Question 3 of 5
A patient with upper body strength and ability to maintain balance best ambulates using:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: A walker. A patient with upper body strength and balance should use a walker for optimal support and stability during ambulation. Walkers provide the most support and weight-bearing assistance among the options listed, making them suitable for individuals with these capabilities. Canes and crutches may not offer sufficient support, and handrails are stationary and do not provide the necessary assistance for walking. Therefore, a walker is the best choice for this patient based on their strength and balance.

Question 5 of 5
Which symptom may appear first in an 80-year-old client diagnosed with pneumonia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Altered mental status and dehydration. In elderly patients with pneumonia, altered mental status and dehydration are often the first symptoms due to age-related changes in the body's response to infection. Dehydration can lead to electrolyte imbalances affecting brain function. Fever and chills (B) typically follow as the infection progresses. Hemoptysis and dyspnea (C) are less common in elderly pneumonia patients. Pleuritic chest pain and cough (D) usually occur later in the course of the illness.
