Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving chemotherapy. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring white blood cell count is critical during chemotherapy due to risk of immunosuppression and infection. Potassium, glucose, and creatinine are less directly affected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of diverticulitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Left lower quadrant pain is typical in diverticulitis due to inflamed sigmoid colon diverticula. Fever and diarrhea may occur, but right upper quadrant pain is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following foods should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spinach, high in vitamin K, can reduce warfarin's anticoagulant effect, so intake should be consistent or limited. Oranges, chicken, and potatoes have minimal impact.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following total hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent dislocation of the prosthesis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An abduction pillow maintains hip alignment, preventing adduction and dislocation post-hip arthroplasty. Elevating the leg risks adduction, high knees in a chair increase dislocation risk, and high-Fowler's position is unrelated to hip stability.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following laboratory tests should the nurse plan to monitor?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prothrombin time (PT/INR) monitors warfarin's anticoagulant effect, ensuring therapeutic levels. Hemoglobin, creatinine, and glucose are unrelated to warfarin's action.
