Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports frequent headaches and believes balance is achieved through the concept of yin and yang. Which of the following foods should the nurse expect the client to choose to treat their headache?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), yin and yang describe balance between opposing forces. Headaches may indicate excess yang (warmth, activity). Honey, a yin-nourishing food with cooling properties, helps reduce yang energy. Fresh vegetables lack specific yin/yang ties, chicken is neutral, and chili peppers increase yang, potentially worsening the headache.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching an older adult client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Walking three times weekly, a weight-bearing exercise, boosts bone density. Avoiding sun reduces vitamin D, decreasing dairy cuts calcium, and 250 mg calcium is too low—older adults need 1000-1200 mg daily.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a female client who has liver dysfunction and is receiving a continuous tube feeding. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a protein deficiency?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Low albumin (3.1 g/dL) indicates protein deficiency, common in liver dysfunction. High transferrin and TIBC suggest iron issues, and low uric acid isn’t protein-related.
