Question 1 of 5
A client has acute dysphagia. Which of the following nursing interventions should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing the client in semi-Fowler's position during meals is the correct intervention for a client with acute dysphagia. This position helps prevent aspiration by facilitating swallowing. Providing a straw for consumption of liquids (Choice A) can increase the risk of aspiration and is not recommended for clients with dysphagia. Encouraging larger bites (Choice B) can also increase the risk of choking and aspiration. Instructing the client to tilt the head forward when swallowing (Choice D) is not the recommended technique for managing dysphagia as it does not address the underlying issue effectively.
Question 2 of 5
A client with Crohn's disease is being cared for by a nurse. Which of the following food choices aligns with the recommended diet for clients with Crohn's disease?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is a 'Tossed green salad.' Clients with Crohn's disease often benefit from a low-residue diet, which includes easily digestible foods like leafy green vegetables found in a tossed green salad. This type of diet helps minimize gastrointestinal symptoms. Choices A, B, and D are not ideal for clients with Crohn's disease. Vanilla milkshake, buttered popcorn, and toast with jelly may exacerbate symptoms due to their high fat, fiber, or sugar content, which can be harder to digest.
Question 3 of 5
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 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about food choices with the mother of an 8-month-old infant. Which of the following statements by the mother indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Choice B, 'I will give my child rice cereal and crackers,' indicates a need for further teaching. Infants should not be given crackers at 8 months of age due to the risk of choking. Rice cereal is appropriate for infants, but it should be introduced carefully to avoid digestive issues. Choices A, C, and D are appropriate food choices for an 8-month-old infant, providing a variety of nutrients and textures suitable for their age and developmental stage.
