Question 1 of 5
The nurse is developing a care plan for a client diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. Which independent problem has priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ineffective breathing pattern is a priority in allergic rhinitis due to potential airway obstruction. Knowledge, anaphylaxis risk, and coping are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The 26-year-old female client is complaining of a low-grade fever, arthralgias, fatigue, and a facial rash. Which laboratory tests should the nurse expect the HCP to order if SLE is suspected?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CBC and ANA tests detect anemia, leukopenia, and autoantibodies, supporting SLE diagnosis. Metabolic, lipid, and renal tests are less specific initially.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with an acute exacerbation of SLE is prescribed high-dose steroids. Which statement best explains the scientific rationale for using high-dose steroids in treating SLE?

Rationale: Steroids suppress inflammation in SLE, reducing organ damage. They do not fight infection, prevent disease spread, or address skin scarring primarily.
Question 4 of 5
Which assessment data should the nurse assess in the client diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Guillain-Barré syndrome presents with ascending paralysis and numbness due to peripheral nerve demyelination. Startle reflex, rigidity, and facial pain suggest other conditions.
