Question 2 of 5
Which of the following instructions should be included in the teaching for the client with arthritis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Taking anti-inflammatory medications with meals reduces gastrointestinal irritation, a key teaching point for arthritis management. Exercise and weight-bearing activities are encouraged, and heat/cold alternation is not universally recommended.
Question 3 of 5
A client's blood gasses are as follows: pH=7.32, pCO2=62, HCO3=30, and pO2=62. The best interpretation is that the client has which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Low pH and high pCO2 indicate respiratory acidosis, likely from CO2 retention, with HCO3 compensating.
Question 4 of 5
A male client is preparing for discharge following an acute myocardial infarction. He asks the nurse about his sexual activity once he is home. What would be the nurse's initial response?
Correct Answer: D

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is talking with an adult who says she has chronic constipation. What suggestion would probably be most helpful to the client?
