Question 1 of 5
A healthcare provider is assessing a client for allergies before administering propofol. Which of the following allergies is a contraindication to the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 3 retries using GPT-3.5.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department completes an assessment on an adolescent client with conduct disorder. The client threatened suicide to a teacher at school. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Tell me how often you drink alcohol.' Alcohol use can exacerbate aggressive behaviors and is relevant for the assessment of suicide risk in adolescents with conduct disorders. Choices A, B, and D are unrelated to the assessment of suicide risk in this scenario and do not provide information that directly impacts the client's risk assessment.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is observing bonding between the client and her newborn. Which of the following actions by the client requires the nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because viewing the newborn's actions as uncooperative indicates a negative interaction with the newborn and suggests impaired bonding, which requires intervention. Choices A, B, and C are not indicative of impaired bonding. Holding the newborn in an en face position is a positive way to bond with the baby. Asking the father to change the diaper shows involvement of both parents in caring for the newborn, which is beneficial for bonding. Requesting the nurse to take the newborn to the nursery so the mother can rest is a normal request and does not necessarily indicate impaired bonding.
Question 4 of 5
A client is taking levothyroxine. Which of the following findings should indicate that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Weight loss. Levothyroxine is used to treat hypothyroidism, which is characterized by symptoms such as weight gain. Therefore, weight loss in a client taking levothyroxine indicates that the medication is effective in managing hypothyroidism. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because levothyroxine primarily affects thyroid function and metabolism, not blood pressure, seizures, or inflammation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning discharge teaching for cord care for the parent of a newborn. Which instructions would you include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct instruction to include in the teaching for cord care is to keep the cord dry until it falls off naturally. This helps prevent infection, as the cord typically falls off in 10-14 days, not within five days. Instructing the parent to contact the provider if the cord turns black (Choice A) is important to monitor for signs of infection. Cleaning the base of the cord with hydrogen peroxide daily (Choice B) is not recommended as it can delay healing. Stating that the cord stump will fall off in ten days (Choice D) provides a more accurate timeframe compared to the initial estimation of five days.
