Question 1 of 5
The nurse is monitoring fetal heart rate (FHR) on a laboring client. Which finding should be reported to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: FHR of 170 bpm for over 10 minutes indicates tachycardia, requiring immediate reporting. Other findings are within normal or less urgent ranges.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to talk about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to a group of women at a women's fair at the local hospital. Which statements regarding HRT are correct? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: HRT reduces fracture risk by improving bone density. It increases breast cancer, stroke, and CAD risks, and does not decrease CAD risk in non-smokers.
Question 3 of 5
The home care nurse visits a client who had a stroke (brain attack) with resultant unilateral neglect who was recently discharged from the hospital. Which instruction should the nurse provide to the family regarding care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Unilateral neglect involves a lack of awareness of the affected side. Assisting from the affected side helps focus the client's attention on it, promoting awareness. Initially, items are placed on the unaffected side, but gradually shifted. Scanning the environment is encouraged, and grooming the affected side first aids awareness.
Question 4 of 5
A client diagnosed with chronic kidney disease is about to begin hemodialysis therapy. The client asks the nurse about the frequency and scheduling of hemodialysis treatments. What information should the nurse supply to the client regarding the typical hemodialysis schedule?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The typical hemodialysis schedule is 3 to 4 hours, 3 days per week, adjusted based on client size, dialyzer type, blood flow rate, and preferences. Other options do not reflect standard practice.
Question 5 of 5
A client has received a prescription for lisinopril. The nurse teaches the client that which frequent side effect may occur?
Correct Answer: A
