Question 1 of 5
In instructing a client on cholesterol, the nurse will teach which of the following things?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Most cholesterol is liver-synthesized, not diet-derived, and is needed, not destroyed intestinally. Nurses clarify this for dietary understanding.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing oxygen therapy to a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which oxygen delivery system would be most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A Venturi mask (B) is most appropriate for COPD, delivering precise oxygen (24-50%) to maintain SpO2 88-92%, avoiding suppression of hypoxic drive. Nasal cannula (A) lacks precision. Non-rebreather (C) risks high oxygen, reducing respiratory drive. Oxygen tent (D) is impractical. Controlled delivery aligns with GOLD standards, balancing oxygenation and CO2 retention.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a face tent. Which action by the nurse is important to ensure proper oxygen delivery?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Frequently checking for condensation (C) in a face tent ensures unobstructed oxygen flow, as buildup reduces delivery. Snug fit (A) restricts airflow in tents. Nose breathing (B) isn't required tents cover both. Q8h SpO2 (D) is too infrequent. Condensation checks, per nursing standards, maintain therapy effectiveness.
Question 4 of 5
A client with schizophrenia is receiving chlorpromazine (Thorazine) 400 mg twice a day. An adverse side effect of the medication is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chlorpromazine, an antipsychotic, can cause elevated temperature as an adverse effect, linked to neuroleptic malignant syndrome or anticholinergic effects disrupting thermoregulation a serious risk requiring monitoring. Photosensitivity, weight gain, or hypertension are possible but less acute. Nurses watch for fever to intervene swiftly, ensuring client safety during schizophrenia treatment.
