Answer to Question 1

1. Contraceptives should continue to be utilized.

Rationale:
It takes approximately one year of menstrual cycle cessation in order for a woman to be considered in menopause. It is still possible for the woman to become pregnant during this period of time. Contraceptives should be used until one year without menstrual cycles has occurred.

Answer to Question 2

3. Maintain a good nutritional balance..

Rationale:
The elderly are susceptible to cellulitis as their immune system and skin are compromised as they age. The best preventive measure to maintain skin integrity and a healthier immune system is good nutrition. Cellulitis can occur on any part of the body, so preventing the client from using body parts, such as the legs, is not reasonable and does not prevent cellulitis. Exercise is a good way to promote health, including walking. The nurse would instruct the family regarding signs and symptoms of developing cellulitis after a fall. It is not always necessary to bring the client to the doctor for a fall if no injuries were sustained.
