Free NCLEX RN Questions on Health Promotion and Maintenance Nursing Practice Question
The nurse has completed discharge teaching with a client who has had surgery for lung cancer. The nurse determines that the client needs additional teaching about the elements of home management if the client verbalizes the need to follow which instruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clients post-lung cancer surgery should not manage increased pain independently, as it may indicate complications requiring medical attention. Avoiding crowds, sitting up to breathe easier, and reporting shortness of breath are appropriate home management strategies.
