Rationale:
1. The client is experiencing symptoms such as severe sore throat, pain when swallowing, and swollen lymph nodes, indicating an active infection.
2. The illness stage is characterized by the manifestation of specific symptoms as the body tries to fight off the infection.
3. During the illness stage, the infection is fully developed and the individual exhibits overt signs and symptoms.
4. The other stages - Prodromal, Incubation, and Convalescence - do not align with the client's current presentation as they represent different phases of an infection before or after the active illness period.
Summary:
A: Prodromal - Characterized by non-specific symptoms and mild discomfort, not severe sore throat and swollen lymph nodes.

Question 3 of 5
A nurse in an outpatient surgical center is admitting a client for a laparoscopic procedure. The client has a prescription for preoperative diazepam (Valium). Prior to administering the medication, which of the following actions is the highest priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Identifying the client's medication allergies. Before administering any medication, it is crucial to identify if the client has any allergies to prevent adverse reactions. This step ensures the client's safety and well-being during the surgical procedure. Teaching the client about the medication (choice

D) is important for overall care but not as critical as identifying allergies.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing safety precautions with a group of young adults at a community health fair. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include specifically for this age group? Select all.
Correct Answer: B, C, D
Rationale: The correct recommendations for young adults are wearing a helmet while skiing (
B), installing a carbon monoxide detector (
C), and securing firearms in a safe location (
D). Young adults are more likely to engage in risky activities like skiing, hence wearing a helmet is crucial for injury prevention. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a risk for all age groups, but young adults may be less aware of the dangers, making it important to install detectors. Additionally, young adults may have access to firearms, so securing them in a safe location is vital to prevent accidents or misuse. The other options (A, E) are more relevant for older adults to prevent falls, and may not be as critical for young adults who are more at risk for the mentioned activities.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse educator is conducting a parenting class for new parents. Which of the following statements made by a participant indicates a need for further clarification & instruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B. Once my baby can sit up, he should be safe in the bathtub.
Rationale: This statement indicates a need for further clarification because sitting up doesn't guarantee safety in the bathtub. Babies can still slip or drown even when they can sit. It's important to never leave a baby unattended in the tub, regardless of their ability to sit up.
Summary of other choices:
A: Starting swimming lessons when the baby can close her mouth underwater is not recommended. Babies should not be submerged in water until they are older.
C: Testing the water temperature before placing the baby in the bath is a good practice for safety.
D: Removing the mobile from over the bed when the infant starts to push up is a good safety measure to prevent any hazards.
