Question 1 of 9
The following client come to the ophthalmology clinic. Which client needs to be seen first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
A client does not understand why vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible. What is the best explanation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. In glaucoma, the optic nerve damage due to high intraocular pressure leads to permanent vision loss because the nerve fibers do not regenerate. Choice A is incorrect as it discusses bacterial infection, not relevant to glaucoma. Choice B is incorrect because it refers to retinal detachment, not glaucoma. Choice D is incorrect because not all glaucoma cases lead to permanent blindness; vision loss can be prevented or slowed with treatment.
Question 3 of 9
What is the best nursing intervention for a client with limited mobility who cannot move independently?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best nursing intervention for a client with limited mobility who cannot move independently is passive range of motion. Passive range of motion exercises help maintain joint flexibility, prevent contractures, and improve circulation in immobile clients. Choice B, pillows for positioning, may provide comfort but does not address the need for joint movement. Choice C, active range of motion, requires the client's active participation, which is not feasible for someone with limited mobility. Choice D, continuous passive motion, is more commonly used in rehabilitation settings for specific joints and is not typically the primary intervention for overall limited mobility.
Question 4 of 9
What is correct about a nursing diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes. Choice A is correct because it identifies nursing diagnosis as related to human responses to health conditions or life processes. Choice B is incorrect because nursing diagnoses can change as the patient's condition changes. Choice C is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is about responses, not just identifying pathology. Choice D is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is not the same as a disease, illness, or injury; it is a statement about the patient's response to these conditions.
Question 5 of 9
What is a priority intervention when caring for a client in Buck's traction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is to assess skin integrity when caring for a client in Buck's traction. This is crucial as it helps prevent pressure ulcers and other skin-related complications. Choice A is incorrect because changing the size of the traction weights should be done based on healthcare provider orders, not as needed. Choice B is incorrect because discontinuing traction should be done only under healthcare provider direction, not solely based on pain relief. Choice C is incorrect as allowing the traction weights to rest on the floor is not a priority intervention compared to assessing skin integrity.
Question 6 of 9
The nurse is caring for 4 clients. Which of these clients will the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm indicates a potential complication that requires immediate attention to assess and manage. Choices A, B, and D do not present immediate life-threatening situations or emergent needs compared to sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm, which takes priority to ensure the client's safety and comfort.
Question 7 of 9
What evaluation indicates successful progress on the client goal of increasing daily physical activity?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because reporting less fatigue when walking up stairs indicates improved physical endurance, showing progress in increasing daily activity. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because decreased social interaction, increased NSAID use, and experiencing a fall are not indicators of successful progress in increasing daily physical activity.
