    ANSWERS RATIONALE

    1. D Polypharmacy refers to a potentially inappropriate combination of medications. While


    it is true that a higher number of medications puts patients at risk of polypharmacy, it
    is not in and of itself indicative of polypharmacy.

    2. D Two keys to managing medication use in the elderly are accurate medication listing
    and assessment of compliance.

    3. D For a patient diagnosed with acute sinusitis, the nurse should instruct the patient that
    hot packs, increasing fluid intake, and elevating the head of the bed can promote
    drainage

    4. C Management of acute laryngitis includes resting the voice, avoiding irritants (including
    smoking), resting, and inhaling cool steam or an aerosol.

    5. D If pressure to the midline septum does not stop the bleeding for epistaxis, additional
    treatment of silver nitrate application, Gelfoam, electrocautery, or vasoconstrictors
    may be used

    6. C Each of the listed diagnoses is valid, but ineffective airway clearance is the priority
    nursing diagnosis for all conditions

    7. A The nurse stresses the importance of humidification at home and instructs the family
    to obtain and set up a humidification system before the patient returns home

    8. A Hoarseness is an early symptom of laryngeal cancer. Dyspnea, dysphagia, and lumps


    are later signs of laryngeal cancer

    9. D A cotton tampon may be used to try to stop the bleeding. The use of ice on the bridge
    of the nose has no scientific rationale for care.

    10. B Considering the known risk factors for cancer of the larynx, it is essential to assess the
    patient's history of alcohol intake. Infection is a risk in the postoperative period, but
    not an appropriate answer based on the patient's history.
