Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching the parent of a 7-year-old client with celiac disease. Which statement by the parent would require follow-up?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Barley contains gluten, which is harmful in celiac disease, indicating a need for further teaching. Rice, corn, potatoes, lifelong gluten-free diet, and avoiding processed foods are correct.
Question 3 of 5
A diabetic client asks the nurse why she should use a diaphragm as a method of contraception instead of birth control pills. The best explanation for the use of a diaphragm is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A diaphragm does not affect blood glucose, unlike oral contraceptives, which can alter glycemic control. Oral contraceptives are not ineffective due to glucose levels, diaphragms do not prevent implantation or ovulation, and they are not intrauterine.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse enters a client’s room just as the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is completing a bath and placing thigh-high anti-embolism stockings on the client. Which situation would cause the nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rolling and folding the stockings creates pressure points, risking skin breakdown and poor circulation. Supine application and correct toe opening placement are appropriate.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with bipolar I disorder who is experiencing an acute manic episode. Which of the following meals would be appropriate to offer the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A simple meal like sweet potato, kale, wheat roll, and water minimizes stimulation and is easy to eat during mania. Other meals are more complex or contain caffeine (coffee, tea), which can exacerbate symptoms.
