Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statement best describe responsibility in nursing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Responsibility is duty to perform tasks (B), per nursing e.g., meds on time. Not blaming (A), not choice (C), not temporary (D) obligation-based. B best defines responsibility's role, ensuring Mr. Gary's care, making it correct.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statement best describe documentation in nursing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Documentation is accurate care records (B), per nursing e.g., vitals logged. Not optional (A), not opinion (C), not temporary (D) legal record. B best defines its role, tracking Mr. Gary's care, making it correct.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse chose a cheaper, effective med for Mr. Gary. This is an example of?

Rationale: Choosing cheaper, effective med is cost-effectiveness (A) maximizing value, per definition. Utilization (B) resources, literacy (C) understanding, transition (D) moves not cost-specific. A fits the nurse's economical choice for Mr. Gary, making it correct.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following nursing interventions would be most important for determining fluid balance in a client with end-stage renal failure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In end-stage renal failure, kidneys cannot regulate fluid balance, often producing little to no urine. Weighing the patient daily is the most reliable way to assess fluid status, as weight changes reflect fluid gain or loss (1 kg ≈ 1 L). Monitoring urine specific gravity is less useful with minimal urine output. Measuring intake and output helps but is less precise due to insensible losses (e.g., sweating). Bowel movements don't directly indicate fluid balance. Daily weight provides a consistent, objective measure, critical for managing fluid overload or dehydration in this population, guiding treatment like dialysis.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following intervention is NOT recommended in watery diarrhea?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Psyllium, a fiber supplement, bulks stool, useful in chronic diarrhea but not acute watery diarrhea, where it may worsen fluid loss by slowing rehydration. Intravenous albumin corrects oncotic pressure, not routine for diarrhea. Potassium supplements replace losses from stool, and normal saline restores hydration both are appropriate. Nurses prioritize fluid and electrolyte replacement in acute cases, avoiding agents that delay recovery or exacerbate dehydration, focusing on rapid stabilization.
