Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, D

The client will need additional intervention if weight loss occurs and if the client has continued itching. No additional intervention is needed if hand washing is performed correctly or pain is controlled. The health department must be notified if a food service worker is diagnosed due to possible exposure of patrons.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

A client who is diagnosed with mild BPH is often treated with lifestyle changes and a wait and see approach. Urinating at first urge is a lifestyle change that is appropriate for this client. The client should also eliminate caffeine and alcohol from the diet. It is also important for this client to avoid using over-the-counter antihistamines.
