The pregnant patient in her second trimester states, I didn't know my breasts would become so large. How do I find a good bra? The best answer for the nurse to make would be:
 
  1. Avoid cotton fabrics and get an underwire bra; they fit everyone best.
  2. Just buy a bra one cup size bigger than usual, and it will fit.
  3. Look for wide straps and cups big enough for all of your breast tissue.
  4. There isn't much you can do for comfort. Try not wearing a bra at all.

Question 2

You are the nurse in charge on a pediatric unit. A child with sickle-cell disease,in splenic sequestration crisis,is being admitted. You would assign this client to a
 
  1. semiprivate room.
  2. reverse-isolation room.
  3. contact-isolation room.
  4. private room.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Cotton is especially comfortable during pregnancy when perspiration increases.
Rationale 2: One should be fitted for an appropriate-size bra.
Rationale 3: To obtain maximum comfort, instruct the patient to get a bra that fits well with wide, nonstretch straps, a cup big enough to hold all of the breast tissue, and a band that will expand as the rib cage circumference increases during late pregnancy.
Rationale 4: One can obtain a bra that fits and is comfortable. It is not necessary to be uncomfortable.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:4
Rationale:Splenic sequestration can be lifethreatening,and there is profound anemia. The child does not need an isolation room yet should not be placed in a room with any child who may have an infectious illness. The private room is appropriate for this child.
