Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is receiving intravenous fluid therapy. Which observation needs to be reported to the charge nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A cool, blanched infusion site suggests infiltration or extravasation, requiring immediate reporting to prevent tissue damage. Cool fluid sensation, tape, or ambulation are normal.
Question 2 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?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber, promoting bowel regularity and alleviating constipation. Rice is low-fiber, Lomotil slows motility, and limiting fluids to meals can worsen constipation.
Question 3 of 5
An adult who is on an American Dietetic Association (ADA) diabetic diet tells the nurse that she will not eat the asparagus that is on her tray. What would be an appropriate substitute for the nurse to offer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Broccoli, like asparagus, is a non-starchy vegetable, fitting the ADA diabetic diet's emphasis on low-glycemic foods. Corn, peas, and beets are higher in carbohydrates.
