Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Treatment for SLE can include cytotoxic drugs. The client is taught to avoid pregnancy by using contraceptives, as these drugs can cause birth defects. The client is taught to avoid crowds, as they are potential sources of infection. Client with SLE should contact their primary care providers should signs of infection occur, as the immune system is compromised. Aspirin can cause bleeding and should be taken with extreme care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Peer interaction is important to teens. Being able to discuss the physical changes related to SLE with a friend indicates acceptance of the change in body image. Refusing to go to school or attend social functions indicates nonacceptance of the changes to body image. Discussing changes only with healthcare personnel does not indicate the teen has adjusted to the body image changes.
