Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client is going to have an endoscopy performed. Which of the following is not a probable reason for an endoscopy procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bowel movement pain should be examined with a colonoscopy not an endoscopy.
Question 2 of 5
An adult is taking digoxin and furosemide. Which laboratory value is of greatest concern to the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide, a diuretic, can cause hypokalemia (low potassium), increasing the risk of digoxin toxicity. A serum K+ of 3.0 mEq/L is below normal (3.5-5.0 mEq/L), posing a significant risk. The digoxin level is therapeutic (0.5-2.0 ng/mL), and BUN and Mg are within normal ranges.
Question 3 of 5
A victim of domestic violence states to the nurse, 'If only I could change and be how my companion wants me to be, I know things would be different.' Which would be the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Batterers lose self-control because of their own internal reasons, not because of what their partner did or did not do. This clarifies that the abuser is responsible for the violence.
Question 4 of 5
The care of which of the following clients can the nurse safely delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This client is stable with no risk of instability as compared to the other clients. The client has a chronic condition and needs supportive care, which is appropriate for a UAP.
