Safe and Effective Care Environment Nclex PN Questions - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Risk for Injury.' Epileptic clients are at risk for injury due to complications of seizure activity, such as falls that could lead to head trauma. 'Dysreflexia' is not typically associated with epilepsy but rather with spinal cord injury. 'Urinary Retention' is not a common nursing diagnosis for epileptic clients unless specifically indicated. 'Unbalanced Nutrition' may not be a priority nursing diagnosis compared to the immediate risk of injury in epileptic clients.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct response acknowledges the client's anxiety and offers a practical solution to alleviate it, showing empathy and addressing the client's concerns. Offering a sedative to help relax during the test is a proactive approach to managing the client's anxiety.

Choices B and C dismiss the client's feelings by invalidating their anxiety, which can further escalate their distress.
Choice D downplays the client's feelings by implying they should not be worried, which does not effectively address the client's emotional state.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: For individuals with Celiac disease, it's crucial to avoid gluten-containing foods.
Choice C, which includes chicken, rice, apple, and tapioca pudding, is the most suitable option as all these foods are naturally gluten-free. Rice, fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, and tapioca are all safe gluten-free options. Oats can be gluten-free if specially labeled, but many are processed on shared equipment with wheat. Granola often contains oats that may have been exposed to gluten. Dried and prepackaged fruits may contain gluten additives. Rye is a wheat derivative, and cream sauces usually contain flour as a base, making choices A and B inappropriate for individuals with Celiac disease.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'urine.' Urine output is routinely measured to assess renal function and fluid balance.

Choices A, B, and C are types of fluid output that are typically measured in a clinical setting. Chest tube drainage is monitored to evaluate drainage from the chest cavity, emesis refers to vomitus which can indicate gastrointestinal issues, and evaporative water from the respiratory tract is considered insensible loss and is not directly measured but estimated in overall fluid balance assessments.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When assessing a client’s motor skills, it is crucial to evaluate their strength, balance, and coordination as these directly impact their motor abilities. Strength is essential to perform tasks, balance is required for stability, and coordination is necessary for smooth movements. However, knowledge of ergonomics, while beneficial for overall understanding, is not directly related to assessing motor skills. The focus should be on physical abilities rather than theoretical knowledge of ergonomics.
Therefore, testing the client’s knowledge of ergonomics is the least important when evaluating their motor skills.
