Question 1 of 5

A client with HIV has been prescribed anti viral medications. What instructions related to administration of medications should the nurse give such a client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Timing: Antiviral medications should be taken as prescribed to maintain consistent drug levels in the body. 2. Around meals: Taking medications with or without food can affect absorption, so timing around meals helps with consistency. 3. Compliance: Following the timing instructions increases medication effectiveness and reduces the risk of drug resistance. Other Choices: B) Avoiding harsh sunlight: Not directly related to medication administration; may be a precaution for other reasons. C) Having medications with fruit juice: This is not a standard instruction for antiviral medications; may not be suitable for all medications. D) Increasing dose for worsening symptoms: This is dangerous and should only be done under healthcare provider supervision; self-adjusting medication doses can be harmful.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse identifies Fatigue as a health problem and nursing diagnosis for a client receiving home care for metastatic cancer. What statement or question would be best to validate this client problem?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it involves collaboration with the client to validate the identified health problem. By asking the client directly if they agree that fatigue is a problem for them, it promotes client-centered care and empowers the client in their own care. Choice A is incorrect as it assumes the nurse's assessment is enough to confirm fatigue. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on the nurse's analysis rather than the client's experience. Choice C is incorrect because it is a closed-ended question that may not encourage open communication or validation from the client.

Question 4 of 5

A guest who is diabetic attended a bridal affair. The guest started to tremble and started to feel dizzy. Luckily a nurse is present. The best action for the nurse to take is to:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: give the guest a glass of orange juice. This is the best action because the guest is likely experiencing hypoglycemia due to being diabetic. Orange juice contains fast-acting sugar that can quickly raise blood sugar levels. Encouraging the guest to eat some (choice A) may take longer to have an effect. Calling the guest's personal hygiene (choice B) is irrelevant to the situation. Offering the guest a peppermint (choice C) will not effectively raise blood sugar levels.

Question 5 of 5

What deficits would the nurse expect in a right-handed person experiencing a stroke affecting the left side of the cortex?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Expressive aphasia and paralysis on the left side of the body. In a right-handed person, the left side of the brain controls language (Broca's area) and motor function for the right side of the body. A stroke affecting the left side of the cortex would lead to expressive aphasia (difficulty speaking) due to damage to Broca's area and paralysis on the right side of the body due to motor function impairment. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the known neurological functions of the brain regions affected by the stroke.
