Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a history of diverticulitis. Which meal selection indicates that the client understands the dietary teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Clients with diverticulitis should follow a low-residue diet during flare-ups to reduce bowel irritation. Baked chicken, rice, and an apple are low in fiber and suitable. The other options contain high-fiber or irritating foods (e.g., spinach, whole wheat, garlic).

Question 2 of 5

Which finding in the patient's history contraindicates the use of Imitrex (sumatriptan) for the prevention of migraine headaches?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Sumatriptan (Imitrex) is a vasoconstrictor contraindicated in patients with angina due to the risk of coronary artery vasoconstriction and ischemia. Diabetes renal calculi and peptic ulcer disease are not contraindications for sumatriptan.

The nurse is caring for a client with a history of schizophrenia. Which medication is most likely to be prescribed?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Risperidone, an antipsychotic, is used to treat schizophrenia by managing hallucinations and delusions. Fluoxetine and bupropion are antidepressants, and clonazepam is for anxiety.
