Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse has taught Kegel exercises to the client who is para 5, gravida 5. Which information indicates the exercises have been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles, reducing stress incontinence, the primary goal in multiparous women.
Question 2 of 5
Which method of birth control would the nurse recommend for the homeless client who has had two (2) unplanned pregnancies?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Subdermal implants (e.g., Nexplanon) are long-acting, low-maintenance, and highly effective, ideal for a homeless client with adherence challenges. Cervical caps, pills, and injections require more effort.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client in the rehabilitation unit who is hearing impaired, is anxious, and has elevated blood pressure. The client enjoys pet therapy but is allergic to dogs and cats. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A fish in a bowl provides a calming, visual form of pet therapy without allergy risks. Antihistamines pose risks, extra visits don’t address pet therapy, and a radio is unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for the surgical client who is experiencing pain at a '4' on a 1-to-10 pain scale and is receiving pain medication via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Which intervention should the nurse implement first to assist the client's pain management?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Guided imagery enhances relaxation, complementing PCA for moderate pain (4/10), a non-invasive first step. Notifying HCP, reassuring, or family PCA use are premature or unsafe.
