Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for an older client who had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) several days ago. She is having trouble speaking. How should the nurse relate to this client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Encouraging speech with patience supports recovery in aphasia post-CVA, unlike loud speech, finishing sentences, or voice rest, which hinder communication progress.

Question 2 of 5

A student nurse is caring for a client with iron deficiency anemia who is newly prescribed ferrous sulfate. Which action by the student nurse requires the supervising nurse to intervene?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Calcium inhibits iron absorption, so administering ferrous sulfate with a calcium supplement reduces its effectiveness, requiring intervention.

Question 3 of 5

The physician has recommended that an adult male be scheduled for a left heart catheterization. The client asks the nurse what a cardiac catheterization is for. What information should be included when responding to this client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Left heart catheterization visualizes coronary arteries to assess for blockages, aiding in diagnosing coronary artery disease.

Question 4 of 5

The mother of 6-month-old twins is in the doctor's office because one of the infants has an ear infection. The mother says to the nurse, 'I just don't know if I can handle another problem. It is all so overwhelming.' How should the nurse respond initially?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Acknowledging the mother's stress and exploring her challenges builds rapport and identifies support needs. Other responses dismiss or redirect her concerns.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is caring for a 4-year-old who was hospitalized with influenza. Which nursing action would be most effective to maintain psychosocial integrity?
