A nurse is advising a 15-year-old boy on managing acne during puberty. Which of the following recommendations is most appropriate?

A.

"Avoid all oily foods to prevent acne."

B.

"Pop pimples to reduce their size."

C.

"Use strong astringents to dry out your skin."

D.

"Wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice a day."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Avoiding all oily foods is not necessary, as dietary factors have varying effects on acne; instead, moderation is key.  

 

B. Popping pimples can lead to scarring, infection, and further inflammation, making this an inappropriate recommendation for acne management.  

 

C. Using strong astringents can irritate the skin and worsen acne; gentle skin care is more effective for maintaining healthy skin.  

 

D. Washing the face with a gentle cleanser twice a day helps to remove excess oil and dirt without irritating the skin, which is the most appropriate recommendation for managing acne during puberty.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Clients on digoxin should actually have an adequate intake of potassium, as low potassium levels can increase the risk of digoxin toxicity.

B. If a pediatric client spits out digoxin, the dose should not be repeated automatically; instead, the nurse should assess the situation and follow the facility's protocol regarding missed doses.

C. Measuring the apical pulse for one full minute before administering digoxin is critical; if the pulse is below the established threshold (usually <60 bpm for children), the medication should be held and the provider notified.

D. While evaluating for nausea, vomiting, and anorexia is important, it is not an appropriate immediate action before administering the medication. The priority action is to assess the apical pulse.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Tricuspid atresia typically leads to decreased pulmonary blood flow due to the absence of normal blood flow to the lungs.

B. Patent ductus arteriosus results in increased pulmonary blood flow because it allows blood to flow from the aorta to the pulmonary artery, increasing the volume of blood going to the lungs.

C. Coarctation of the aorta can cause decreased blood flow to the lower body, which may not directly relate to increased pulmonary blood flow.

D. Tetralogy of Fallot is characterized by decreased pulmonary blood flow due to right ventricular outflow obstruction, making it not associated with increased pulmonary blood flow.
