Question 1 of 5
A client prescribed albuterol sulfate by inhalation is unable to cough up secretions. What actions should the nurse teach the client to help clear bronchial secretions effectively?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increasing fluid consumption helps thin bronchial secretions, making them easier to expectorate, improving respiratory function.
Question 2 of 5
The nursing student is asked by the preceptor what are the expected findings of the Rinne test. What statement by the nursing student is correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Rinne test compares air conduction (next to the ear) with bone conduction (on the mastoid process). Normally, air conduction is heard longer than bone conduction.
