Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires a clear liquid diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse allow the client to have?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Grape juice. Clear liquid diet includes transparent liquids that leave little residue in the GI tract. Grape juice fits this criteria as it is a clear liquid. Lemon sherbet, skim milk, and carrot juice are not allowed on a clear liquid diet as they are not transparent liquids and may leave residue. Lemon sherbet contains dairy and pulp, skim milk is not a clear liquid, and carrot juice has pulp and is not transparent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is performing tracheostomy care for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Securing new tracheostomy ties before removing old ones prevents accidental displacement. Medical asepsis is insufficient; sterile technique is required.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving oxygen at 2 L/min via a nasal cannula. From this information, the nurse should identify that the client is receiving which of the following oxygen concentrations?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A nasal cannula at 2 L/min delivers approximately 28% oxygen concentration. Higher values correspond to mask or higher flow rates.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is receiving intermittent enteral feedings. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse identify as an indication that the client needs a change in the formula?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: BUN 28 mg/dL. This indicates the client needs a change in the enteral feeding formula as it suggests poor protein utilization. A high BUN level may indicate inadequate protein intake or impaired protein metabolism. Hematocrit, urine specific gravity, and sodium levels are not directly related to the assessment of enteral feeding adequacy. Thus, choices A, B, and D are incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse plans to reinforce discharge teaching with a client. Of the following barriers to learning the nurse identifies with this client, which should the nurse interpret as a need to postpone the session?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Pain. Pain can significantly affect a client's ability to concentrate and retain information during a teaching session. The client may be too preoccupied with managing their pain to effectively participate in the teaching. This barrier should be addressed first before proceeding with discharge teaching.
The other choices (B: Hearing loss, C: The client's culture, D: Motor impairment) may pose challenges but can be accommodated through appropriate communication strategies, cultural sensitivity, and adapted teaching methods.
