Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has dehydration. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dark-colored urine indicates dehydration due to concentrated urine from reduced fluid volume.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 12-month-old infant who is brought to the clinic by the parents for a well-child visit. The nurse reviews the infant's health history and notes that the infant weighed $8 \mathrm{lb}$ at birth. When assessing the infant's weight at this visit,the nurse would anticipate that the infant would weigh approximately how much at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 20 lbs: This is a plausible estimate. By 12 months, an infant's birth weight typically triples.
Therefore, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would approximately translate to $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 32 lbs: This estimate is too high. If an infant's birth weight triples by 12 months, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would not be expected to reach 32 lbs. 24 lbs: An infant's weight usually triples by their first birthday.
Therefore, an infant born weighing $8 \mathrm{lbs}$ would be expected to weigh about $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 16 lbs: This is an underestimate. An $8 \mathrm{lb}$ infant would double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months, and by 12 months, they would typically have tripled their birth weight to around $24 \mathrm{lbs}$.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a moderate vision impairment. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Facing the client aids communication by allowing them to interpret facial expressions and lip movements, enhancing understanding for those with vision impairment.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following are physical changes that occur in middle adulthood? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,E,F
Rationale: A. Increased subcutaneous fat: Middle adulthood often sees an increase in fat deposits, particularly around the abdomen, due to changes in metabolism and hormonal shifts. B. Increased skin turgor and moisture: Incorrect. Aging typically leads to decreased skin turgor and moisture, causing the skin to become drier and less elastic. C. Decreased bone density: Bone density generally decreases due to reduced bone remodeling, increasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. D. The skin is more elastic: Incorrect. Skin elasticity usually decreases with age, resulting in wrinkles and sagging. E. Muscle mass gradually decreases: Muscle mass tends to decline with age, a condition known as sarcopenia, leading to reduced strength and physical capability. F. Decreased auditory acuity: Hearing loss, particularly high-frequency hearing loss, is common as people age due to changes in the inner ear and other auditory structures.
Question 5 of 5
A client who is bleeding profusely from a stab wound is brought to the emergency department. Which type of assessment is most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Emergency: This type of assessment is rapid and focuses on identifying and treating life-threatening conditions immediately, such as profuse bleeding from a stab wound. Time-lapse: This assessment compares current client data to previous data to assess progress, which is not appropriate for an acute, life-threatening situation. Focused: While this is a detailed assessment of a specific problem area, an emergency assessment is needed first for immediate threats to life. Initial: This is a comprehensive assessment typically conducted when a client first enters a healthcare setting, but in an emergency, the focus shifts to immediate lifesaving measures.
