Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of hyperthyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Heat intolerance is expected in hyperthyroidism due to increased metabolism. Weight loss, tachycardia, and restlessness, not fatigue, are typical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who states he recently purchased lavender oil to use when he gets the flu. The nurse should recognize which of the following findings as a potential contraindication for using lavender?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lavender oil can irritate airways and exacerbate asthma, making it a contraindication. Furosemide, alcohol use disorder, and vitamin C have no direct interactions with lavender oil.
Question 3 of 5
An older client with a history of heart failure is admitted with influenza and requests assistance to sit up in bed to eat lunch. The nurse observes the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) wearing a gown and gloves to assist the client. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client has influenza, a droplet-transmitted respiratory illness. The UAP is in close contact with the client, so a face mask is necessary in addition to a gown and gloves to prevent virus spread, per CDC guidelines. A fitted respirator mask is not required for influenza, as it is not airborne like tuberculosis. Reassigning the UAP is unnecessary since adding a face mask completes the PPE. Instructing the UAP to report respiratory changes is good practice but does not address the immediate PPE need.
