Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of diverticulitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Left lower quadrant pain is typical in diverticulitis due to inflamed sigmoid colon diverticula. Fever and diarrhea may occur, but right upper quadrant pain is unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate 4 hr ago. The nurse notes pink-tinged urine in the drainage bag. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pink-tinged urine is expected post-TURP due to minor bleeding; maintaining the irrigation rate is appropriate unless bleeding worsens, warranting provider notification. Replacing the catheter is unnecessary, Credé's maneuver is irrelevant, and warming the solution doesn't address bleeding.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for alprazolam. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Avoiding alcohol is critical with alprazolam, a benzodiazepine, due to risk of severe sedation. It can be taken with or without food, weight changes are not typical, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
