Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following age-related changes affect the vision of the elderly client?
Correct Answer: B, C, E
Rationale: Age-related vision changes include decreased lens elasticity (
B), lens discoloration (

Question 2 of 5
A four-year-old with cystic fibrosis has a prescription for Creon (pancrelipase). The medication is given to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Creon (pancrelipase) replaces pancreatic enzymes in cystic fibrosis patients, aiding digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It does not affect respiratory secretions, clotting, or nasal polyps.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of asthma. Which medication should the nurse anticipate being ordered for an acute asthma attack?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Albuterol, a short-acting beta-agonist, is the first-line treatment for acute asthma attacks, providing rapid bronchodilation. Prednisone is for long-term control, theophylline is less commonly used, and montelukast is for maintenance therapy.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client with suspected hypercalcemia. Which finding is most consistent with this condition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hypercalcemia causes constipation due to reduced gastrointestinal motility. Muscle weakness, hypotension, and bradypnea are more common than hypertension or tachypnea.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 2-year-old girl with a subdural hematoma of the temporal area as a result of falling out of bed and notices that she has a runny nose. The nurse should:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nasal discharge could be due to a cold. It is necessary to gather additional assessment data to identify a possible cerebrospinal fluid leak. If the discharge is cerebrospinal fluid, it would not be safe to encourage the girl to blow her nose. Cerebrospinal fluid is positive for sugar; mucus is not. Turning her to her side will have no effect on her 'runny nose.' It is necessary to gather further assessment data.
