Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing a client with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for discharge. Which instruction should the nurse include in the teaching plan?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: C: Monitoring body temperature is essential for early detection of infection or fever, which can indicate disease exacerbation in SLE clients. A: Exposure to sunlight can worsen SLE symptoms due to photosensitivity. B: Activity limitations are crucial to prevent flare-ups and reduce disease progression in SLE.

Question 2 of 5

A 36 y.o. woman who has had no prenatal care comes into the hospital in active labor for her fourth child. She has vesicles evident on her perineum. The following nursing actions are appropriate to protect the unborn baby and the staff, EXCEPT:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Correct Answer: D Rationale: 1. Applying antibiotic ointment and placing the mother in reverse isolation are not appropriate for managing vesicles suspected to be herpes simplex virus (HSV) during labor. 2. HSV can be transmitted to the baby during vaginal delivery, leading to serious consequences. 3. Standard precautions should always be maintained to prevent the spread of infections. 4. Preparing for the possibility of a cesarean section and notifying the obstetrician about the vesicles are important steps to protect the baby and staff from potential harm.

Question 3 of 5

What deficits would the nurse expect in a right-handed person experiencing a stroke affecting the left side of the cortex?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Expressive aphasia and paralysis on the left side of the body. In a right-handed person, the left side of the brain controls language (Broca's area) and motor function for the right side of the body. A stroke affecting the left side of the cortex would lead to expressive aphasia (difficulty speaking) due to damage to Broca's area and paralysis on the right side of the body due to motor function impairment. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the known neurological functions of the brain regions affected by the stroke.

Question 4 of 5

A client has undergone a nephrectomy and is placed under observation after a urethral catheter insertion. As part of the nursing care plan, the nurse records the color of drainage from each tube and catheter. Which of the ff is the reason for this?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: To provide a means for further comparison and evaluation. By recording the color of drainage from each tube and catheter, the nurse can monitor changes over time, assess for any abnormalities, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. This helps in detecting complications early and making informed decisions. Rationale for other choices: A: To restore and maintain intravascular volume - Monitoring drainage color does not directly relate to intravascular volume status. C: To avoid interference with wound drainage - Monitoring drainage color does not prevent interference with wound drainage. D: To prevent pain related to obstruction - Monitoring drainage color does not directly prevent pain related to obstruction.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is attempting to prompt the patient to elaborate on the reports of daytime fatigue. Which question should the nurse ask?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it encourages the patient to reflect on their own thoughts and identify potential causes of their fatigue. It allows the patient to express their own insights and helps the nurse understand the underlying reasons for the fatigue. Choice A focuses on stress, which may not be the main cause of fatigue. Choice C is irrelevant to exploring the fatigue further. Choice D assumes that lack of sleep is the main issue, which may not be the case for the patient.
