Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has difficulty swallowing medications and food. The nurse should recognize that the client is experiencing which of the following:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing. Anorexia is appetite loss, aphasia is language impairment, and dysphasia overlaps but is less specific here.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a male client about the reproductive system. The nurse recognizes that which structure secretes a thin milky alkaline fluid to enhance the viability of sperm?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Cowper (bulbourethral) gland secretes alkaline fluid to neutralize urethral acidity, aiding sperm viability. Note: Option C is a synonym but A is listed as correct.
Question 3 of 5
A client reports pain in the left wrist after falling while playing basketball. After assessing the wrist,which of the following assessment finding would make the nurse suspect a fracture?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sharp pain that worsens with movement is a common fracture sign due to bone movement, unlike dull pain or aches which suggest strain or other issues.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to screen a client for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Which of the following techniques should the nurse recognize as the appropriate technique to screen for DVT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Measuring calf circumference detects swelling indicative of DVT. Ankle measurement, pulse checks, or compression assess circulation, not DVT specifically.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment and finds that the client has a non-tarry and black stool. Which of the following subjective data should the nurse document as normal findings consistent with non-tarry black stool?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Consuming red meat can cause black stools due to its breakdown products, a normal finding. Iron supplements darken stools differently, while dry heaves and appetite loss are unrelated.
