Extract:


Question 1 of 5

An obese 85-year-old client, who is an avid gardener and eats only home-grown fruits, legumes, and vegetables, is admitted to the hospital with pneumonia after having an upper respiratory tract infection for a week. Which factor puts the client at greatest risk for developing pneumonia?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Advanced age (85 years) is the greatest risk factor for pneumonia due to weakened immune response and comorbidities. Other factors are less significant.

Question 2 of 5

A blood transfusion has just been started on an adult. Which assessment is most essential during the first hour?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Temperature monitoring detects febrile transfusion reactions, a common early complication, prioritizing patient safety.

Question 3 of 5

An adult admitted for surgery also is diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The client spends most of her time in the bathroom washing her hands. The client is scheduled for surgery at 8:00 A.M. and is to be premedicated at 7:00 A.M. Which nursing action will be most appropriate?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Providing a wash basin accommodates her OCD hand-washing ritual, reducing anxiety post-medication while ensuring she remains in bed.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for nalbuphine 10 mg/70 kg subcutaneously once. The client weighs 187 lb (85 kg). The nurse has nalbuphine 10 mg/1 mL available. How many mL should the nurse administer to the client? Record your answer using 1 decimal place.

Correct Answer: 1.2

Rationale: Dose = (10 mg/70 kg) × 85 kg = 12.14 mg. Volume = 12.14 mg ÷ 10 mg/mL = 1.2 mL.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is measuring the uterine fundal height of a client at 36 weeks gestation lying in a supine position. The client suddenly reports dizziness, and the nurse observes pallor and damp, cool skin. What should the nurse do first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Symptoms suggest supine hypotensive syndrome; turning the client to a lateral position relieves uterine pressure on the vena cava, improving blood flow.
