Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is experiencing stress. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse ineffective coping?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sudden weight gain can be a sign of ineffective coping, such as emotional eating.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a newly licensed nurse about caring for a client who is a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist church. The nurse should include in the teaching that which of the following foods are restricted with this religion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Seventh-Day Adventists often avoid caffeine, as it is considered a stimulant.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data about a client's circulatory system. Which of the following pulse sites should the nurse avoid checking bilaterally at the same time?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Carotid. Checking the carotid pulse bilaterally simultaneously can potentially cause a vagal response leading to decreased heart rate and blood pressure. This could be dangerous, especially in clients with cardiovascular issues. Checking other pulse sites bilaterally at the same time is generally safe. Brachial, femoral, and popliteal pulse sites can be checked bilaterally without significant risk of vagal response.
Question 4 of 5
A 46-year-old African-American man is in an outpatient clinic for a physical examination. His BP is 126/84 mm Hg, his BMI is 24, and he reports no previous medical problems. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Provide information about how to reduce risk factors of hypertension. This action is appropriate because the patient's blood pressure is in the prehypertensive range (126/84 mm Hg), indicating the need for preventive measures. Providing information on reducing risk factors such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management can help prevent the development of hypertension.
Choice A is incorrect as annual follow-up is not sufficient for a prehypertensive patient.
Choice C is incorrect as scheduling a PSA test is not indicated based on the information provided.
Choice D is also incorrect as the patient's BMI is within the normal range, so a weight loss plan may not be necessary at this time.
