Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a scheduled procedure. While preparing the client for transport they appear anxious and ask the nurse where they should hide their cellphone during the procedure. The nurse offers to lock the item in a secure area. Which category of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is the nurse addressing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Securing the cellphone addresses safety needs, ensuring protection of belongings. Esteem, love, and physiological needs are not directly related to this concern.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a terminal diagnosis and states, 'I am ready to update my will.' The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following Kubler-Ross stages of grief?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Updating a will reflects acceptance, the final Kubler-Ross stage, indicating peace with the diagnosis. Denial, anger, and bargaining involve resistance or negotiation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has had partial removal of the parathyroid gland. The client reports numbness and tingling of the hands and fingers. Which lab value would the nurse expect to see?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Partial parathyroidectomy reduces PTH, causing hypocalcemia (7.5 mg/dL), leading to numbness and tingling. Chloride and potassium are unrelated, and high calcium is not expected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at risk for a pressure injury. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A high-calorie, high-protein diet supports skin integrity and healing. High bed elevation risks shearing, massaging damages tissue, and repositioning should be every 2 hours.

Correct Answer: 10
Rationale: Calculation: 5 mg / 0.5 mg/tablet = 10 tablets.
