Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a history of Crohn’s disease. Which dietary recommendation is most appropriate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A low-residue diet reduces bowel irritation in Crohn’s disease, minimizing symptoms like diarrhea. High-fiber diets exacerbate symptoms, and high-fat or low-protein diets are not indicated.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a recent laparoscopic hemicolectomy. Which finding should be reported to the physician?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Increasing abdominal girth post-hemicolectomy may indicate complications like bleeding, ileus, or perforation, requiring immediate physician notification. Sluggish bowel sounds, umbilical pain, and liquid stool are expected early post-op.

Question 3 of 5

The client is admitted to the unit with a diagnosis of abruptio placenta. Which finding is most significant when assessing this client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Abruptio placenta involves placental separation which can compromise fetal oxygenation leading to abnormal fetal heart tones (e.g. bradycardia or late decelerations). This is the most significant finding as it indicates fetal distress. Bleeding pain and rigidity are relevant but secondary to fetal well-being.

B) is early, and stridor (
D) is an earlier obstructive sign.

Question 5 of 5
