Question 2 of 5
A client with a new diagnosis of hypertension is receiving teaching from a healthcare provider. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'I will decrease my intake of sodium.' Lowering sodium intake is essential in managing hypertension as it helps reduce blood pressure levels.

Question 3 of 5
A client has a prescription for a 24-hour urine collection. Which of the following actions should be taken by the healthcare provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Discarding the first voiding is necessary when initiating a 24-hour urine collection to ensure that the collection starts with an empty bladder. This step helps in obtaining an accurate measurement of substances excreted over the 24-hour period without any carryover from the previous voids. Keeping the urine at room temperature or in a sterile container is not specific to the initiation of the collection. Therefore, the correct action is to discard the first voiding.
Question 4 of 5
A healthcare professional is assessing a client who has chronic pain. Which of the following findings should the healthcare professional expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Chronic pain is associated with various psychological effects, including depression. Clients experiencing chronic pain may develop feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and despair, which are characteristic of depression. It is essential for healthcare professionals to recognize and address these psychological impacts when caring for clients with chronic pain.
Question 5 of 5
A healthcare professional is preparing to administer an intradermal injection. Which of the following actions should the professional take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When administering an intradermal injection, a tuberculin syringe is the appropriate choice due to its small size and precise measurement markings, which are essential for accurately delivering the medication into the dermis layer of the skin. Using a 1-inch needle (choice A) is more common for subcutaneous injections, while inserting the needle at a 45-degree angle (choice B) is typical for intramuscular injections. Aspirating before injecting (choice D) is not necessary for intradermal injections, as the goal is to deliver the medication into the dermis rather than a blood vessel.
