Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a suspected peptic ulcer. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Epigastric pain is a hallmark of peptic ulcers, often relieved by eating or antacids. Constipation, not diarrhea, is more common, and fever or weight gain are not typical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a placenta previa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Spotting is common in placenta previa due to the placenta's abnormal implantation near the cervical os, causing vaginal bleeding. Nausea is unrelated. A board-like abdomen suggests peritonitis, not previa. Delayed menses indicates pregnancy but not specifically previa.
