Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of breast cancer. The client states, 'I don't understand why this is happening to me.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Acknowledging the client's feelings and offering to discuss them provides emotional support and encourages coping. Dismissing the concern, trivializing the diagnosis, or redirecting to treatment is dismissive.
Question 2 of 5
A home health nurse is planning care for a client who has Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Placing locks at the tops of exterior doors prevents wandering, a common and dangerous behavior in Alzheimer's patients, ensuring safety. Zippers versus buttons don't address safety. Hardwood floors may reduce falls but aren't specific to Alzheimer's. Physical activity before bed may disrupt sleep, not enhance safety.
