Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of Parkinson’s disease.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administering levodopa on an empty stomach enhances absorption, improving motor function in Parkinson’s disease. High-fiber diets prevent constipation, activity is encouraged, and compresses are ineffective for mobility.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of hemophilia.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Factor replacement therapy stops bleeding in hemophilia, relieving joint pain from hemarthrosis. Cold compresses are used, exercise worsens bleeding, and analgesics are supportive.
Question 3 of 5
The newborn infant of an HIV-positive mother is admitted to the nursery.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Standard precautions are the immediate priority to protect staff and others from potential HIV transmission. HIV Test ing and AZT may be considered later, and transfer is unnecessary without clinical indication.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is to administer meperidine hydrochloride (Demerol) 100 mg, atropine sulfate (Atropesol) 0.4 mg, and promethazine hydrochloride (Phenergan) 50 mg IM to a pre-operative client. Which action should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Have the client empty bladder. The first step in the process is to have the client void prior to administering the pre-operative medication. The other actions follow this initial step in this sequence: D, C, B, A. Note: It is much easier to administer IM meds with the side rails down, and then raising them when the nurse is done. Other activities can then be carried out more safely.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has been placed on a hypothermia blanket. What should the nurse include in the care plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Frequent vital signs monitor for hypothermia or cardiovascular instability, and skin assessments prevent pressure injuries or cold burns. Direct blanket contact, prolonged use, or alcohol sponges risk skin damage or ineffective cooling.
