Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should encourage health promotion behaviors but first must consider the autonomy of the patient. The nurse would want to value the input of the patient in making a decision and to address any concerns the patient may have. The HPV vaccine is a preventative treatment, whether or not the patient is sexually active. The nurse should not make assumptions about a patient's home life; instead, the nurse should ask questions while establishing a therapeutic relationship.

Answer to Question 2

C
Vitamin A can reverse steroid effects on skin and delayed healing.
Iron does not reverse the effects of steroids. It is important in the transport of oxygen.
Folic acid does not reverse the effects of steroids. It is a B-complex vitamin needed for DNA synthesis.
The B-complex vitamins do not reverse the effects of steroids. The B vitamins affect growth and stimulate appetite, lactation, and the gastrointestinal, neurological, and endocrine systems.
