Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a craniotomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring for increased intracranial pressure is critical post-craniotomy to detect complications like swelling or bleeding. Flat positioning may increase ICP, stool softeners are secondary, and coughing is avoided to prevent ICP spikes.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of migraines. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Visual disturbances, like auras, are common in migraines, often preceding headache. Leg pain, chest tightness, and abdominal cramping are not typical migraine symptoms.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new diagnosis of glaucoma. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Blurred vision is expected in glaucoma due to increased intraocular pressure. Severe pain and nausea occur in acute angle-closure glaucoma, but blurred vision is more common in chronic cases. Fever is unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of alcohol use disorder and is experiencing withdrawal. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tremors are a common symptom of alcohol withdrawal due to nervous system hyperactivity. Bradycardia, hypothermia, and hypoglycemia are not typical; tachycardia and seizures are more likely.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Range-of-motion exercises prevent lymphedema and maintain mobility post-mastectomy. Raising the arm is encouraged, warm compresses are not standard, and dependent positioning increases swelling.
