Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which diagnostic test should the nurse expect to be ordered for the client who has a nevus which is purple and brown with irregular borders?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A suspicious nevus with irregular borders requires a skin biopsy to rule out melanoma, the standard diagnostic test.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse writes the goal 'the client will list three (3) food sources of vitamin B12' for the client diagnosed with pernicious anemia. Which foods listed by the client indicate the goal has been met?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Liver, cheese, and eggs are rich in vitamin B12, essential for pernicious anemia treatment.
Question 3 of 5
Which question should the nurse ask the client who is being admitted to rule out infective endocarditis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Valve replacement is a major risk for endocarditis, making this the most relevant question.
Question 4 of 5
Which method of birth control would the nurse recommend for the homeless client who has had two (2) unplanned pregnancies?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Subdermal implants (e.g., Nexplanon) are long-acting, low-maintenance, and highly effective, ideal for a homeless client with adherence challenges. Cervical caps, pills, and injections require more effort.
Question 5 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse implement when discussing health promotion activities for a client with a German heritage who leads a sedentary lifestyle?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A sedentary lifestyle increases cardiovascular risks; identifying an exercise program promotes health, tailored to the client’s needs. Support groups, alcohol abstinence, and food restrictions are less prioritized without specific indications.
