The nurse admits a client diagnosed with chronic renal failure who will receive a kidney transplant. The nurse begins to prepare the family for discharge needs by:
 
  1. Discussing the need for infection-control measures post-transplant.
  2. Discussing the need for reduced activity after the procedure.
  3. Questioning the parents about their knowledge of antirejection drugs.
  4. Explaining how to change the surgical dressing postprocedure.

Question 2

The nurse is caring for an elderly diabetic client with secondary diagnoses of hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic renal failure, and right leg neuropathy when the client says, That's weird.
 
  All of a sudden I'm seeing things floating in front of my eyes. The nurse attributes the client's symptoms to: 1. Alzheimer's disease.
  2. Elevated potassium secondary to renal failure.
  3. Diabetic retinopathy.
  4. Neuropathy.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: It is important for the nurse to begin explaining infection-control measures required secondary to the antirejection drugs the child will receive postprocedure because infections the parents come in contact with today can impact the child postprocedure.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The client might be experiencing small tears in the retina that rupture and create tissue damage and scarring, which manifest initially as floaters. Rapid intervention is required to prevent blindness.
