A client receives a painkiller. Thirty minutes later, the nurse asks the client if the pain is relieved. Which step of the nursing process the nurse is using?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Asking about pain relief evaluates the effectiveness of the painkiller (D). Assessment (A) gathers data, diagnosis (B) identifies problems, and implementation (C) is the action taken.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Hyperparathyroidism increases calcium levels, risking kidney stones; forcing fluids (C) helps flush calcium and prevent stones. Fluid restriction (A) worsens this, and sodium (B) or potassium (D) aren’t primary concerns.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis follows Streptococcus (A) infection (e.g., impetigo), causing immune-mediated kidney damage. Other bacteria (B, C, D) are less commonly implicated.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Furosemide, a potassium-wasting diuretic, risks hypokalemia (C), which can cause arrhythmias. It lowers BP (not A), reduces volume (not B), and may lower sodium (not D).

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: World Cancer Day is February 4 (C), focusing on cancer awareness and prevention.
