Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a child for clinical manifestations of iron deficiency anemia. Which factor would the nurse recognize as the cause of the findings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tissue hypoxia. Iron deficiency anemia reduces oxygen-carrying capacity, causing tissue hypoxia.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with irritable bowel syndrome. Which of the following menu selections would be appropriate to offer the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Baked chicken, brown rice, and strawberries are low-FODMAP, suitable for IBS. Beans, yogurt, coffee, and broccoli are high-FODMAP, likely to trigger symptoms.
Question 3 of 5
A client diagnosed with stable angina is being discharged home on the cholesterol-lowering drug rosuvastatin. The nurse should reinforce the need to report which symptom?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Muscle aches or weakness may indicate myopathy or rhabdomyolysis, serious rosuvastatin side effects. Abdominal discomfort, insomnia, and headaches are less specific.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse has taught the parent of a 6-year-old client with bacterial conjunctivitis how to administer ophthalmic medications. Which of the following statements by the parent would indicate a correct understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Appropriate administration of ophthalmic medications (eg, eye drops, ointments) protects eye structures and ensures appropriate distribution across the eye. Ophthalmic ointment should be administered along the lower eyelid, moving from the inner canthus to the outer canthus (inner corner to outer corner) (Option 4). In addition, the medication package (eg, eye dropper, tube of ointment) must not touch the eyes to prevent contamination.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is screening clients for those at risk for developing endometrial cancer. Which of the following clients is at highest risk for developing endometrial cancer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) increase endometrial cancer risk due to excess estrogen from adipose tissue and anovulation. Ectopic pregnancy and births are not significant risk factors.
