Question 1 of 5
A 35-year-old Latin-American client wishes to lose weight to reduce her chances of developing heart disease and diabetes. The client states, "I do not know how to make my diet work with the kind of foods that my family eats."? What should the nurse do first to help the client determine a suitable diet for disease prevention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct first step is to assess the client's current diet by asking her to provide a list of the types of foods she eats. This assessment will help the nurse determine a personalized dietary plan based on the guidelines from the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association. Providing the client with copies of the guidelines is important but not the initial action. A high-protein diet plan may not be suitable for all clients aiming to prevent heart disease and diabetes. While providing information on risk factors is important, it is not the primary step in assisting the client with determining a suitable diet for disease prevention.
Question 2 of 5
A 4-year-old client is unable to go to sleep at night in the hospital. Which nursing intervention best promotes sleep for the child?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a 4-year-old client struggling to sleep in the hospital, it is essential to identify and replicate their home bedtime rituals. This familiarity can provide comfort and promote better sleep. Turning out the room light and closing the door (
Choice
A) might increase the child's fear by plunging the room into darkness, making it an incorrect choice. Tiring the child with quiet activities (
Choice
B) is incorrect as it may stimulate rather than calm the child. Encouraging visitation by friends (
Choice
D) can lead to increased excitement, hindering the child's ability to fall asleep instead of promoting a restful environment.
Question 3 of 5
If a client has chronic renal failure, which of the following sexual complications is the client at risk of developing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In chronic renal failure, untreated, the client is at risk of developing decreased plasma testosterone. This condition leads to atrophy of the testicles and decreased spermatogenesis. Retrograde ejaculation is not a complication of chronic renal failure but can occur after transurethral resection of the prostate. The testicles atrophy in chronic renal failure; they do not hypertrophy. Additionally, chronic renal failure often leads to a state of depression, not euphoria.
Question 4 of 5
Mr. H. is upset about being in the hospital for another day due to the high cost. The rights he is likely to demand include all of the following except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Confidentiality is the maintenance of privacy of information. The question does not suggest that confidentiality has been breached. In this scenario, Mr. H. is concerned about the cost and the length of his stay, which relates to his rights regarding billing, treatment, and response to requests. The right to confidentiality, though important, is not directly related to his current situation of being upset about the high cost and extended stay. Mr. H. is more likely to demand the right to examine and question the bill to understand the charges, the right to reasonable response to requests regarding his care and stay, and the right to refuse treatment if he wishes.
Therefore, the correct answer is the right to confidentiality, as it is not a primary concern in this context.
Question 5 of 5
In conducting a health screening for 12-month-old children, the nurse expects them to have been immunized against which of the following diseases?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: By 12 months of age, children should have received vaccines for diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and tetanus (DTaP and IPV). The correct answer is B as it includes these vaccines that are typically administered in the first year of life. Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination usually begins at 12 months of age but is not expected to be completed by this time.
Choices A and C are incorrect as they include diseases that are not part of the routine immunization schedule for a 12-month-old child.
