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.

o B. Milking the tube to ensure patency
o C. Slowing the intravenous infusion
o D. Notifying the physician
Correct Answer: D. Notifying the physician
The output of 300 mL is indicative of hemorrhage and should be
reported immediately.

nothing to help the client.

an order and will not help in this situation, and slowing
the intravenous infusion is not an appropriate action.
