Question 1 of 5
A client asks the nurse what causes Parkinson's disease. The nurse's correct reply would be that Parkinson's disease is thought to be due to:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Parkinson's disease is caused by a deficiency of dopamine in the brain, leading to motor symptoms.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing the older adult client with otosclerosis. Which diagnostic characteristics should the nurse associate with otosclerosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Otosclerosis impairs the air conduction of sound waves; therefore, bone conduction is typically greater than air conduction. Hearing aids and surgical restoration (stapedectomy) are effective, and progressive hearing loss is detected by serial audiograms.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Which assessment information should the nurse determine first when placing the client in the assigned room?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Homonymous hemianopia (loss of half the visual field) from a CVA affects safety and orientation, requiring immediate assessment. Bed preference, dietary setup, and PT consults are secondary.
Question 4 of 5
The client has had an enucleation of the left eye. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An ocular prosthesis restores appearance post-enucleation, addressing psychosocial needs. Eyeglasses, guide dogs, and eyedrops are irrelevant post-enucleation.
Question 5 of 5
How should a nurse walk a client who is blind?
