Exam Questions on Respiratory System Questions
Question 1 of 4
A client has been diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB). What action by the nurse takes highest priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because educating the client on adherence to the treatment regimen is the top priority in managing TB. This is crucial to prevent the spread of the disease and ensure successful treatment. Choice B is important for overall health but not the priority. Choice C is important but comes after starting treatment. Choice D is also important but does not directly impact the treatment outcome for TB.
Question 2 of 4
For which client(s) would you assign the nursing care to the new RN under your supervision? (Choose all that apply.)

Clients requiring tracheostomy care (B) or post-lobectomy recovery (C) involve complex care unsuitable for a new RN.
