Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing blood glucose values for a client who is at risk for Diabetes Mellitus. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. A 2-hour glucose tolerance test level of 150 mg/dL is above the normal range and should be reported to the provider as it indicates impaired glucose tolerance. Choice B (Fasting blood glucose 70 mg/dL) is within the normal range. Choice C (Glycosylated hemoglobin 5%) is also within the normal range. Choice D (Casual blood glucose 90 mg/dL) is within the normal range and does not indicate impaired glucose tolerance.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client who has a new diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Which of the following foods or beverages should the nurse recommend to minimize heartburn?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Potatoes are bland and less likely to relax the lower esophageal sphincter, making them a suitable choice to minimize heartburn in clients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Orange juice and peppermint are acidic and can exacerbate GERD symptoms, while coffee, even decaffeinated, can stimulate acid production and worsen heartburn.
Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Corrected Question: A nurse is preparing to teach a group of clients about vitamins and minerals. The nurse should include in the teaching that which of the following minerals is necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses? Correct Answer: Calcium Rationale: Calcium is crucial for nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. It plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the nervous system. Phosphorus is important for bone health and energy metabolism, not nerve impulse transmission. Chloride is an electrolyte important for fluid balance but not directly involved in nerve impulse transmission. Zinc is essential for immune function and wound healing but not specifically required for nerve impulse transmission.

A nurse is caring for a client who has a body mass index (BMI) of 30. Four weeks after nutritional counseling, which of the following evaluation findings indicates the plan of care was followed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A weight loss of 2.7 kg in four weeks indicates effective adherence to a nutritional plan aimed at reducing body mass index (BMI), moving towards a healthier weight.

Question 5 of 5
A client who follows the dietary laws of Orthodox Judaism is being cared for by a nurse. Which of the following meal choices should the nurse request for the client?
Correct Answer: B

The other choices - 'Turkey and cheese sandwich' (mixing meat and dairy), 'Pork chop and applesauce' (contains pork), and 'Scrambled eggs and bacon' (mixing meat and dairy) - do not adhere to the kosher dietary laws.
