Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Nurse caring for 19 yo client who is sexually active & has come to college health clinic for first time for checkup. Which intervention should nurse perform to determine client's health promotion & disease prevention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Determine client's risk factors. This intervention is essential to assess the client's current health status, identify potential health risks, and develop a personalized health promotion plan. By understanding the client's risk factors, the nurse can provide targeted education and interventions to prevent diseases and promote overall well-being.
A: Measuring vital signs is important but does not directly address health promotion and disease prevention specific to the client's sexual activity.
B: Encouraging HIV screening is important, but it focuses on a specific disease rather than a comprehensive assessment of risk factors.
D: Instructing the client to use condoms is important for safe sex practices but does not address broader health promotion and disease prevention strategies effectively.
Question 2 of 5
Nurse in clinic caring for 21 yo client who reports sore throat. Client tells nurse he hasn't seen a doctor since high school. Which health screening should nurse expect provider to perform for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Testicular exam. The nurse should expect the provider to perform a testicular exam because the client is a 21-year-old male. Testicular cancer is most common in young men, with the highest incidence between ages 15-35. Since the client has not had a doctor visit since high school, it is important to screen for testicular cancer as part of routine health maintenance. This exam can help detect any abnormalities early on, leading to better outcomes. Blood glucose (choice
B) screening is more relevant for diabetes, which typically affects older individuals. Fecal occult blood (choice
C) screening is used for detecting colorectal cancer, typically recommended for individuals over 50. Prostate-specific antigen (choice
D) screening is for prostate cancer, which is more common in older men.
Question 3 of 5
Nurse is talking with 45 yo client with no specific family hx of cancer or DM, about planning routine screenings. Which client statement indicates client understands how to proceed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "For now, I should continue to have a mammogram each year." This response shows understanding of the need for annual mammograms for breast cancer screening, which is recommended for women aged 45 and older. The other choices are incorrect because: A suggests delaying colon cancer screening, which is typically recommended starting at age 50; C implies annual pap smears, which are usually done every 3-5 years depending on age and risk factors; D indicates a lack of understanding about the frequency of blood glucose testing for diabetes screening.

Question 5 of 5
When nurse is observing client drawing up & mixing insulin injections, which best demonstrates psychomotor learning has taken place?

Rationale: The correct answer is B because demonstrating the appropriate technique shows psychomotor learning has taken place. This means the client can physically perform the actions involved in drawing up and mixing insulin injections. Merely discussing the technique (choice
A) or stating understanding (choice
