Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 9
What device would be best to use for a client who is immobile?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A mechanical lift is the most suitable device for a client who is immobile as it provides safe and efficient assistance in moving the individual. A standing assist device is used for support during standing activities, not for transferring an immobile client. A transfer board is helpful for assisting a client in sliding from one surface to another but may not be the best option for someone who is completely immobile. A gait belt is used for providing support and stability during walking or transferring, which may not be effective for a client who is immobile and requires more comprehensive assistance.
Question 3 of 9
What is correct health promotion education for vision? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 9
What activities should the client avoid after cataract surgery? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After cataract surgery, the client should avoid activities that can increase intraocular pressure. Blowing one's nose and bearing down during defecation can raise the pressure inside the eye, which can be harmful during the healing process. Lifting items heavier than 10 pounds can also lead to an increase in intraocular pressure. Therefore, all the activities mentioned in the choices (nose blowing, bearing down during defecation, and lifting heavy items) should be avoided after cataract surgery to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Question 5 of 9
A nurse is assessing a client with hallux valgus. What is another term for this assessment finding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hallux valgus is commonly known as a bunion, which is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. A) Thoracic deformity is unrelated to hallux valgus. C) A corn is a thickened area of skin on the foot, not synonymous with hallux valgus. D) Metacarpal involvement refers to the hand, not the foot where hallux valgus occurs.

Question 9 of 9
The client moves both crutches forward, with weight on the unaffected leg, and then moves the unaffected leg forward, shifting weight onto it. Which of the following gaits is being utilized?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, Three-point gait. In a three-point gait, one leg is non-weight bearing, as described in the scenario where the client shifts weight onto the unaffected leg. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A two-point gait involves partial weight-bearing on both legs, a four-point gait involves weight-bearing on both legs, and 'Unaffected gait' is not a recognized term in gait patterns.
