Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of falls.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A night light in the bathroom reduces fall risk by improving visibility during nighttime ambulation, a common time for falls. High bed positions and bed rest increase fall risk, and fluid restriction is unrelated to fall prevention.
Question 2 of 5

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Contacting the attending physician via the medical record is appropriate due to the possibility of melanoma.
Question 3 of 5
When assessing a client who has just undergone a cardioversion, the practical nurse (LPN) finds the respirations are 12/minute. Which action should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Continue to monitor respirations. A rate of 12/minute is acceptable post-cardioversion, requiring no immediate intervention.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of anxiety disorder.

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is performing discharge teaching for a client with Addison’s disease.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Steroid replacement is critical for Addison’s disease to manage adrenal insufficiency and prevent life-threatening crises. Infection, fluid balance, and seizures are secondary concerns compared to ensuring steroid therapy adherence.
