Question 1 of 9
The goal for a client with impaired mobility is to prevent atelectasis. What nursing intervention would best help the client meet this goal?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
The client has been asked to perform weight-bearing exercises three times a week. The client admits to not doing the recommended exercises. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The most appropriate response by the nurse is to ask the client to elaborate on their experience with the exercises. By doing so, the nurse can gain insight into any barriers the client may be facing and work together to find solutions to improve adherence. Choice A is not appropriate as it doesn't address the client's situation. Choice C is not relevant and may induce fear in the client. Choice D is directive and does not promote open communication or understanding of the client's perspective.
Question 3 of 9
A nurse is assessing a client with hallux valgus. What is another term for this assessment finding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hallux valgus is commonly known as a bunion, which is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. A) Thoracic deformity is unrelated to hallux valgus. C) A corn is a thickened area of skin on the foot, not synonymous with hallux valgus. D) Metacarpal involvement refers to the hand, not the foot where hallux valgus occurs.
Question 4 of 9
The nurse is assessing a client who had a cast placed 4 hours ago. What assessment finding is cause for concern?
Correct Answer: B

Question 5 of 9
The nurse educates a client about how to reduce their risk for osteoporosis. Which of these statements by the nurse is correct? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 6 of 9
A client has a fractured right arm. What should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should first remove the client's bracelet and rings from the right arm. This action is crucial to prevent complications such as swelling and restricted blood flow, which could worsen the condition. Applying ice, administering pain medications, and sending the client for an x-ray are important steps but should come after ensuring the client's jewelry is removed to avoid any further issues.
Question 7 of 9
What are signs of hearing loss? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 8 of 9
What is the intended outcome for the treatment of glaucoma?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Lower the intraocular pressure. The primary objective of treating glaucoma is to reduce intraocular pressure to prevent further vision loss. Choice A, 'Improve the vision of the eye,' is incorrect because while treatment may prevent vision loss, it does not necessarily improve vision. Choice B, 'Strengthen the muscles of the eye,' is incorrect as glaucoma primarily involves the optic nerve and not muscle weakness. Choice D, 'Dry up excess secretions,' is not related to the treatment goal of glaucoma which is focused on managing intraocular pressure.
Question 9 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.
