Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the readmission of a client to the medical unit after a transfer to ICU following a suicide attempt using an overdose of medication. The client looks down at the floor and mumbles, 'Hello.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has constipation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Add fluid and fiber to the diet. This is the most appropriate action to address constipation in an older adult. Adequate fluid intake helps soften stools, while fiber promotes bowel motility. Requesting a stool softener (
A) is a secondary intervention and should be considered if dietary changes are ineffective. Promoting active range-of-motion activities (
B) may help prevent constipation but is not as effective as dietary modifications. Avoiding gas-producing foods (
D) is not directly related to constipation relief and may not address the underlying issue.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is caring for a client who has tinea pedis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tinea pedis, or athlete's foot, commonly presents as scaling and redness between the toes due to fungal infection.
Question 4 of 5
The family of a client who has died unexpectedly arrives immediately after the death. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Allow the family to view the body privately. This is important to facilitate the grieving process and closure for the family. It allows them to say goodbye and begin the mourning process.
Choice A is incorrect as the family should be allowed to be present immediately.
Choice B is incorrect as postmortem care can be done after the family has had time to grieve.
Choice C is incorrect as it may delay the family from seeing their loved one.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client's skin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to assess skin turgor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Rationale: Option D is correct because grasping a fold of skin on the client's forearm or near the sternum allows for assessment of skin turgor by observing how quickly the skin returns to its normal position when released. Skin turgor reflects the skin's elasticity and hydration status. Option A is incorrect as lightly palpating the skin does not provide an accurate assessment of turgor. Option B is incorrect as pressing the skin over the ankle bone does not evaluate skin turgor. Option C is incorrect as observing for nonblanching, pinpoint-size spots assesses for petechiae, not skin turgor.
