Question 1 of 5

A pediatric client is admitted to the hospital for treatment of diarrhea caused by an infection with salmonella. Which of the following most likely contributed to the child's illness?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Turtles are common carriers of Salmonella, which can be transmitted to children through handling, leading to gastrointestinal infection.

Question 2 of 5

What would the nurse expect the admitting assessment to reveal in a client with glomerulonephritis?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Glomerulonephritis often causes hypertension due to fluid retention and renal dysfunction.

Question 3 of 5

A student in a cardiac unit is performing auscultation of a client's heart. The nurse recognizes that the student is performing pulmonic auscultation correctly when the stethoscope is placed:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The pulmonic area is auscultated at the second intercostal space, left of the sternum, where the pulmonary valve sounds are best heard.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is performing discharge diet teaching to a client with a stage 1 decubitus ulcer on the coccyx. Which diet selection by this client would indicate that the client has a clear understanding of the proper diet for healing of a decubitus ulcer?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Healing a decubitus ulcer requires a diet high in protein, vitamins (especially C and
A), and minerals like zinc. Baked chicken (protein), broccoli (vitamin
A), wheat roll (carbohydrates), and orange (vitamin
C) support tissue repair. The other options lack sufficient protein or include high-sugar/fat items that don't aid healing.

Question 5 of 5

A client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is admitted to the respiratory unit. Which physician prescription should the nurse question?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: High-flow oxygen (5 L/min) can suppress the hypoxic drive in COPD clients, risking CO2 retention. Low-flow oxygen (1-2 L/min) is safer and should be questioned.
