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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
