A nurse is collecting data from a client who has pernicious anemia. The nurse should identify that which of the following findings increases the client's risk for injury?
Correct Answer: A

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for duloxetine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting nausea is important with duloxetine, an SNRI, as it's a common side effect. It's taken flexibly, tyramine is unrelated, and mood improvement takes weeks.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Early ambulation post-cholecystectomy prevents complications like thrombosis and promotes recovery. Supine positioning is not required, laxatives are per need, and heating pads are contraindicated.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching new staff members about factors that increase a client's risk to become violent. Which of the following risk factors should the nurse include as the best predictor of future violence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Previous violent behavior is the strongest predictor of future violence, as past behavior often indicates future tendencies. Delusions, male gender, and prison history are less specific predictors.

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following foods should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spinach, high in vitamin K, can reduce warfarin's anticoagulant effect, so intake should be consistent or limited. Oranges, chicken, and potatoes have minimal impact.
