Extract:
Question 1 of 5

Rationale: Sliced bananas. Finger foods should be bite-size pieces of soft food such as bananas. Hot dogs and grapes can accidentally be swallowed whole and-mile occlude the airway. Popcorn is too difficult to chew at this age and can irritate the airway if swallowed.
Question 2 of 5
The physician has prescribed hydralazine (Apresoline) for a client with acute glomerulonephritis. Which finding indicates that the drug is having the desired effect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Apresoline (hydralazine) is an antihypertensive; therefore, a decrease in blood pressure indicates the medication is working. Answers A, B, and D indicate that the overall condition of the client is improving, but they are not the result of the medication.
Question 3 of 5
In addition to standard precautions, a nurse should implement contact precautions for which client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 60 year-old with herpes simplex. Clients who have herpes simplex infections must have contact precautions in addition to standard precautions because of the associated, potentially weeping, skin lesions.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is to remove an indwelling urinary catheter from an adult client. Which step should be done first?
Correct Answer: B
