Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Foot screening is considered a tertiary prevention measure, one that minimizes the problems with foot ulcers, an effect of diabetic disease and disability. Avoiding carcinogens is considered primary preventionthose strategies aimed at optimizing health and disease prevention in general and not linked to a single disease entity. Glaucoma screening is considered secondary screeningmeasures designed to identify individuals in an early state of a disease process so that prompt treatment can be started. Seat belt use is considered primary preventionthose strategies aimed at optimizing health and disease prevention in general and not linked to a single disease entity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An instructional video would provide a visual/auditory approach for discharge instructions. Repeatedly not following written instructions is a clue that the patient may not be able to read or understand the information. While assessing the literacy level of an adult patient can be challenging, the information that they have not been able to follow previous written instructions would suggest that the nurse use an alternate strategy that does not require a high degree of literacy. An individualized handout would be written, very similar to previous instructions, and would not address a concern about literacy. Internet resources generally require an individual to be able to read, and although videos are available through the Internet, this is not the best response. Self-help books would be appropriate for an individual who reads. There is a question about whether this patient is literate, so these would not be the best choice.
