A client with OCD tells the nurse, Thinking these thoughts and doing all my rituals is beyond being silly. I know others laugh behind my back. I sometimes think I can control things, but I al-ways find I can't.
 
  I don't know if I can continue to live this waybeing a burden on my family and being of no use to myself. The reply that shows the best understanding of the client's priority risk is:
  1. How are you sleeping?
  2. Are your rituals interfering with eating?
  3. Have you been thinking about suicide?
  4. What makes you think others are laughing behind your back?

Question 2

The physician tells the nurse, I'll probably begin medication therapy for my client with panic disorder, so be prepared to implement a medication teaching plan. For which medication group will the nurse plan teaching?
 
  1. Tricyclic antidepressants
  2. Monamine oxidase inhibitors
  3. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
  4. Benzodiazepines

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Clients with anxiety disorders should always be assessed for the presence of depression and sui-cidal ideation, the priority risk to safety. This client has admitted feeling powerless to control her symptoms, being a burden, and being useless, in addition to wondering if she can continue to live the way she has been. There is ample reason for asking about suicidal ideation. Options 1 and 2 do not address the priority risk. Option 4 is not a therapeutic inquiry.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
SSRIs are the most widely prescribed medication to treat panic disorder. They are effective and have a low side-effect profile. 1. These medications are effective but have more side effects than SSRIs. 2. These medications are effective but require knowledge of and compliance with a spe-cial diet. 4. These medications are effective but produce alterations in sensorium and other side effects.

As many as 20% of Americans have been infected by the fungus known as Histoplasmosis. While most people are asymptomatic or only have slight symptoms, infection can progress to a rapid and potentially fatal superinfection.

On average, someone in the United States has a stroke about every 40 seconds. This is about 795,000 people per year.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Did you know?

The first monoclonal antibodies were made exclusively from mouse cells. Some are now fully human, which means they are likely to be safer and may be more effective than older monoclonal antibodies.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
