Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
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 states, "the doctor says I am nearsighted. I do not get it." What would be the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct response is to explain to the client what nearsightedness means, which is having difficulty seeing distant objects, as known as myopia. Choice A is not helpful as changing doctors is not necessary for this situation. Choice C is premature as wearing glasses is a possible solution but not the only one. Choice D is incorrect as nearsightedness (myopia) often requires glasses for correction.
Question 3 of 9
Why is traction used?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Traction is used to help align the bones properly during the healing process. Choice A is correct because traction assists in allowing the bones to realign correctly, promoting proper healing. Choice B is incorrect as traction does not decrease the risk of misalignment; instead, it helps reduce misalignment by aiding in bone alignment. Choice C is incorrect because while traction indirectly supports wound healing by ensuring proper bone alignment, its primary purpose is not wound healing. Choice D is incorrect as the primary purpose of traction is not to allow the client to rest longer, but rather to aid in bone alignment for optimal healing.
Question 4 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 5 of 9
What health teaching would not help an older adult avoid a musculoskeletal injury?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 6 of 9
What is an example of proper body mechanics when lifting?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 7 of 9
Which nonpharmacological intervention does not help reduce edema?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Heat therapy. Heat therapy can vasodilate blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the area and potentially exacerbating edema. Passive range of motion (PROM), elevation of the extremity, and cold therapy are all beneficial interventions for reducing edema. PROM helps with circulation, elevation assists in reducing fluid accumulation, and cold therapy can help constrict blood vessels and decrease swelling.
Question 8 of 9
Convert 30 ml to ounces. (Type the answer as numeric only)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 9 of 9
What repetitive stress injury is a factory worker at risk of?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Factory workers are at risk of developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to repetitive hand movements involved in their work. This condition occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. Plantar fasciitis (choice A) is a condition affecting the foot, not typically associated with factory work. Osteomalacia (choice B) is a softening of the bones due to a lack of vitamin D or calcium, not directly related to repetitive stress in factory work. Osteoporosis (choice D) is a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones, usually associated with aging or hormonal changes rather than repetitive stress injuries.
