Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A student nurse is developing a care plan for a 23-year-old woman with Meniere's disease. Which of the following would NOT be an expected intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Meniere’s disease causes vertigo and hearing loss, not typically requiring narcotic pain medication. Low-sodium diets, assistance with mobility, and balanced meals help manage symptoms.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to mix and administer chemotherapy. What equipment would be unnecessary to obtain?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chemotherapy requires protective equipment (gloves, gown, Luer lok tubing to prevent leaks), but a surgical hat cover is unnecessary unless in a sterile field, which isn't typical for chemo administration.
Question 3 of 5
A client with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is admitted with an acute exacerbation. The nurse notes that the client has a respiratory rate of 28 breaths per minute, is using accessory muscles, and has oxygen saturation of 88% on 2 L/min of oxygen via nasal cannula. Which of the following actions should the nurse take FIRST?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: positioning in high Fowler’s facilitates breathing and improves oxygenation immediately; other actions may follow based on further assessment
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A soft gauze pad is gentle and effective for cleaning the mouth in oral candidiasis without causing trauma.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse recognizes that if eaten by a client, which food can alter results when stool is checked for occult blood?
