Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client with a history of substance abuse presents to the emergency department complaining of right flank pain, and the urinalysis indicates microscopic blood. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Flank pain with hematuria suggests a renal issue (e.g., stones); pain medication is the priority.
Question 2 of 5
The client diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease is being discharged. Which nursing task can be delegated to a trained unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cleaning the room is within UAP scope, unlike teaching, IV removal, or lab monitoring.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse at the Family Planning Clinic is preparing a discussion for students attending a community college about contraception and methods to prevent pregnancy. Which information should the nurse include in the presentation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Condoms prevent STDs, a key public health message for students. Annual exams are recommended but secondary, hormonal delivery methods are specific, and not all contraception requires prescriptions (e.g., condoms).
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer is receiving chemotherapy. Which laboratory value should the nurse assess prior to administering the chemotherapy?

Rationale: CBC assesses bone marrow suppression (e.g., neutropenia, anemia), a chemotherapy risk, ensuring safe administration.
