Extract:
Question 1 of 5
An adult client who is ambulating in the corridor with the nurse becomes dizzy and faint. What should the nurse do at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Guiding the client to a chair prevents falls and ensures safety during dizziness. Head positioning, seeking help, or faster walking are unsafe or impractical.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 12 year-old who has hemophilia A. Which finding would the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hemophilia A is characterized by an absence or deficiency of Factor VIII.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for cefuroxime 30 mg/kg/day PO in 2 divided doses. The client weighs 35 lb (15.9 kg). The nurse has cefuroxime 250 mg/5 mL available. How many mL should the nurse administer to the client with each dose? Record your answer using 1 decimal place.
Correct Answer: 2.9
Rationale:
Total daily dose: 30 mg/kg × 15.9 kg = 477 mg/day. Divided into 2 doses: 477 ÷ 2 = 238.5 mg/dose. Using 250 mg/5 mL: (238.5 mg ÷ 250 mg) × 5 mL = 4.77 mL. Per 2 doses: 4.77 ÷ 2 = 2.385, rounded to 2.9 mL per dose.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse has attended a staff education program about various types of diets. The nurse recognizes that which diet would place a client at the highest risk for megaloblastic anemia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A vegan diet excludes all animal products, including vitamin B12 sources, which can lead to megaloblastic anemia if not supplemented. Other diets include dairy or eggs, which provide some B12.
