Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. The client with an ear infection is not necessarily a nutritional risk because of the infection.
2. An inner ear infection can cause vertigo and dizziness, which put the client at risk for injury.
3. The client with an ear infection does not need to be isolated.
4. The client with an ear infection should not get her head wet.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. The client would need to refrain from getting the eye wet in the shower.
2. Protein does not prevent cataracts, but a high glucose level does.
3. The nurse stresses that the client should refrain from strenuous activity, coughing, and sneezing, which can increase intraocular pressure.
4. The eye that has had surgery will be patched. Glasses are not needed, but may be worn, although the client will be instructed to refrain from reading after surgery until healing has occurred.
