Question 1 of 5
Which nursing intervention related to self-care is most appropriate for a teenager diagnosed with moderate ID?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because providing simple directions and praising the client's independent self-care efforts is appropriate for a teenager with moderate ID. This approach promotes independence and self-esteem while offering necessary support. Choice A is incorrect as it does not encourage independence and may hinder the client's growth. Choice C is incorrect as complete autonomy may not be realistic or safe for the client. Choice D is incorrect as it can create dependency and hinder the client's development of self-care skills.
Question 2 of 5
Which side effect of aripiprazole would be of most concern to the nurse when assessing a 14-year-old client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Tremor. Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic medication that can cause extrapyramidal side effects like tremor, especially in young clients. Tremor can impact daily activities and quality of life. Dizziness, headache, and nausea are common side effects of aripiprazole but are typically less concerning and may improve over time. Assessing for tremor is crucial in adolescents to prevent potential long-term effects.
Question 3 of 5
Why would a nurse establish goals for a client diagnosed with ADHD that allow the client to complete part of the task, rewarding each step completion with a break for physical activity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable steps is beneficial for clients with ADHD who struggle with a short attention span. By setting short-term goals, the client is more likely to stay focused and motivated as they can see progress more frequently. This approach helps prevent the feeling of being overwhelmed by a large task. Choice B is incorrect because repetition of instructions is not directly related to breaking down tasks into smaller steps for better focus in ADHD clients. Choice C is incorrect because while the approach encourages independence, it does not specifically address the issue of managing a short attention span. Choice D is incorrect as it focuses on the client's ability to assimilate information rather than the strategy of setting achievable goals for individuals with ADHD.
