Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who is at risk for falls to a medical-surgical unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A night light improves visibility, reducing fall risk. A distant table limits access, full side rails risk entrapment, and 18°C isn’t a fall prevention standard.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has risk factors for developing heart disease. Which of the following factors does the nurse recognize as a modifiable risk factor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Physical inactivity is modifiable through lifestyle changes, reducing heart disease risk by improving cardiovascular health. Parental hypertension is genetic, cultural beliefs and air quality are less directly controllable.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the client’s medical record. Which of the following findings places the client at risk for heart disease? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,C,E,F
Rationale: A: Family history increases genetic risk. B: High glucose (diabetes) promotes atherosclerosis. C: Hyperlipidemia raises LDL cholesterol. E: Hypertension strains vessels. F: Elevated cholesterol contributes to plaque. D (rheumatoid arthritis) increases risk via inflammation but isn’t explicitly listed.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of possible anaphylaxis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A sharp drop in blood pressure is a key anaphylaxis symptom, indicating shock. Swelling in feet, injection site pain, and decreased heart rate (late-stage) aren’t primary indicators—tachycardia is more typical early on. Note: Question seems misaligned; likely intended for osteoporosis, not anaphylaxis.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collaborating with a risk management team about potential legal issues involving client care. The nurse should identify that which of the following situations is an example of negligence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Administering medication without identifying the client is negligence, failing standard care and risking harm. Lack of consent is ethical, restraint may be rights-related, and discussion breaches confidentiality—not negligence.
