Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client about the use of aspirin. Which of the following should be included?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Monitor for signs of bleeding.' Aspirin is known to increase the risk of bleeding, so clients should be monitored for this potential side effect.
Choice A is incorrect because aspirin is not typically associated with causing drowsiness.
Choice B is not a specific consideration for aspirin use; it is not necessary to take it with food.
Choice D is incorrect because aspirin is not considered safe during pregnancy and should be avoided, especially in the third trimester, as it may cause complications for the mother and the baby.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a patient who follows the Mormon belief system. What modifications should the nurse include to meet Mormon dietary practices?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Offer non-caffeinated beverage options. Mormons avoid caffeinated beverages, so providing non-caffeinated options aligns with their religious practices.
Choice A is incorrect because offering only vegetarian meal options is not a specific requirement of the Mormon dietary practices.
Choice C is incorrect as kosher meals are associated with Jewish dietary laws, not specific to the Mormon belief system.
Choice D is incorrect as limiting meat to only fish and poultry is not a specific dietary requirement for Mormons.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client prescribed ferrous sulfate for the treatment of anemia. Which of the following instructions should be included in client teaching about this medication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct instruction for a client prescribed ferrous sulfate for anemia is to take the medication on an empty stomach. This is because ferrous sulfate is best absorbed in an acidic environment, which is enhanced on an empty stomach. However, if the client experiences gastrointestinal side effects, they can take the medication with food.
Choice B, notifying the provider if stool becomes dark green, is correct because dark or black stools are common with iron therapy and not a cause for concern.
Choice C, decreasing dietary fiber intake, is incorrect as dietary fiber does not interfere with the absorption of ferrous sulfate.
Choice D, taking prescribed antacids at the same time, is incorrect as antacids can decrease the absorption of ferrous sulfate.

Question 4 of 5

A client who signed an informed consent form for surgery but has since expressed doubts about the need for surgery should discuss concerns with the surgeon to obtain informed answers. Which statement should the nurse make?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the nurse should facilitate communication between the client and the surgeon to address any doubts and provide necessary information.
Choice A may invalidate the client's concerns and might not address the root of the issue.
Choice B oversimplifies the situation and might not consider the potential consequences of canceling surgery.
Choice D, while offering an alternative, does not address the client's doubts about the surgery.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is reviewing psychosocial stages of development for a school-age child. What would be an expected behavioral finding for this child?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. School-age children (6-12 years) are in Erikson's stage of industry vs. inferiority. During this stage, they strive to develop a sense of industry through learning and socialization. They seek to excel in various areas, such as schoolwork or activities, and look for approval from peers and adults.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because personalizing values and beliefs, developing personal identity influenced by family expectations, and feeling guilty for inability to accomplish tasks are not typical behavioral findings for a school-age child in the context of psychosocial development.
