Question 1 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?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Elevating the arm on a pillow reduces edema and promotes comfort. Sleeping on the affected side, warm compresses, and lowering the arm worsen swelling.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has psoriasis. Which of the following treatment options should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Phototherapy treats psoriasis by reducing skin inflammation. Dermabrasion, benzoyl peroxide, and oil-based ointments are unsuitable.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a tracheostomy tube. Upon data collection, the nurse observes the client is restless and hears crackles in the lungs. Which of the following interventions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Restlessness and lung crackles suggest secretions blocking the tracheostomy, requiring suctioning. Saline instillation, cuff checks, and humidification don't address acute obstruction.

Correct Answer: B
