Question 1 of 5

A 27-year-old man was diagnosed with type I diabetes 3 months ago. Two weeks ago he complained of pain, redness, and tenderness in his right lower leg. He is admitted to the hospital with a slight elevation of temperature and vague complaints of 'not feeling well.' At 4:30 PM on the day of his admission, his blood glucose level is 50 mg; dinner will be served at 5:00 PM. The best nursing action would be to:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Four ounces of orange juice will raise blood sugar to a normal level and sustain it until dinner, preventing hypoglycemia. The other options either raise blood sugar too high or are insufficient.

Question 2 of 5

An 18-year-old girl is admitted to the hospital with a depressed skull fracture as a result of a car accident. If the nurse were to observe a rising pulse rate and lowering blood pressure, the nurse would suspect that the client:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rising pulse rate and lowering blood pressure are indicative of hypovolemia, which is consistent with an internal injury causing blood loss.

Question 3 of 5

A group of nursing students at a local preschool day care center are going to screen each child's fine and gross motor, language, and social skills. The students will use which one of the most widely used screening tests?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The Revised Prescreening Developmental Questionnaire is more age appropriate and offers simplified parent scoring and easier comparison. It is used by parents instead of professionals. The Goodenough Draw-a-Person test is used to assess intellectual development. The Denver Developmental Screening Test is one of the most widely used screening tests. It offers a concise, easy-to-administer, systematic approach to assessing the preschool child. It is widely used because of its reliability and validity. The Caldwell Home Inventory is used to assess the home environment in areas of social, emotional, and cognitive supports.

Question 4 of 5

A client with pregnancy-induced hypertension is scheduled for a C-section. Before surgery, the nurse should keep the client:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The left lateral position improves uteroplacental blood flow in pregnancy-induced hypertension, reducing fetal distress risk. Right-sided, supine, or knee-chest positions are less optimal.

Question 5 of 5

A client is admitted with suspected acute pancreatitis. Which lab finding confirms the diagnosis?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Elevated serum amylase (typically >3 times normal) is a key diagnostic marker for acute pancreatitis due to pancreatic enzyme leakage. The other findings are nonspecific or normal.
