Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increased thirst and urination suggest hyperglycemia, requiring immediate reporting. Fasting glucose and weight gain are less urgent, and HbA1c reflects long-term control.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client about her current pain status. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to determine the quality of the client's pain?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Asking what pain feels like identifies its quality (e.g., burning, stabbing). Rating, consistency, and presence assess intensity, change, or existence.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting in the plan of care for a client who is dehydrated and is receiving IV fluid replacement. Which of the following interventions should the nurse contribute to the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Neck vein distention indicates fluid overload, a risk during IV fluid replacement. Oral fluids depend on condition, pulse pressure isn't specific, and limiting fluids risks dehydration.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has heart failure. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Frequent rest periods manage fatigue in heart failure. Fluid encouragement worsens overload, vital signs need more frequent checks, and weekly weights miss daily changes.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about breast self-examinations. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Asymmetrical breast size is normal. Monthly exams, dimpling as abnormal, and post-menstrual timing are correct practices.
