Extract:
Question 1 of 5
An older adult is diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma. Which comment by the client indicates understanding of the management of the condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Daily eye drops control intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma, a chronic condition, indicating understanding, unlike expecting a cure, contagiousness, or immediate surgery.
Question 2 of 5
A staff nurse complains to the nurse manager that an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) consistently leaves the work area untidy and does not restock supplies. The best initial response by the nurse manager is which of these statements?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Helping staff manage conflict is part of the manager's role. It is appropriate to urge the nurse to confront the other staff member to work out problems without a manager's intervention when possible.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reviewing teaching with the parents of a child who has tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp) and is newly prescribed griseofulvin oral suspension and 1% selenium sulfide shampoo. Which statement by the child's parent requires the nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Griseofulvin requires a full course (6-8 weeks) to eradicate tinea capitis, even if symptoms resolve, to prevent recurrence. High-fat foods enhance absorption, photosensitivity is a side effect, and shampoo use a few times weekly is appropriate.
