A 25-year-old client believes she may be pregnant with her first child. She schedules an obstetric examination with the nurse practitioner to determine the status of her possible pregnancy. Her last menstrual period began May 20, and her estimated date of confinement using Nägele's rule is:

  1. March 27
  2. February 1
  3. February 27
  4. January 3

The primary reason for sending a burn client home with a pressure garment, such as a Jobst garment, is that the garment:

  1. Decreases hypertrophic scar formation
  2. Assists with ambulation
  3. Covers burn scars and decreases the psychological impact during recovery
  4. Increases venous return and cardiac output by normalizing fluid status

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

(A) Tubular support, such as that received with a Jobst garment, applies tension of 10­20 mm Hg. This amount of uniform pressure is necessary to prevent or reduce hypertrophic scarring. Clients typically wear a pressure garment for 6­12 months during the recovery phase of their care. (B) Pressure garments have no ambulatory assistive properties. (C) Pressure garments can worsen the psychological impact of burn injury, especially if worn on the face. (D) Pressure garments do not normalize fluid status.
