Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A temperature of 38.2°C (100.8°F) during a transfusion suggests a febrile reaction, requiring provider notification. Normal blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate are not urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving hospice care. The client's family member asks the nurse about the purpose of hospice care. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hospice care provides comfort and support for clients at the end of life, focusing on quality of life, not cure. It's available in various settings, not just hospitals, and is for terminal conditions.

A nurse is collecting data from a client who has Parkinson's disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pill-rolling tremor, a rhythmic hand movement, is characteristic of Parkinson's disease due to basal ganglia dysfunction. Intention tremor is cerebellar, exophthalmos is thyroid-related, and flushed skin is not typical.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for furosemide. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
