Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of osteoarthritis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Joint pain with activity is typical in osteoarthritis due to cartilage wear. Morning stiffness is shorter than in rheumatoid arthritis, and fever or weight loss are not characteristic.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A temperature of 38.2°C (100.8°F) during a transfusion suggests a febrile reaction, requiring provider notification. Normal blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate are not urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for losartan. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reporting swelling of the lips is critical with losartan, an ARB, due to risk of angioedema. Grapefruit juice is unrelated, weight gain is not expected, and potassium intake needs monitoring.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of hypothyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Constipation is expected in hypothyroidism due to slowed metabolism. Weight gain, cold intolerance, and bradycardia are more common.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Swelling in the affected arm suggests lymphedema, a complication post-mastectomy, requiring provider notification. Pain, serous drainage, and mild fever are expected.
