Question 2

An older patient recently diagnosed with skin cancer does not understand why the disease developed since sunbathing has always been avoided. How should the nurse respond to this patient?
 
  1. Can you tell me more about your feelings?
  2. Sun exposure can happen from driving a car.
  3. We frequently never find out why cancer strikes.
  4. This is unusual, as skin cancer normally only occurs in sunbathers.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Asking the patient to explain feelings does not answer the patient's question. This is an inappropriate response for the nurse to make.

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.
