rate pattern
Fetal heart rate is assessed right after amniotomy to detect any changes that may indicate cord compression or prolapse. Bladder distention or maternal blood pressure would not be the first things to check after an amniotomy. When the membranes are ruptured, minimal vaginal examinations would be done because of the risk of infection.
