Answer to Question 1

D
Hydrogen peroxide reduces the transmission of microorganisms and should be washed off with sterile water or normal saline. Tap water, Betadine, or alcohol should not be used to cleanse the inner cannula of a tracheostomy tube.

Answer to Question 2

2. Exercise and calcium supplements are helpful in the prevention of osteoporosis..

Rationale:
Osteoporosis risk factors increase after menopause. Preventative activities include exercise and calcium supplements. It is not too late to begin prevention activities. Without additional information, it is not possible to determine if the client is a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. Generally, hormone replacement therapy is limited to those women who are experiencing vasomotor manifestations. The client in the scenario has two risk factors presented. Although a full analysis would be beneficial, it does not answer the client's request for information.
