Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

The nurse must always provide honest responses to client questions. Telling the client that the provider will run tests but due to his ethnicity, he is considered low-risk for developing BPH. While age does increase the risk of BPH, it is not the only factor to consider. The client is experiencing urinary retention, which is consistent with BPH. Asking a client where he got that idea is demeaning.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C, D, A, B

Relieving the pain associated with hepatitis and preventing the spread of infection are priorities of hepatitis management. Interventions related to knowledge deficit will address the potential for spread of the infection to the client's husband, use of alcohol, imbalanced nutrition, and impaired skin integrity.
