Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving 0.9% sodium chloride IV at 75 mL/hr. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calculating intake per shift monitors fluid balance. Heparin isn't routine for saline, site checks are more frequent (e.g., hourly), and bags change every 24 hr.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an indwelling catheter with a urinary drainage system. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Securing tubing prevents displacement and trauma. Coiling risks backflow, waist height allows reflux, and specimens come from the port, not bag.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has gastroesophageal reflux disease. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Decreasing caffeine reduces reflux by relaxing the lower esophageal sphincter less. Lying down post-meal, large meals, and carbonated drinks worsen reflux.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new diagnosis of genital herpes. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stress can trigger herpes outbreaks. Alkaline soaps may irritate, cultures aren't always needed if lesions are typical, and sitz baths are less specific than antivirals.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with postmortem care for a client who was a devout follower of Islam. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Positioning the head toward Mecca respects Islamic burial customs. Family presence varies by preference, not a fixed 8 hr, and northward positioning isn't specific to Islam.
