Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client approaches the nurse about a weight-loss program. Which complementary therapy should the nurse suggest to assist the client's plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hatha yoga promotes physical activity and mindfulness, supporting weight loss. Music therapy, hypnotherapy, and Alexander technique are less directly linked to weight management.
Question 2 of 5
The client is being evaluated to rule out Parkinson's disease. Which diagnostic test confirms this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Parkinson’s is diagnosed clinically; no definitive test (MRI, biopsy, or surgery) confirms it, per AAN guidelines.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching the elderly client about taking oral iron supplements. Which intervention should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
