Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Polyuria is expected in type 2 diabetes due to hyperglycemia-induced osmotic diuresis. Weight gain, tachycardia, and no fever are more common.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse instruct the client to take prior to initiating postural drainage?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using an albuterol inhaler before postural drainage opens airways, aiding mucus clearance in cystic fibrosis. Eating risks vomiting, pancrelipase is for digestion, and oral hygiene is unrelated to drainage.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has an electrolyte imbalance. Which of the following foods should the nurse include as the highest in potassium?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sweet potatoes are high in potassium (541 mg per medium serving), aiding electrolyte balance. Chicken, wheat bread, and canned green beans have lower potassium content (<300 mg per serving).

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a chest tube with a water seal drainage system. Upon assessment, the nurse notes tidaling in the water seal. Which of the following is an explanation for the tidaling?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tidaling in the water seal chamber, where the water level rises and falls with respirations, indicates a patent chest tube connected to the pleural space and an airtight drainage system, showing proper function. If the lung has re-expanded, tidaling would stop due to restored pleural pressure. A loop of tubing could cause fluid accumulation, not tidaling. Obstruction by clots would prevent tidaling, causing stagnant water levels and possible respiratory distress.
