Need help with Ontario RPN exam review (3)

[xoxoxox]

Mr. Lamy is 62 yrs old, and hospitalized for emphysema. He is recieving continuous oxygen therapy via nasal canula

1. He just finished his bath when he presents with dyspnea. He sits down leaning forward slightly forward. What should the RPN do?

A. Check oxygen level

B. Ask Mr. Lamy to take deep breaths

C. Encourage diaphragmatic breathing

I think it should be "C", but I do not know what exactly differences between "C" and "B", some ppl think "A" is right because assessment, gather data before intervention... any idea?

2. Mrs. Lamy asks for information on emphysema. Which one of the following piece of info is important to give Mrs. Lamy?

A. Inform her that Mr. L will have to limit his physical exertion

B. Let her know that his lung tissue might regenerate if he were to stop smoking

I chose "A" cause I think physical exertion can cause dyspnea, and respiration overload, but I did research there is very strong relation between smoking and emphysema... confuse me

3.Mrs. Lamy is aboriginal. She tells the RPN that she and her husband have asked an aboriginal healer to visit Mr. Lamy. What should the RPN do?

A. Inform them that it's preferable that only one style of therapy can be used at a time

B. Discuss with the health care team how to accommodate this visit

C. Do some reading on traditional Aboriginal beliefs

I think "B" is right, but I also think the RPN should do some research at least know what's aboriginal healing before arrange this meeting...

Question1: When 2 answers are about the same they are likely the wrong one, check test taking strategy. What is the trouble with emphysema? How do those patients breathe?
