Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about dietary recommendations to a client who has iron deficiency anemia. Which of the following dietary recommendations should the nurse include as a food that enhances iron absorption when consumed with nonheme iron?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D:
Tomato juice.
Tomato juice contains vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of nonheme iron. Vitamin C helps to convert nonheme iron into a more absorbable form, increasing the body's ability to take in iron from plant-based sources. Tea (
A) contains compounds that can inhibit iron absorption. Dried beans (
B) contain phytates that can reduce iron absorption. Milk (
C) contains calcium which can inhibit iron absorption.
Therefore, the best recommendation for enhancing iron absorption when consuming nonheme iron is to include foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomato juice.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is interviewing a client who has acute pancreatitis. Which of the following factors should the nurse anticipate finding in the client’s history?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Gallstones. Acute pancreatitis is commonly caused by gallstones blocking the pancreatic duct. This leads to inflammation of the pancreas. Hyperlipidemia (
A) is a risk factor for chronic pancreatitis, not acute. COPD (
C) and Diabetes mellitus (
D) are not directly associated with acute pancreatitis. In summary, the nurse should anticipate finding gallstones in the client's history due to its direct link to acute pancreatitis.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has autism spectrum disorder. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B,D,E
Rationale: The correct answer is B, D, and E. Children with autism spectrum disorder often exhibit delayed language development (
B), repetitive behavior (
D), and playing with toys repetitively (E). Delayed language development is a common characteristic of autism, as individuals may have difficulty with communication skills. Repetitive behavior is another hallmark of autism, such as repetitive movements or insistence on sameness. Playing with toys repetitively is a common behavior seen in children with autism, as they may engage in repetitive activities or focus intensely on specific objects.
Choices A and C are incorrect as children with autism may have difficulty sustaining attention and struggle with eye contact.
Choices F and G are not provided.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is working with a limited staff because of a severe storm in the area. The facility incident commander has initiated disaster protocols. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Focus on providing care that prevents life-threatening emergencies. During a disaster situation with limited staffing, the nurse's priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of the clients. By focusing on providing care that prevents life-threatening emergencies, the nurse can address immediate and critical needs to stabilize and protect clients. This action aligns with disaster protocols, which prioritize the preservation of life.
A: Reinforcing discharge teaching to clients is not a priority during a disaster situation.
B: Instructing assistive personnel to focus on clients' activities of daily living (ADLs) may not address the immediate life-threatening needs of clients during a disaster.
C: Stocking additional unit supplies is important but may not be the immediate priority when dealing with a limited staff during a disaster.
In summary, the nurse should prioritize actions that address preventing life-threatening emergencies to ensure the safety and well-being of clients during a disaster.
