Question
The nurse teaches the client self-care practices for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which two (2) client statements indicate effective understanding?“I should limit my exposure to direct sunlight to 45 continuous minutes each day.”"I should wear long sleeves and a large-brimmed hat when outdoors."“I should wash my skin with an antibacterial soap.”"Cosmetics must be selected carefully and should include moisturizers and sun protectors.""I should refrain from receiving any vaccine."
Solution
The two client statements that indicate effective understanding of self-care practices for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are:
-
"I should wear long sleeves and a large-brimmed hat when outdoors." This statement shows understanding as people with SLE are often advised to protect their skin from the sun, as exposure can trigger a lupus flare. Wearing protective clothing can help to shield the skin from harmful UV rays.
-
"Cosmetics must be selected carefully and should include moisturizers and sun protectors." This statement also indicates understanding as sun protection is crucial for people with SLE. Using cosmetics with sun protectors can provide an additional layer of protection. Moreover, moisturizers can help to manage dry skin, which can be a symptom of SLE.
The other statements are not entirely correct. While it's important to limit sun exposure, there's no specific time limit like 45 continuous minutes each day. Antibacterial soap is not necessary unless specified by a healthcare provider. Lastly, people with SLE should not refrain from receiving any vaccine. They should consult with their healthcare provider about which vaccines are safe and recommended for them.
