Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 9
What is the condition called when the client's pupils are different sizes and have been this way since childhood?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anisocoria is the correct answer. Anisocoria is the condition of having pupils of different sizes. Exophthalmos refers to abnormal protrusion of the eyeball, not pupil size difference. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. Scleral edema is swelling of the sclera, the white part of the eye, and not related to differing pupil sizes.
Question 2 of 9
While completing a health history the client reports experiencing blurring of vision in both eyes without associated pain. What condition does the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 9
The client has been asked to perform weight-bearing exercises three times a week. The client admits to not doing the recommended exercises. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The most appropriate response by the nurse is to ask the client to elaborate on their experience with the exercises. By doing so, the nurse can gain insight into any barriers the client may be facing and work together to find solutions to improve adherence. Choice A is not appropriate as it doesn't address the client's situation. Choice C is not relevant and may induce fear in the client. Choice D is directive and does not promote open communication or understanding of the client's perspective.
Question 4 of 9

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 9
Why is a client with osteoporosis prone to fractures?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Osteoporosis is characterized by porous, weak bones due to decreased bone density. This porous nature of bones in osteoporosis makes them more prone to fractures. Choice A is incorrect because bone spurs do not lead to fractures in osteoporosis; they are bony outgrowths unrelated to osteoporosis. Choice B is incorrect as osteoporosis is associated with decreased, not increased, bone density. Choice D is incorrect as individuals with osteoporosis are indeed prone to fractures due to weakened bones.
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: Assisting the client to the orthopneic position is the best nursing intervention to help prevent atelectasis. This position improves lung expansion by allowing the chest to expand fully, aiding in the prevention of atelectasis. Offering a protein-rich diet (choice B) is important for overall nutrition but does not directly address preventing atelectasis. Offering a bedpan for toileting (choice C) and turning the client every 4 hours (choice D) are important for preventing pressure ulcers in immobile clients but do not directly prevent atelectasis.
Question 7 of 9
The following client come to the ophthalmology clinic. Which client needs to be seen first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 8 of 9
The provider orders the client to be placed in a high-Fowler's position. At what angle will the nurse position the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 90 degrees. In a high-Fowler's position, the client's head of the bed is raised to a 90-degree angle. This positioning helps improve breathing and facilitates eating and talking. Choice A, 15 degrees, is incorrect as it is not high enough to be considered a high-Fowler's position. Choice B, 0 degrees, is incorrect as it represents a flat or supine position. Choice D, 30 degrees, is also incorrect as it does not meet the criteria for a high-Fowler's position.
Question 9 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.
