Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has Parkinson's disease and is starting to display bradykinesia. Which of the following is an appropriate action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Giving extra time for activities accommodates bradykinesia, reducing frustration and promoting independence. Low-protein diets may interfere with medication, fast walking increases fall risk, and passive exercises don't directly address slowness of movement.
Question 2 of 5
A nursing preceptor is reviewing life expectancy in the twentieth century with a new nurse. The nurse should recognize that which of the following was most responsible for the dramatic increase in life expectancy during the twentieth century?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sanitation and public health activities, such as clean water, sewage systems, and vaccinations, drastically reduced infectious disease mortality, significantly increasing life expectancy. Antibiotics, medical technology, and surgical advances contributed later but were less impactful initially.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has experienced a hemorrhagic stroke. Which intervention should the nurse prioritize when providing care to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Monitoring vital signs and neurological status frequently is critical to detect changes in a hemorrhagic stroke patient, preventing complications. Active exercises (
A) are secondary, strict bed rest (
B) is not ideal, and anticoagulants (
D) are contraindicated due to bleeding risk.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is educating nursing students on the importance of client-centered community-based care. The nurse understands that which of the following principles is most essential to client-centered, community-based care in nursing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tailoring care plans to individual needs and preferences within the community ensures client-centered care, respecting cultural and social contexts. Ignoring backgrounds, hospital focus, or prioritizing efficiency over satisfaction contradicts this approach.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who was injured by a blast of high-order explosives. Medics report secondary injuries from the explosion. The nurse anticipates what type of injuries?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Penetrating injuries are characteristic of secondary blast injuries, caused by flying debris and shrapnel propelled at high velocity from the explosion. These injuries penetrate the skin and tissues, often requiring urgent surgical intervention. Blunt force trauma is associated with tertiary blast injuries, hollow organ damage with primary blast injuries, and post-trauma stress disorder is a psychological condition, not a physical secondary injury.
