Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a closed-chest tube drainage system. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring drainage detects complications like pneumothorax. Clamping risks pressure buildup, pinning causes traction, and units are replaced only if faulty.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following an appendectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Red streaks suggest infection, requiring reporting. Normal temperature, expected drainage, and hypoactive bowels are less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is recovering from gastroenteritis and is beginning oral intake. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lime ice popsicles are clear, hydrating, and stomach-friendly. Orange juice is acidic, and dairy-based soup and pudding may worsen symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has disuse syndrome following cast removal from a lower extremity. Which of the following referrals should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Occupational therapy improves daily function in disuse syndrome. Social workers, herbalists, and dietitians don't address physical function directly.

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a BMI of 32 and wants to lose weight. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to promote the client's weight loss?
