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: B
Rationale: A low-sodium diet reduces fluid retention in Meniere's disease, alleviating vertigo. Fiber (A,

Question 3 of 5
A 6-year-old child is seen in the physician's office. His mother tells you that for the last few weeks, the child has been urinating frequently, drinking and eating a lot. The nurse determines that the urine specific gravity is 1.004. The child is afebrile. What tests does the nurse expect to be ordered for this client at this time?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and low urine specific gravity (1.004) suggest diabetes mellitus; urine and finger stick glucose tests confirm hyperglycemia. CBC, IVP, or culture are less relevant.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is discussing negativity with the parents of a 30 month-old child. How should the nurse tell the parents to best respond to this behavior?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Use patience and a sense of humor to deal with this behavior. This approach supports the toddler’s developing autonomy.
