COPD Patient Care Question Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is instructing a 65-year-old female client diagnosed with osteoporosis. The most important instruction regarding exercise would be to
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Weight-bearing exercises are most important for osteoporosis, per the document, as they slow bone loss and improve density, despite irreversible loss. Weight reduction helps but isn't primary. Avoiding risky exercises is cautious but less proactive. Muscle strengthening supports bones but isn't the focus. A, with estrogen and calcium, prevents progression, making it the top instruction.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing several clients in a long term health care facility. Which client is at highest risk for development of decubitus ulcers?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 79-year-old malnourished client on bed rest is at highest risk for decubitus ulcers. Malnutrition impairs tissue repair, and immobility increases pressure on bony prominences. Obesity adds pressure but mobility reduces risk. Incontinence risks skin breakdown, but less than A's factors. Ambulatory status lowers risk. A combines critical risk factors, making it the highest priority.
Question 3 of 5
The care of which of the following clients can the nurse safely delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An elderly client with hypertension and noncompliance can be safely delegated to a UAP. Routine tasks (e.g., vitals, hygiene) suit UAP scope, and the condition is stable. PVD with ulcers , pre-op asthma , and TIA with dizziness require RN assessment. C ensures safety, making it delegable.
Question 4 of 5
An RN from the women's health clinic is temporarily reassigned to a medical-surgical unit. Which of these client assignments would be most appropriate for this nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A newly diagnosed diabetic learning foot care suits an RN from women's health. Education aligns with clinic skills, unlike ortho , diagnostics , or oncology . A leverages expertise, making it the best assignment.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse has been teaching adult clients about cardiac risks when they visit the hypertension clinic. Which evaluation data would best measure learning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reported behavioral changes best measure cardiac risk learning. Applying knowledge (e.g., diet, exercise) reduces hypertension, per adult learning theory, outweighing recall (A, B) or survey . D reflects outcome, making it the top evaluation.
