Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has left lower-lobe atelectasis. In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client for postural drainage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Right lateral Trendelenburg elevates the left lower lobe, using gravity to drain secretions. Low-Fowler’s, right-side elevation, and prone positions don’t target this area effectively.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching an older adult client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Walking three times weekly, a weight-bearing exercise, boosts bone density. Avoiding sun reduces vitamin D, decreasing dairy cuts calcium, and 250 mg calcium is too low—older adults need 1000-1200 mg daily.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is performing an eye assessment for a newly admitted client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Eyelashes curling outward are normal, protecting the eye. Opaque corneas, dilated pupils (8-9 mm), and excessive blinking (30-35/min vs. 15-20) are abnormal.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of possible anaphylaxis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A sharp drop in blood pressure is a key anaphylaxis symptom, indicating shock. Swelling in feet, injection site pain, and decreased heart rate (late-stage) aren’t primary indicators—tachycardia is more typical early on. Note: Question seems misaligned; likely intended for osteoporosis, not anaphylaxis.
