Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with a brain tumor who had radiation treatment and developed alopecia asks, 'When will my hair grow back?' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Radiation-induced alopecia may be permanent or take months to regrow, depending on dose; honesty prepares the client.
Question 2 of 5
The occupational health nurse is caring for the client with a superficial burn on the arm. The client states a preference to use holistic natural medication. Which medicinal plant should the nurse recommend to the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Aloe vera is widely used for its soothing, healing properties on burns, aligning with holistic preferences. Black cohosh, fennel, and witch hazel are less effective for burns.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is providing preoperative teaching about pain management techniques for the client having surgery. The client has a history of drug abuse. What should the nurse include in this client's plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Complementary therapies (e.g., guided imagery) supplement medications, ensuring adequate pain control without over-reliance on drugs, considering abuse history. Assumptions, replacing medications, or doubling doses are unsafe.

Which intervention will help prevent the nurse from being sued for malpractice throughout his or her professional practice?

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is admitting a female client to the medical-surgical unit when the client tells the nurse she takes many vitamins to keep her healthy. Which statement is the nurse's most appropriate response to the information provided by the client?
