Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with Hodgkin's disease who will be receiving radiation therapy. The nurse recognizes that, as a result of the radiation therapy, the client is most likely to experience

Question 4 of 5
An adult has both an oil retention enema and a cleansing enema ordered. The nurse knows that this client is most likely to have which condition/ problem?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Oil retention enemas soften hardened stool, and cleansing enemas remove it, making this combination most appropriate for fecal impaction. Straining, melena, or ulcerative colitis are less likely to require both types of enemas.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is discussing activities to promote language development with the parent of a 2-year-old. Which statement by the parent requires follow-up?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enrolling a 2-year-old in soccer is premature, as it does not directly promote language development and is not age-appropriate. Reading rhyming books and facilitating peer play with toys support language skills.
