Question 1 of 5
A home health nurse is reinforcing teaching about dietary needs with the son of a client. The son states, 'I don't know what to do because he's not eating.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Asking about mealtime elicits more information empathetically, aiding assessment. Suggesting a tube is premature, 'why' may seem accusatory, and dismissing the issue invalidates concerns.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about how to collect a stool specimen. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Avoiding toilet tissue in the bedpan prevents interference with analysis. Urination should precede collection, specimens should be cool, and more stool (2.5 cm) is needed.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has hearing loss. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote communication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Decreasing background noise improves the client's ability to hear and understand. Rapid speech, short phrases, or loud voices can distort communication or cause discomfort.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who speaks a different language than the nurse and is 5 hours postoperative. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to determine the client's level of pain?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using a communication board is an effective way to assess the client's pain level and location, overcoming the language barrier. The FLACC scale is for infants/children, AP interpretation is unreliable, and the FACES scale may not be culturally understood.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new Westerly syndrome. Which of the following statements by the client demonstrates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bananas are high in potassium, which can affect heart rhythm and should be avoided with Westerly syndrome. Broccoli should be moderated due to vitamin C, mushrooms are safe, and popcorn's sodium content should be limited.
