Extract:


Question 1 of 5

An adult is admitted with advanced cancer of the GI tract. What question must be included in the admission assessment?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Advanced cancer requires discussion of end-of-life preferences. Asking about advance directives ensures the client's wishes are documented, taking priority over dietary preferences, specific CPR desires, or illness understanding.

Question 2 of 5

The best choice for the child following a tonsillectomy is:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A banana Popsicle is soothing, cold, and non-irritating to the surgical site. Liquids like punch or soda may sting, and ice cream is dairy, which can increase mucus.

Question 3 of 5

The doctor has ordered 1 mg of Stadol (butorphanol) to be given IM. The medication is available in 4 mg per mL. The nurse should administer:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Calculate: 1 mg ÷ 4 mg/mL = 0.25 mL. This ensures the correct dose of Stadol is administered.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse learns that an Orthodox Jewish client has not started taking recently prescribed diltiazem extended-release capsules. The client states 'I cannot take the medication in this form.' What is the nurse's first action?
