Question 1 of 5

The client received electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) an hour ago and tells the nurse that he has a headache. Which response by the nurse is best?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Offering acetaminophen addresses the client's complaint directly and safely, as headaches are a common side effect of ECT. Informing the client that headaches are common does not provide relief, and a nap or unclear commands are not appropriate responses.

Question 2 of 5

An obese diabetic client complains of bilateral leg aching. His physician has referred him to cardiac rehabilitation to start an exercise program. Which of the following activities is most helpful for the client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Stationary cycling is low-impact, suitable for an obese diabetic client, minimizing joint stress while improving cardiovascular health.

Question 3 of 5

A client has been given a prescription to begin using nitroglycerin transdermal patches. The nurse instructs the client about this medication administration system and tells the client to expect which side effect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Nitroglycerin is a coronary vasodilator used in the management of coronary artery disease. A common side effect of this medication is an intense headache. Clients should be instructed about this side effect and that acetaminophen can be helpful in alleviating discomfort. The remaining options are not associated with the use of this medication.

Question 4 of 5

A 4-year-old child is admitted with dehydration due to gastroenteritis. Which assessment finding indicates severe dehydration?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Sunken fontanelles in a young child are a sign of severe dehydration, indicating significant fluid loss requiring urgent rehydration.

Question 5 of 5

A 10-month-old child has cold symptoms. The mother asks how she can clear the infant's nose. Which of the following would be the nurse's best recommendation?
