Question 1 of 5
A nurse cares for a toddler who has a decreased appetite, an erratic eating pattern, and fussiness at mealtime. Which recommendation should be made to the parents?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Toddlers prefer the routine of consistent mealtimes. Frequent nutritious planned snacks can replace a meal, but shouldn’t replace a regular sit-down meal. Nibbling and snacking is a way to ensure proper nutrition when appropriate foods are offered. Nutritious snacks include several small pieces of food such as crackers, carrots, sliced cold meat, and raisins.
Question 2 of 5
A client who has severe burns is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which lab value indicates therapeutic effectiveness of TPN?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A serum albumin of 4.0 is within normal and desired range (3.5 to $5.0 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{dL}$ ) and indicates a therapeutic effect of TPN. Nutritional requirements for a client with a severe burn can exceed 5,000 kcal/day. Enteral nutrition is preferred however if the client’s gastrointestinal tract is not functioning or when the nutritional needs cannot be met by oral and enteral feeding, TPN may be required.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse provides education to a client recently diagnosed with Addison's disease. Which symptoms should be discussed? Select one that doesn't apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 1. Salt craving is a manifestation of Addison’s disease related to the reduced aldosterone secretion. 2. Weight loss is a manifestation of Addison’s disease related to decreased cortisol levels. 4. Hypoglycemia is a manifestation of Addison’s disease related to the decreased cortisol levels. 5. Muscle weakness is a manifestation of Addison’s disease resulting from a decrease in aldosterone.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse educator is conducting a parenting class for new guardians of infants. Which of the following statements made by a participant indicates understanding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The document lists A as correct but 130°F is too hot and risks burns; 120°F is safer for infants. Sitting up (B) does not ensure bathtub safety as infants can still drown. The rationale corrects the error: setting the water heater to 120°F prevents scalding but based on the document A is listed as correct requiring clarification in practice.
Question 5 of 5
A client diagnosed with chronic obstructive lung disease who is receiving oxygen at 1.5 liters per minute via nasal cannula is complaining of shortness of breath. What action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For COPD clients pursed-lip breathing (C) helps prolong exhalation keeping airways open and reducing air trapping alleviating shortness of breath. Increasing oxygen (A) risks CO2 retention in COPD and requires physician approval. Lowering to semi-Fowler's (B) may not help and could worsen breathing. Encouraging rapid breathing (D) can increase air trapping and fatigue making C the appropriate action to improve comfort and oxygenation.
