Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has partial-thickness burns on 50% of his body and is receiving total parenteral nutrition. The nurse should actively monitor the client for which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TPN's high glucose content risks hyperglycemia, requiring monitoring. Calcium, bowel sounds, and abdominal pain are less directly related.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing a client for a sigmoidoscopy. In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Knee-chest position allows optimal rectal access for sigmoidoscopy. Orthopneic aids breathing, Trendelenburg risks pressure, and prone is unsuitable.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting admission history data from a client who is in a semi-private room. Which of the following data is the priority for the nurse to address?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: TB exposure risks transmission to others, making it the priority. Anxiety, migraines, and nocturia are less urgent.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hyperthyroidism causes heat intolerance due to increased metabolism. Weight loss, tachycardia, and diarrhea are typical, not gain, bradycardia, or constipation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote comfort?
