Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client in the family planning clinic asks the nurse about the most likely time for her to conceive. The nurse explains that conception is most likely to occur when:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Conception is most likely during ovulation triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH). Low estrogen thin endometrium or low progesterone are not associated with ovulation.
Question 2 of 5
A mother came to the pediatric clinic with her 17-month-old child. The mother would like to begin toilet training. What should the nurse teach her about implementing toilet training?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Giving her toys will distract her and interfere with toilet training because of inappropriate reinforcement. A child-sized toilet seat or training potty gives a child a feeling of security. She should use words that are age appropriate for the child. Children should be praised for cooperative behavior and/or successful evacuation.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of Parkinson’s disease. The nurse should give priority to:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Parkinson’s disease causes bradykinesia and rigidity, increasing fall risk, so monitoring for falls is the priority.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing and getting a history from a client treated for depression with a monoamine oxidase (MAO) antidepressant. The most serious side effect associated with this antidepressant and the ingestion of tyramine in aged foods may be:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most serious adverse reactions of MAO inhibitors involve blood pressure and ingestion of tyramine-containing foods, which may provoke a hypertensive crisis. MAO inhibitors cause adverse reactions affecting the central nervous system and serious adverse reactions involving blood pressure. MAO inhibitors affect neurotransmitters and may produce hypotensive reactions, but hypertensive crisis is the primary concern with tyramine. Gastrointestinal side effects may occur, but they are not the most serious adverse reactions.
