. 1. Question The nurse is providing discharge teaching for the client with leukemia. The client should be told to avoid: o A. Using oil- or cream-based soaps o B. Flossing between the teeth o C.... The intake of salt o D. Using an electric razor Correct Answer: B. Flossing between the teeth The client who is immune-suppressed and has bone marrow suppression should be taught not to floss his teeth because platelets are decreased. o Option A: Oil or cream-based soap is allowed for leukemia patients because these will prevent dry skin, which predisposes to skin injury. o Option C: A healthy amount of salt in the patient’s food is allowed. o Option D: The use of an electric razor is recommended because it reduces the risk of injury to the skin that can cause bleeding.  2. Question The nurse is changing the ties of the client with a tracheostomy. The safest method of changing the tracheostomy ties is to: o A. Apply the new tie before removing the old one. o B. Have a helper present. o C. Hold the tracheostomy with the nondominant hand while removing the old tie. o D. Ask the doctor to suture the tracheostomy in place. Correct Answer: A. Apply the new tie before removing the old one. Leaving the old ties in place while securing the clean ties prevents inadvertent dislodging of the tracheostomy tube. o Option B: Having a helper is good, but the helper might not prevent the client from coughing out the tracheotomy. o Option C: Hold the tracheostomy with the nondominant hand while removing the old tie is not the best way to prevent the client from coughing out the tracheotomy. o Option D: Asking the doctor to suture the tracheostomy in place is unnecessary.
