Extract:
Question 1 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 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
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.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased urinary output indicates furosemide is reducing fluid retention in heart failure. Decreased BUN may suggest overhydration, decreased hemoglobin indicates anemia, and weight gain suggests fluid overload.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of stroke. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Unilateral arm weakness is typical post-stroke due to hemispheric brain damage. Bilateral weakness, fever, or abdominal pain are not specific to stroke.
