Question 1 of 5
A client has undergone the Snellen eye chart test and has 20/40 vision. Which of the ff is true for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the Snellen eye chart test, the first number (20) represents the distance at which the client is standing from the chart, while the second number (40) represents the distance at which a person with normal vision can read the same line on the chart. A person with 20/40 vision can see letters at 20 feet that a person with normal vision can see at 40 feet. This means that the client's vision is below the standard for normal vision, indicating that they may need corrective lenses to improve their visual acuity.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is working in a support group for client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Which point is most important for the nurse to stress?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Following safer sex practices is the most important point for the nurse to stress when working in a support group for clients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Safer sex practices, such as using condoms consistently and correctly, can help reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others or acquiring other sexually transmitted infections. While avoiding the use of recreational drugs and alcohol is beneficial for overall health, it is not as crucial as practicing safer sex. Refraining from telling anyone about the diagnosis is not recommended, as social support is important for individuals living with AIDS. Telling potential sex partners about the diagnosis is also essential, not only for ethical reasons but also to prevent the transmission of the virus.

Question 4 of 5
A 52-year old female tells the nurse that she has found a painless lump in her right breast during her monthly self- examination. Which assessment finding would strongly suggest that this client's lump is cancerous?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The assessment finding that strongly suggests that the client's lump is cancerous is a non-mobile mass with irregular edges delineated. Generally, cancerous breast lumps tend to have irregular shapes/edges and lack mobility. This finding is concerning for malignancy because it indicates that the lump is fixed in place and possibly invading nearby tissues, which are characteristics often associated with cancerous tumors. It's essential for the client to undergo further diagnostic tests, such as a biopsy, to confirm the presence of cancer and establish a proper treatment plan.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class about breast self-examinations. A client asks if the she should have an annual mammogram. According to the American Cancer Society, how should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: According to the American Cancer Society, they recommend that all women aged 40 to 44 should have the choice to start annual mammograms if they wish to do so. For women aged 45 to 54, it is recommended to have an annual mammogram. For women aged 55 and older, they can switch to mammograms every two years or continue with annual screenings. Mammograms are an important screening tool for detecting breast cancer early, especially in women over the age of 40 when the risk of developing breast cancer increases.
