When a client wishes to improve her appearance by removing excess skin from her face and neck, the nurse should provide teaching regarding which of the following procedures?

  1. dermabrasion
  2. rhinoplasty
  3. blepharoplasty
  4. rhytidectomy

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Rhytidectomy is the procedure for removing excess skin from the face and neck. It is commonly called a face- lift.
Dermabrasion involves the spraying of a chemical to cause light freezing of the skin, which is then abraded with sandpaper or a revolving wire brush. It is used to remove facial scars, severe acne, and pigment from tattoos. Rhinoplasty is performed to improve the appearance of the nose and involves reshaping the nasal skeleton and overlying skin.
Blepharoplasty is the procedure that removes loose and protruding fat from the upper and lower eyelids.



All of the following are clinical manifestations indicating male climacteric except ______________.

  1. hot flashes
  2. loss of reproductive ability
  3. headaches
  4. heart palpitations

Explanation:

When a middle-age woman says to the nurse, “I’m really worried about menopause. When my mom went through it, she got really depressed.”

The nurse’s best response is ______________.

  1. “It is a myth that women get depressed because of menopause.”
  2. “Menopause is a normal developmental process.”
  3. “It sounds like you are worried that you might become depressed during menopause.”
  4. “When women experience depression during menopause it is usually because of social stresses.”

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Choice “It sounds like you are worried that you might become depressed during menopause.” not only acknowledges the client’s fear but invites more disclosure and discussion. Reflective listening is very therapeutic and in this case acknowledges the woman’s unspoken fear that she might become depressed like her mother. When her fears have been acknowledged and she feels that the nurse understands, she will be more open to the teaching or interventions to follow.
It is a myth that menopause causes depression, but to say that to this client does not acknowledge the fear she shared with the nurse and gives the impression the nurse doesn’t care about her concern. It closes down communication.
It is also true that menopause is a normal developmental process. This can certainly be used in teaching but not to address her immediate concern; the client might feel the nurse doesn’t think her concern is appropriate because menopause is normal.
If women experience depression during menopause, it is usually due to social stresses such as loss of loved ones, loss of roles, caregiver demands, and physical problems. Choice “When women experience depression during menopause it is usually because of social stresses.” is true but is a nontherapeutic response in this situation.

  2. “My baby should be having at least 4-6 wet diapers a day until 1 month.”
  3. “It’s nice that breastfed babies eat a bit less than formula fed babies.”
  4. “I’m a little nervous about my milk coming in tomorrow. I’ve heard it’s uncomfortable.”
