A nurse is caring for a client who has syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and is receiving 3% sodium chloride via continuous IV. Which of the following laboratory findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the SIADH is resolving?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A normal urine specific gravity (1.02) indicates appropriate water excretion, suggesting resolving SIADH, as concentrated urine is typical in active SIADH.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) for the screening of colorectal cancer. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Avoiding corticosteroids prevents false-positive FOBT results due to their potential to cause gastrointestinal bleeding.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is receiving report on a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Urticaria and edema after cephalosporin administration suggest a possible allergic reaction, which could progress to anaphylaxis, requiring immediate assessment.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is to undergo a liver biopsy. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide to the client following the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lying on the right side post-liver biopsy compresses the biopsy site, reducing bleeding risk and promoting clot formation.

A nurse in a rural community is providing education to a group of clients about first aid interventions for snake bites to prevent further injury. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
