Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about liquid iron supplements with a client who has anemia. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Taking iron between meals maximizes absorption. Antacids and milk reduce absorption, and stools may change color sooner.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing vital signs obtained by an assistive personnel on a group of clients. The previous vital signs for each of the clients were obtained 4 hours earlier. Which of the following changes should the nurse identify as the priority finding?

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Limiting potassium prevents hyperkalemia in kidney disease. Protein is restricted, dairy increases phosphorus, and grains don't address key restrictions.
