Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypoxemia is expected in COPD due to impaired gas exchange. Barrel-shaped chest is common, but bradypnea and weight gain are not; tachypnea and weight loss are more typical.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about medication administration. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing clients about the action of each medication promotes patient education, enhances adherence, and improves outcomes. Avoiding preparing medications for multiple clients reduces errors but is not an absolute rule. Reading labels multiple times is good practice but not always a standard requirement. Incident reports are needed only for adverse reactions or errors, not routine vomiting.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a craniotomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clear drainage from the surgical site may indicate a cerebrospinal fluid leak, requiring immediate provider notification. Pain, mild fever, and normal heart rate are expected post-craniotomy.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has bipolar disorder and is experiencing mania. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Disorganized speech is expected in mania, reflecting rapid, pressured thoughts. Hypersomnia, flat affect, and weight gain are more associated with depression, not mania.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in an outpatient mental health clinic is assessing an adolescent client. The nurse should expect the adolescent to be in which of the following of Erikson's stages of psychosocial development?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Adolescents (ages 12-18) are in Erikson's identity vs. role confusion stage, focusing on developing a sense of self and personal identity. Trust vs. mistrust is for infants, intimacy vs. isolation is for young adults, and generativity vs. self-absorption is for middle adults.
