Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is immunocompromised. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hand hygiene with alcohol-based rub before contact reduces infection risk in immunocompromised clients. Semiprivate rooms increase exposure, masks may not be sufficient, and sterile gloves are unnecessary for routine perineal care.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports that she has insomnia. Which of the following interventions is appropriate for the nurse to recommend?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A light carbohydrate snack promotes sleep by increasing tryptophan levels. Napping can disrupt nighttime sleep, exercise close to bedtime increases alertness, and cocoa contains caffeine, which can worsen insomnia.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing instruction to a client who has diabetes mellitus about foot care. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Applying lotion while avoiding between toes prevents fungal infections. Pumice stones, going barefoot, and heating pads increase injury risk in diabetic clients.

A nurse is caring for a client who reports a pain level of 5 on a scale from 0 to 10. The client informs the nurse that pain medications are not an option for managing pain. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dismissing the client’s preference is inappropriate. Herbal remedies require provider approval. Offering a back massage is a non-pharmacological intervention that respects the client’s wishes. Questioning the client’s reasoning may seem confrontational.
