The nurse can best discuss the impact of a known risk factor on a client's health by stating:
 
  1. It doesn't mean you'll get the disease just that the odds are greater for you.
  2. Now you know that the possibility is there, you can take steps to prevent it.
  3. The risk factor can be managed by making a change in your lifestyle.
  4. You're lucky because you have the benefit of being able to do something about it.

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a terminally ill client who recently immigrated to the United States. To provide quality end-of-life care, the nurse must initially:
 
  1. Make every effort to involve the client and his family in the end-of-life care
  2. Understand the client's personal and cultural views regarding death and dying
  3. Arrange for end-of-life care to be provided by personnel familiar with the client's culture
  4. Share the client's concerns regarding the dying process with his interdisciplinary care team

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The presence of risk factors does not mean that a disease will develop, but risk factors increase the chances that the individual will experience a particular disease or dysfunction.
While this response is not incorrect, it does not address the impact of a risk factor on the client's health.
This is not always true, and so it is not the best option.
This option minimizes the client's concern and does not address the impact of a risk factor on the client's health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Differences in beliefs, values, and traditional health care practices are relevant when planning end-of-life care. It is the nurse's responsibility to become familiar with the client's personal and cultural views so as to provide the most effective and appropriate end-of-life care.
While this is important, it is not the best available option because understanding the client's cul-tural and personal views will facilitate all other offered options.
This may not be either practical or possible.
While this is important, it is not the best available option because understanding the client's cul-tural and personal views will facilitate all other offered options.
