Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of peptic ulcer disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Epigastric pain is typical in peptic ulcer disease, often relieved by food or antacids. Right lower quadrant pain, fever, or diarrhea are not characteristic.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An abduction pillow prevents dislocation by maintaining hip alignment post-hip arthroplasty. Crossing legs or warm compresses increase dislocation risk, and weight-bearing follows protocol.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for methotrexate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting signs of infection is critical with methotrexate, an immunosuppressant, due to infection risk. Antacids are unrelated, pain relief is not immediate, and vitamin C is not specific.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of migraines. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nausea is common in migraines, often accompanying headache and visual disturbances. Leg pain, chest tightness, or fever are not typical.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dopamine. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Infiltration at the IV site with dopamine, a vasopressor, risks tissue damage and requires immediate provider notification. Normal blood pressure, urine output, and heart rate are not urgent.
