Question 1 of 5
If Ms. Barrett's distance vision is 20/30, which of the following statements is true?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When Ms. Barrett's distance vision is measured as 20/30, it means that she can read from 20 feet away what a person with normal vision can read at 30 feet. The numerator (20) represents the distance in feet between the chart and the client, while the denominator (30) indicates the distance at which a normal eye can read the chart. In this case, Ms. Barrett's vision is slightly worse than normal, as she needs to be closer to the chart to read it clearly. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect: Choice B reverses the distances, Choice C assumes the client can read the entire chart from 30 feet, and Choice D introduces information not related to the 20/30 measurement.
Question 2 of 5
Mr. H. is upset about being in the hospital for another day due to the high cost. The rights he is likely to demand include all of the following except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Confidentiality is the maintenance of privacy of information. The question does not suggest that confidentiality has been breached. In this scenario, Mr. H. is concerned about the cost and the length of his stay, which relates to his rights regarding billing, treatment, and response to requests. The right to confidentiality, though important, is not directly related to his current situation of being upset about the high cost and extended stay. Mr. H. is more likely to demand the right to examine and question the bill to understand the charges, the right to reasonable response to requests regarding his care and stay, and the right to refuse treatment if he wishes. Therefore, the correct answer is the right to confidentiality, as it is not a primary concern in this context.
Question 3 of 5
A client states, "I eat a well-balanced diet. I do not smoke. I exercise regularly, and I have a yearly checkup with my physician. What else can I do to help prevent cancer?"? The nurse should respond with which of the following statements?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: All of the choices are methods of preventing cancer. Sleep is important in maintaining homeostasis, which helps the body respond to disease. Monthly breast examination can indicate cancer or fibrocystic disease. Stress can have a physiological response that decreases the immune response and increases the risk of disease. Therefore, all the options mentioned are important for cancer prevention, making 'All of the above' the correct response.
Question 4 of 5
When assessing Mr. Lee's eye condition, what general information should the nurse seek?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When assessing a patient's eye condition, the nurse should seek general information such as the type of employment, activities, allergies, medications, lenses, and protective devices used. This information helps in understanding potential exposures to irritants and risks related to activities. While the presence of burning or itchy sensation in the eyes, position of the eyelids, and existence of floaters are important aspects to assess during a focused eye examination, during the initial assessment, the type of employment is more relevant for understanding possible environmental factors affecting eye health.
Question 5 of 5
When assessing the health-related physical fitness of a client as part of a health assessment, what aspect should be the focus?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When assessing the health-related physical fitness of a client, the primary focus should be on identifying risk factors that could predispose the client to illness or injury. Risk factors are crucial in determining an individual's overall health status and potential health outcomes. While agility, speed, and body composition are important components of physical fitness assessments, they are not the primary focus when assessing health-related physical fitness from a holistic perspective. Therefore, the correct choice is 'risk factors.'
