Question 1 of 5
While planning care for a preschool aged child, the nurse takes developmental needs into consideration. Which of the following would be of the most concern to the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Expressing shame. Preschoolers should show initiative, having resolved shame and doubt in the toddler stage.
Question 2 of 5
An adult who has just been diagnosed with diverticulitis asks the nurse if she will need a special diet. The nurse knows that the client should follow which type of diet?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A low-residue diet minimizes intestinal bulk, reducing irritation in diverticulitis. High protein, low fat, or full liquid diets are not specifically indicated for diverticulitis management.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for clients on a medical/surgical unit and determines that several situations need to be addressed. Which of the following situations should the nurse attend to FIRST?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A nosebleed post-radiation therapy is the least stable situation, as it may indicate a serious complication like tissue damage or coagulopathy, requiring immediate assessment. The daughter’s threat (
A) is administrative, the overdue assistant (
B) is a personnel issue, and the physician’s request (
C) can be delegated, all of which are lower priority.
Question 4 of 5
When caring for a client with urinary incontinence, which content should be reinforced by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Antihistamines can aggravate urinary incontinence and should be avoided by these clients. Holding the urine, avoiding sodium, and restricting fluids have not been shown to reduce urinary incontinence.
Question 5 of 5
A six-month-old client with a ventricular septal defect is receiving Lanoxin elixir for regulation of his heart rate. Which finding should be reported to the doctor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A heart rate of 60 in the six-month-old receiving Lanoxin elixir (digoxin) should be reported immediately because bradycardia is associated with digoxin toxicity. The blood glucose, blood pressure, and respirations are not associated with administration of Lanoxin, so answers A, B, and D are incorrect.
