Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose partner has recently died. The client states, 'I am learning how to pay my own bills.' The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following tasks in Worden’s Four Tasks of Grieving?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Learning to pay bills reflects adjusting to life without the deceased, a Worden task. Other tasks involve emotional processing or maintaining connection.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about expected physiological changes in older adult clients. Which of the following changes should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Aging may exaggerate the startle reflex due to reduced neural inhibition. Muscle mass and body fat decrease, and systolic BP increases.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is on bedrest and is experiencing constipation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increasing fluid intake softens stool and promotes bowel movements, especially for bedridden clients. Low-fiber diets worsen constipation, mineral oil is not first-line, and fluid temperature is irrelevant.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an ophthalmic medication to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nasolacrimal duct pressure prevents systemic absorption. Cleaning is inner to outer, tight squeezing expels medication, and corneal instillation causes irritation.
