Question 1 of 5
The nurse has been teaching a client with Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 3 retries using GPT-3.5.
Question 2 of 5
After surgery, a client has been taken off the ventilator and has a nasogastric tube draining bile-colored liquids. Which nursing measure will provide the most comfort to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Performing frequent oral care with a tooth sponge is the most appropriate nursing measure in this situation. It helps maintain oral hygiene, prevent dryness, and provide comfort for a client with an NG tube. Allowing the client to melt ice chips may not be suitable immediately post-surgery due to potential risks. Providing mints or swabbing the mouth with glycerin swabs may not address the need for proper oral care and hygiene, which is essential for a client with an NG tube.
Question 3 of 5
When administering enteral feeding to a client via a jejunostomy tube, the nurse should administer the formula
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When administering enteral feeding through a jejunostomy tube, the nurse should administer the formula continuously. Continuous feeding is essential for optimal nutrient absorption and to prevent complications. Administering the formula every four to six hours, in a bolus, or every hour may lead to inadequate nutrition, improper absorption, and an increased risk of complications such as aspiration or dumping syndrome, making these choices incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a 63-year-old client with pneumonia. Which intervention promotes the client's comfort?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Keeping conversations short is the most appropriate intervention to promote comfort for a client with pneumonia. Pneumonia can be physically exhausting, and limiting the length of conversations helps conserve the client's energy. Encouraging visits from family and friends (Choice B) may be emotionally supportive but might not directly promote comfort in the context of conserving energy during recovery. Increasing oral fluid intake (Choice A) is important for hydration but may not directly address the client's comfort. Monitoring vital signs frequently (Choice D) is essential for assessing the client's condition but does not directly promote comfort.
Question 5 of 5
A client in a long term care facility complains of pain. The nurse collects data about the client's pain. The first step in pain assessment is for the nurse to
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'get the description of the location and intensity of the pain.' When a client complains of pain, the initial step in pain assessment is to gather information about the location and intensity of the pain. This helps the nurse understand the nature of the pain and lays the groundwork for further assessment and management. Choice A is incorrect because identifying coping methods comes later in the assessment process. Choice C is incorrect as accepting the client's report of pain is important, but not the first step. Choice D is incorrect as determining the client's pain status also comes after gathering information about the pain.
