Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is discussing management of nocturnal enuresis with the parent of a 10-year-old client who has had little response to behavioral interventions. The parent tells the nurse, 'My child wants to go to overnight camp in several months but is afraid of being teased by other children if an accident occurs.' Which of the following responses would be most appropriate for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Medications like desmopressin may help manage enuresis for events like camp, addressing the child's concerns.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is offering safety instructions to a parent with a four month-old infant and a four year-old child. Which statement by the parent indicates understanding of appropriate precautions to take with the children?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The infant seat is to be placed on the rear seat. Small children and infants are not to be left unsupervised. Option D indicates supervision and age-appropriate responsibility.
Question 3 of 5
A client is on a low-residue diet. All of the following are on the client's tray. Which should be removed?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Strawberry jam contains seeds, which increase intestinal residue, contraindicated in a low-residue diet. Roast beef, mashed potatoes, and white bread are low-fiber and appropriate.
Question 4 of 5
A client with leukemia has been receiving injections of Neulasta (pegfilgrastim). Which laboratory value reveals that the drug is producing the desired effect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) stimulates the production of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, to reduce the risk of infection in clients with neutropenia. A white blood cell count of 6,000/mm indicates an increase in white blood cells, showing the drug's desired effect. Hemoglobin relates to red blood cells, platelet count relates to clotting, and iron level is unrelated to Neulasta's action.
