Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which laboratory result warrants immediate intervention by the nurse for the female client diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Elevated WBC (15,000) suggests infection or flare in SLE, requiring immediate intervention due to immunosuppression.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client how to use guided imagery. Which information would indicate the teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Visualizing a favorite place is a core component of guided imagery, indicating effective teaching. Chanting, arm rubbing, and music selection are not specific to guided imagery.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis asks the nurse, 'Is it all right for me to wear this copper bracelet to help cure my arthritis?' Which statement by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
