Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a terminal illness. The client states, 'I am not giving up. I want as much treatment as possible.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Contacting the provider respects the client’s wish for aggressive treatment, facilitating options discussion. Other responses dismiss or misalign with the client’s goals.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has decreased mobility about passive range-of-motion exercises. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Repeating movements 3-5 times maintains mobility safely. Pain risks injury, quick moves lack control, and once daily is insufficient—multiple sessions are typical.

Correct Answer: A,C,E
Rationale: A: High-Fowler’s aids breathing. C: Oxygen treats hypoxia. E: Stopping transfusion prevents further overload (possible TRALI). B: Epinephrine is for anaphylaxis, not overload. D: Diuretic needs provider order post-assessment.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer intermittent tube feeding to a client who has a percutaneous gastrostomy tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale: Flushing with 5 mL water maintains patency and clears residue. pH checks are for NG tubes, 8-hour checks are too infrequent, and supine positioning risks aspiration—semi-upright is preferred.
