Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is undergoing electroconvulsive therapy. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate to an assistive personnel?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assisting with ambulation is within the assistive personnel's scope, requiring no clinical judgment. Checking condition, witnessing consent, and administering medication require nursing expertise.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Morning stiffness, lasting over 30 minutes, is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis due to joint inflammation. Pain is bilateral, fever may occur but is less specific, and weight loss is more common.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client. The nurse should identify that which of the following manifestations is an indication of a candida infection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Yellow patches in the mouth indicate oral candidiasis (thrush), a Candida albicans infection, causing pain and difficulty swallowing. Hearing loss, night sweats, and brittle nails are not related.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is assessing a client who reports ingesting thirty diazepam tablets 20 minutes ago. The client is lethargic and has a respiratory rate of 10/min. After securing the client's airway and initiating an IV, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administering flumazenil, a benzodiazepine antagonist, is the priority to reverse diazepam overdose effects, such as lethargy and respiratory depression, by blocking GABA receptor binding. This prevents further respiratory compromise. Evaluating suicidal behavior is important but not urgent. Monitoring the IV site is secondary to reversing the overdose. Seizure precautions may be needed later but are not the immediate priority.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a school-age child who is 4 hr postoperative following appendicitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Scheduled analgesics for the first 24 hours manage postoperative pain effectively, promoting recovery and comfort. Clear liquids at 6 hours are appropriate but less critical than pain control. Warm compresses aren't standard for appendicitis. Cromolyn is for asthma, not postoperative care.
