Question 1 of 4
A client is experiencing sleep disturbances and desires to decrease caffeine intake. Which of the following beverages should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should recommend brewed iced tea as it generally contains less caffeine compared to other choices. Lemon-lime soda, diet cola, and chocolate milk all contain caffeine, which can contribute to sleep disturbances. Lemon-lime soda and diet cola are carbonated beverages that typically contain caffeine unless specified as caffeine-free. Chocolate milk also contains caffeine due to the cocoa content. Therefore, brewed iced tea is the most suitable choice to reduce caffeine intake and improve sleep quality.
Question 2 of 4
A nurse is providing dietary teaching for a client who has a burn injury and adheres to a vegan diet. The nurse should recommend which of the following foods as the best source of protein to promote wound healing?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D) One cup of lentils. Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, containing essential amino acids needed for wound healing. Protein is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration, especially in individuals with burn injuries. By choosing lentils, the vegan client can meet their protein requirements to support the healing process effectively. Option A) One cup of brown rice is a good source of carbohydrates but lacks sufficient protein for wound healing. Option B) One cup of orange juice is rich in vitamin C but low in protein. Option C) One cup of pureed avocado is a healthy fat source but is not a significant protein provider. In an educational context, it is important for nurses to understand the specific dietary needs of clients with unique preferences like veganism, as well as medical conditions such as burn injuries. Providing tailored dietary recommendations can significantly impact the healing process and overall health outcomes of the client.
Question 3 of 4
A nurse at a health fair is assessing the weight status of four clients. Which of the following clients is classified as overweight?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher is classified as overweight. Choice B, a male client with a BMI of 29, falls into the overweight category. Choice A, a female client with a BMI of 24, is within the normal range. Choices C and D provide information on waist circumference, which is not sufficient to determine if a client is overweight or not, as waist circumference alone does not provide the overall picture of weight status compared to BMI.
Question 4 of 4
A client with pre-dialysis end-stage kidney disease is being taught about diet. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In pre-dialysis end-stage kidney disease, reducing intake of foods high in potassium is crucial as impaired kidney function can lead to potassium buildup in the blood, which can be dangerous. High potassium levels can cause irregular heartbeats and even cardiac arrest. Therefore, advising the client to reduce potassium-rich foods is essential to prevent complications. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Increasing dietary phosphorus, eliminating foods high in protein, or increasing sodium-containing foods are not appropriate recommendations for a client with pre-dialysis end-stage kidney disease as they can exacerbate the condition.
