Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a cloudy, opaque area over the lens of one eye. The nurse should identify that this is a manifestation of which of the following visual impairments?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A cloudy lens indicates cataracts, causing blurred vision. Retinopathy affects the retina, macular degeneration blurs central vision, and glaucoma damages the optic nerve.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about expected physiological changes in older adult clients. Which of the following changes should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Aging may exaggerate the startle reflex due to reduced neural inhibition. Muscle mass and body fat decrease, and systolic BP increases.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is receiving report on a group of clients. Using the ABCDE priority framework which of the following clients should the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Wheezing in pneumonia indicates airway compromise, a priority in the ABCDE framework (Airway, Breathing). Confusion, fever, and low urine output are less immediate.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose partner has recently died. The client states, 'I am learning how to pay my own bills.' The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following tasks in Worden’s Four Tasks of Grieving?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Learning to pay bills reflects adjusting to life without the deceased, a Worden task. Other tasks involve emotional processing or maintaining connection.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is on bedrest and is experiencing constipation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
