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
The nurse recognizes all of the following as type IV hypersensitivity reactions EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Type IV hypersensitivity is cell-mediated (e.g., contact dermatitis, Crohn’s, GVH
D). Penicillin allergy is typically type I (IgE-mediated).
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is performing discharge teaching to a client newly diagnosed with hypertension and high cholesterol. Which statement by the client indicates that the nurse's teaching was effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Substituting lean sirloin for fried chicken reduces fat and cholesterol. Canned foods, soups, and frozen dinners are often high in sodium, unsuitable for hypertension.
Question 4 of 5
A client diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis requires multiple blood transfusions. One of his family members wishes to donate blood. Which of the following conditions would DISQUALIFY someone from donating blood?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Current illness (e.g., cold) disqualifies blood donation due to infection risk. Hyperthyroidism, postpartum (after 6 months), and treated TB (if fully recovered) may not disqualify.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who has oral candidiasis. The nurse should clean the client's mouth using:
