Question 1 of 5
A clinic nurse is performing a physical assessment on a client who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has HIV. Which of the following laboratory values is the nurse’s priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A CD4-T-cell count of 180 cells/mm³ indicates severe immunosuppression, increasing opportunistic infection risk, making it the priority. Other values are normal or less urgent.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a left corneal transplant. The nurse observes purulent drainage from the affected eye. Which of the following actions is the nurse’s priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Notifying the surgeon is the priority because purulent drainage may indicate a serious infection or complication requiring immediate medical evaluation. A non-pressure patch, cleaning the eye, or instilling antibiotics are secondary actions pending surgeon’s orders.
