Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client about her current pain status. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to determine the quality of the client's pain?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Asking what pain feels like identifies its quality (e.g., burning, stabbing). Rating, consistency, and presence assess intensity, change, or existence.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a history of heart failure and is receiving a loop diuretic. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Weight gain of 1 kg in 24 hours suggests fluid retention, worsening heart failure. Normal potassium, BP, and heart rate don't require reporting.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has disuse syndrome following cast removal from a lower extremity. Which of the following referrals should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Occupational therapy improves daily function in disuse syndrome. Social workers, herbalists, and dietitians don't address physical function directly.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving peritoneal dialysis. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cloudy dialysate suggests infection, requiring immediate reporting. Clear output, weight loss, and no pain are expected.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to ensure proper use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Inhaling quickly while pressing the canister ensures medication delivery. Holding breath for 10 seconds, rinsing first, or shaking for 10 seconds are incorrect.
