Question 1 of 5
A nurse advises a client with osteoporosis to have three servings of milk or dairy products daily. Which of the following levels of prevention is being used by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Primary prevention aims to prevent disease onset before it occurs. Advising a client with osteoporosis to consume three servings of milk or dairy products daily ensures adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, helping to maintain bone density and prevent fractures. This is a proactive measure to avoid worsening of the condition. Secondary prevention involves early detection, tertiary prevention manages existing disease, and proactive prevention is not a standard term.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has had a hemorrhagic stroke following a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Changes in consciousness are a hallmark of hemorrhagic stroke due to rapid bleeding increasing intracranial pressure, disrupting brain function. This can manifest as confusion, lethargy, or unconsciousness. A gradual headache or symptom onset is atypical, as hemorrhagic strokes present suddenly. Neurologic deficits lasting less than 1 hour suggest a transient ischemic attack, not a hemorrhagic stroke.
Question 3 of 5
A registered nurse (RN) and an experienced licensed practical nurse (LPN) are caring for a group of clients. Which of the following tasks should the RN delegate to the LPN?SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
Rationale: LPNs can monitor vital signs (
A), administer routine medications to stable clients (
B), perform wound care (
C), and provide oral care (E), as these tasks are within their scope under RN supervision. Developing a teaching plan (
D) requires RN-level assessment and planning skills.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is delegating tasks to the assistive personnel (AP). The nurse should direct the AP to complete which of the following tasks first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Providing a snack to a diabetic client who is feeling lightheaded is the most urgent task. Lightheadedness in a diabetic client may indicate hypoglycemia, which can lead to serious complications like loss of consciousness or seizures if not addressed promptly. Administering a quick source of glucose stabilizes the client's condition, addressing an immediate physiological need. Other tasks, such as assisting with a bed bath, feeding, or ambulating, are important but less urgent as they do not address an immediate threat to life.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who questions the need for cardiac rehabilitation, stating, 'My heart is permanently damaged from the heart attack, so what's the point of cardiac rehabilitation?' Which response should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Explaining that cardiac rehabilitation helps safely restore activity levels (
C) addresses the client's concerns directly, highlighting benefits despite irreversible damage. Other responses are vague, overly general, or defer to authority without educating.
