Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports an area of redness, warmth, tenderness and pain in the right calf. The nurse anticipates which of the following orders when notifying the provider of this finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Symptoms suggest deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and a venous duplex ultrasound is the standard diagnostic test to confirm a thrombus. Other options are less reliable or inappropriate.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client about preventing skin cancer. Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: There is no evidence that a high-fiber diet reduces skin cancer risk, indicating a misunderstanding. Other statements reflect correct preventive measures.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a group of clients about causes for developing hearing loss, which of the following risk factors should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prolonged exposure to loud noises causes noise-induced hearing loss. Environmental toxins can also contribute, but noise exposure is the most direct and common risk factor.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent who has hemophilia A and is scheduled for wisdom teeth extractions. Prior to the procedure, the nurse should anticipate that the client will receive which of the following products?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Recombinant factor VIII is a synthetic form of the clotting factor deficient in hemophilia A, used to increase factor VIII levels before procedures to prevent excessive bleeding. Packed RBCs treat anemia, not clotting deficiencies. Fresh frozen plasma contains all clotting factors but is less targeted than recombinant factor VIII. Prophylactic antibiotics prevent infection, not bleeding.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning nutritional teaching for a client who is experiencing fatigue due to iron deficiency anemia. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Black beans are high in iron, making them an excellent dietary choice for iron deficiency anemia. Milk can inhibit iron absorption due to calcium, raisins have less iron than beans, and tea contains tannins that reduce iron absorption.
