The client moves both crutches forward, with weight on the unaffected leg, and then moves the unaffected leg forward, shifting weight onto it. Which of the following gaits is being utilized?
- A. Two-point gait
- B. Three-point gait
- C. Four-point gait
- D. Unaffected gait
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, Three-point gait. In a three-point gait, one leg is non-weight bearing, as described in the scenario where the client shifts weight onto the unaffected leg. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A two-point gait involves partial weight-bearing on both legs, a four-point gait involves weight-bearing on both legs, and 'Unaffected gait' is not a recognized term in gait patterns.

A client is diagnosed with glaucoma. The provider needs to determine if it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. What test does the nurse anticipate?
- A. Ultrasonic imaging
- B. Gonioscopy
- C. Corneal staining
- D. Electroretinography
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gonioscopy is the appropriate test to anticipate in this scenario. It is used to distinguish between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma by examining the angle where the iris meets the cornea. Choice A, ultrasonic imaging, is not typically used to differentiate between these types of glaucoma. Choice C, corneal staining, is used to detect corneal abrasions and defects, not to differentiate between types of glaucoma. Choice D, electroretinography, is a test that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina and is not specific to differentiating between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma.

What activities should the client avoid after cataract surgery? (Select all that apply)
- A. Blowing one's nose
- B. Bearing down during defecation
- C. Lifting items heavier than 10 pounds
- D. All of the Above
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After cataract surgery, the client should avoid activities that can increase intraocular pressure. Blowing one's nose and bearing down during defecation can raise the pressure inside the eye, which can be harmful during the healing process. Lifting items heavier than 10 pounds can also lead to an increase in intraocular pressure. Therefore, all the activities mentioned in the choices (nose blowing, bearing down during defecation, and lifting heavy items) should be avoided after cataract surgery to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
