Extract:
A client in an outpatient pain management clinic reports that their leg pain began 1 year ago after an injury that affected the spinal nerves. The pain has an intense sharp quality 'like an electric shock'. The client rates the pain level 9 on (0-10) scale after taking opioids & non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and receiving acupuncture.
Question 1 of 5
What are appropriate descriptors of the pain for the nurse to document? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: The correct descriptors for pain in this case are chronic, intractable, and neuropathic. Chronic pain lasts for a prolonged period, intractable pain is difficult to manage, and neuropathic pain results from nerve damage. Visceral pain relates to internal organs, not appropriate here. Cutaneous pain refers to skin, not relevant.
Extract:
The client's urine is cloudy, amber, and has an unpleasant odor.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse should make the inference that the client may have:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: a urinary tract infection. The nurse should consider a UTI as a possible cause of the client's symptoms. UTI can lead to urinary incontinence, frequency, urgency, and dysuria. Other choices are incorrect because functional incontinence (
A) is typically due to physical or cognitive impairment, ketone bodies in the urine (
C) suggest diabetic ketoacidosis, and nocturia (
D) is waking up at night to urinate, which may not be the primary concern in this case.
Extract:
None
Question 3 of 5
The nurse knows that the difference between 'spirituality' and 'religion' is that spirituality:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because spirituality does not necessarily include religion. Spirituality is a broader concept that encompasses an individual's personal connection to something greater than themselves, which may or may not be related to organized religion.
Choice A is incorrect because spirituality can exist independently of any religious connotation.
Choice B is incorrect as spirituality is often seen as a broader concept that includes religion but is not limited to it.
Choice D is incorrect as spirituality is not solely created by humans to define ethical conduct. Overall, the key distinction is that spirituality can exist without religion, making choice C the correct answer.
Extract:

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is completing an admission assessment. The client reports a 2-day history of hematuria. Which term describes this assessment finding?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: blood in urine. Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in the urine, which is indicated by red or pink discoloration. Cloudy urine (
A) typically indicates the presence of pus or bacteria. Protein in the urine (
B) is known as proteinuria and suggests kidney damage. Difficult urination (
C) is termed dysuria and indicates pain or discomfort during urination. In summary, hematuria specifically refers to blood in the urine, while the other choices describe different urinary findings.
Extract:
None
Question 5 of 5
Which food item should the nurse instruct the patient to consume to prevent or treat constipation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Fruit and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber, which helps promote bowel regularity and prevent constipation. Fiber adds bulk to the stool, making it easier to pass. Additionally, fruits and vegetables contain natural sugars and fluids that aid in digestion.
Choice A (Milk and cheese) are low in fiber and can actually contribute to constipation for some individuals.
Choice B (Lean meats) do not contain fiber, which is essential for preventing constipation.
Choice D (Bread and pasta) may provide some fiber, but it is not as effective as the fiber found in fruits and vegetables.
