Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assisting with a community health program for caregivers of clients who have Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. Limit the number of choices for the client. B. Use written signs to assist the client with locating the bathroom. C. Provide a stimulating environment for the client. D. Use confrontation to manage the client's behavior.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Limiting the number of choices for the client is correct. Clients with Alzheimer's disease can become overwhelmed by too many options. Offering simple choices, such as 'Would you like tea or juice?' instead of an open-ended question, helps reduce confusion and frustration.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client's family about home oxygen use via nasal cannula. Which of the following statements by a family member indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. We will frequently check the top of his ears for sores. B. We can turn the oxygen up to 10 when he has trouble breathing. C. We can use petroleum jelly to keep his nares moist. D. We will need to remove the nasal cannula when he is eating.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Frequently checking the top of the ears for sores is correct. The nasal cannula tubing can cause pressure injuries behind the ears over time. The family should check for redness or sores and use protective padding or adjust the tubing as needed.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is caring for an adolescent who states, 'I joined the track and field team, so I won't argue with my brothers anymore.' The nurse should identify that the client is using which of the following defense mechanisms?

A. Denial B. Sublimation C. Regression D. Repression

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Sublimation is correct. Sublimation is the process of channeling unacceptable impulses (such as frustration or aggression) into socially acceptable activities (such as sports or creative pursuits). By joining the track and field team instead of arguing with his brothers, the adolescent is redirecting energy into a positive outlet.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching about palliative care to a client who has cancer. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. It is for clients who have a terminal illness. B. It is for clients who are given 6 months or less to live. C. It includes restriction of nutritional support. D. It enhances quality of life by promoting comfort.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Enhancing quality of life by promoting comfort is correct. Palliative care aims to relieve symptoms such as pain, nausea, and fatigue while supporting the client's emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being.

Question 5 of 5

A client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus asks a nurse about beginning an exercise regimen. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

A. Exercise when insulin is at its peak action. B. Eat a piece of fruit before exercising. C. Inject additional insulin before exercising. D. Avoid protein before exercising.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Eating a piece of fruit before exercising is correct. A small carbohydrate snack before exercise helps prevent hypoglycemia, especially for clients with type 1 diabetes. The body requires glucose for energy, and exercise can lower blood sugar levels rapidly.
