Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is reinforcing teaching with a client about collecting a stool specimen for occult blood testing. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Three separate specimens increase test accuracy.
Toilet water contaminates, bloody stools skew results, and refrigeration duration varies but isn't specified here.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has diabetes mellitus about reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Exercise (30 min most days) reduces cardiovascular risk. Saturated fats increase it, antihypertensives need daily dosing, and sodium should be <2.3 g/day.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has a new prescription for nystatin to treat a candidiasis infection. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nystatin suspension is swished for oral candidiasis. It's not an ointment, doesn't affect kidneys significantly, and lying flat isn't needed.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new ileostomy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This question seems incomplete; assuming typical ileostomy teaching, no option fully fits. Correct teaching includes frequent emptying (not daily), low-fiber diet, increased fluids, and a red stoma. Assuming error, C is least incorrect if misworded.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving 0.9% sodium chloride IV at 75 mL/hr. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculating intake per shift monitors fluid balance. Heparin isn't routine for saline, site checks are more frequent (e.g., hourly), and bags change every 24 hr.
