Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has advanced cirrhosis. Which of the following manifestation should the nurse expect to find?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Spider angioma: Spider angiomas are common in advanced cirrhosis due to increased estrogen from liver dysfunction. Decreased body hair, weak pulse, and pale stools are more likely.
Question 2 of 5
During the process of collecting a comprehensive medical history from a client who has been admitted with pyelonephritis, which of the following symptoms or historical details would the nurse most likely expect the client to report?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A history of frequent urinary tract infections: Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant risk factor for developing pyelonephritis, as the infection can ascend from the bladder to the kidneys. Chronic headaches, gastrointestinal issues, and hypertension are not directly related to pyelonephritis.

Correct Answer: B

A patient undergoing chemotherapy reports painful oral ulcers, difficulty eating, and a metallic taste in the mouth. The nurse suspects stomatitis. Which nursing intervention is most appropriate for this patient?
