Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetes mellitus and had a below-the-knee amputation 2 days ago. Which of the following statements by the client should the nurse identify as an indication that the client has a body image disturbance?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A body image disturbance is reflected in the client's negative perception of their physical self.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting in interviewing a client who is being admitted from a long-term care facility. In which of the following situations should the nurse ask a closed-ended question?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Closed-ended questions are useful for obtaining specific, factual information, such as whether the client took their medications.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data about a client's cardiac functioning. The nurse auscultates an S3 sound. Which of the following causes should the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ventricular gallop. An S3 sound is indicative of a ventricular gallop, which occurs when the ventricles fill rapidly in early diastole. This sound is often associated with conditions like heart failure or volume overload. The S3 sound is heard immediately after the S2 sound, which is the closure of the semilunar valves.
Therefore, the S3 sound is not related to the closing of semilunar valves (choice
D). Atrial gallop (choice
A) is not associated with the S3 sound. The S3 sound is not caused by the closing of the atrioventricular valves (choice
C) but rather by the rapid filling of the ventricles.
Question 4 of 5
A 46-year-old African-American man is in an outpatient clinic for a physical examination. His BP is 126/84 mm Hg, his BMI is 24, and he reports no previous medical problems. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Provide information about how to reduce risk factors of hypertension. This action is appropriate because the patient's blood pressure is in the prehypertensive range (126/84 mm Hg), indicating the need for preventive measures. Providing information on reducing risk factors such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management can help prevent the development of hypertension.
Choice A is incorrect as annual follow-up is not sufficient for a prehypertensive patient.
Choice C is incorrect as scheduling a PSA test is not indicated based on the information provided.
Choice D is also incorrect as the patient's BMI is within the normal range, so a weight loss plan may not be necessary at this time.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires a clear liquid diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse allow the client to have?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Grape juice. Clear liquid diet includes transparent liquids that leave little residue in the GI tract. Grape juice fits this criteria as it is a clear liquid. Lemon sherbet, skim milk, and carrot juice are not allowed on a clear liquid diet as they are not transparent liquids and may leave residue. Lemon sherbet contains dairy and pulp, skim milk is not a clear liquid, and carrot juice has pulp and is not transparent.
