Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following an appendectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Red streaks suggest infection, requiring reporting. Normal temperature, expected drainage, and hypoactive bowels are less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the results of a client's fecal occult blood screening test. Which of the following findings from the client's history should the nurse identify as potentially causing a false-positive result?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ibuprofen can cause GI bleeding, leading to a false-positive fecal occult blood test. Breast cancer, citrus juice, and past hemorrhoidectomy don't affect results.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following an open cholecystectomy. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Green-brown drainage suggests bile leakage, a serious complication requiring reporting. Shoulder pain, moderate incisional pain, and a dry dressing are expected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a BMI of 32 and wants to lose weight. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to promote the client's weight loss?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reducing 500 calories daily promotes safe weight loss. High fat, refined grains, and food rewards hinder progress.
