Question 1 of 5
A nurse at a provider's office is providing teaching to a client who is taking chemotherapy and losing weight. Which of the following should the nurse recommend to increase calorie and protein intake? (SATA)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Topping fruits with yogurt is the correct recommendation to increase calorie and protein intake for a client on chemotherapy who is losing weight. Yogurt is a good source of protein and adding it to fruits can provide additional calories as well. Choice B, adding cream to soups, may increase calorie intake but does not specifically address protein needs. Choice C, increasing fluids during meals, is important for hydration but does not directly address calorie and protein intake. Choice D, using milk instead of water in recipes, may increase calorie content but does not focus on increasing protein intake, which is essential for clients on chemotherapy.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is evaluating a client who had a cardiac catheterization with a left antecubital insertion site. Which of the following pulses should the nurse palpate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is to palpate the radial pulse in the left arm. When the antecubital insertion site is on the left side, it is important to assess the radial pulse on the same side to monitor circulation accurately. Palpating the brachial pulse in the right or left arm or the radial pulse in the right arm would not provide direct information about the circulation related to the catheterization site.

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the parent of a child who is receiving oral nystatin for oral candidiasis. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because swabbing the inside of the child's mouth with the nystatin solution is the correct administration method for treating oral candidiasis. Mixing the medication with applesauce or providing a snack with it is not the recommended method of administration. Storing the medication in the refrigerator is also unnecessary and not part of the proper administration instructions.
Question 5 of 5
A client with hyperthyroidism is prescribed propranolol. Which finding indicates that the propranolol is effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a decrease in blood pressure is an expected outcome when propranolol, a beta-blocker, is effectively managing hyperthyroidism. Propranolol helps control symptoms such as tachycardia and hypertension associated with hyperthyroidism. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because weight gain, increased energy, and an increased respiratory rate are not direct indicators of propranolol's effectiveness in treating hyperthyroidism.
