Question 1 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 2 of 9
What evaluation indicates successful progress on the client goal of increasing daily physical activity?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because reporting less fatigue when walking up stairs indicates improved physical endurance, showing progress in increasing daily activity. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because decreased social interaction, increased NSAID use, and experiencing a fall are not indicators of successful progress in increasing daily physical activity.
Question 3 of 9
What is accurate health promotion teaching to prevent ear infection or trauma? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct health promotion teachings to prevent ear infection or trauma include blowing the nose gently without blocking nostrils, wearing hearing protection when exposed to loud noise, and avoiding the use of cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear. Blocking one nostril when blowing the nose is incorrect, as it can cause problems. Therefore, choice A is inaccurate. Additionally, using cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear can lead to trauma or infection, making choice C a correct preventive measure.
Question 4 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 5 of 9
A client has sustained an open fracture. What nursing intervention will best prevent osteomyelitis in this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Proper hand hygiene is crucial in preventing infections such as osteomyelitis in clients with open fractures. Keeping the hands clean helps reduce the risk of introducing harmful pathogens to the wound site. Delegating all client personal care to specific unlicensed assistive personnel (Choice A) is not appropriate as direct involvement in wound care is essential in preventing infections. Placing the client in contact precautions (Choice B) is not directly related to preventing osteomyelitis in this context. Administering pain medication (Choice D) is important for managing the client's pain but does not directly address the prevention of osteomyelitis.
Question 6 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 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 finding is often present in a client with osteoporosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kyphosis is a common finding in osteoporosis due to vertebral compression fractures. Chronic pain (Choice A) can occur in osteoporosis but is not a specific finding. Dupuytren's contracture (Choice B) is a condition affecting hand fingers' connective tissue, not typically associated with osteoporosis. Inflammation (Choice C) is not a typical finding in osteoporosis but rather a characteristic of other conditions.
Question 9 of 9
What is not a nursing intervention for a client with osteoporosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Avoiding muscle strengthening exercises is not recommended for clients with osteoporosis; on the contrary, weight-bearing exercises are beneficial. Choice A is correct as ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake is essential for bone health. Choice B is also correct as weight-bearing exercises help improve bone density. Choice D is incorrect because avoiding repetitive movements is not a standard nursing intervention for osteoporosis.
