Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client comes to the emergency department complaining of pain in the right forearm. The nurse notes a large area of redness and edema over the forearm, and the client has an elevated temperature. Which condition should the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Redness, edema, and fever suggest cellulitis, a bacterial skin infection, the most likely diagnosis.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on sexually transmitted diseases to high school sophomores. Which information should be included in the discussion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Unprotected sex increases STD risk (e.g., HIV, chlamydia), a key teaching point for adolescents, per CDC guidelines.
Question 3 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse implement when discussing health promotion activities for a client with a German heritage who leads a sedentary lifestyle?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A sedentary lifestyle increases cardiovascular risks; identifying an exercise program promotes health, tailored to the client’s needs. Support groups, alcohol abstinence, and food restrictions are less prioritized without specific indications.
Question 4 of 5
The client is diagnosed with an acute exacerbation of Crohn's disease. Which assessment data warrant immediate attention?
