Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an adolescent client. Which of the following behaviors should the nurse expect an adolescent who has achieved successful resolution of the developmental tasks of identity vs. role confusion to exhibit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Expresses her opinions. Adolescents who have successfully resolved the developmental task of identity vs. role confusion are confident in their identity and are more likely to express their opinions assertively. This behavior reflects a strong sense of self and independence, key elements of successful resolution.
Choices B, C, and D are not directly related to the developmental task of identity vs. role confusion. Using time effectively, starting and completing tasks, and establishing close relationships can be important skills but do not specifically indicate successful resolution of this developmental task.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to remove an NG tube for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, verify provider order to discontinue the tube. This is the first step because the nurse must always follow the provider's order before proceeding with any intervention. Without a valid order, the nurse cannot remove the NG tube. Option A is incorrect as disconnecting the tube from the wall suction can cause discomfort to the client if not done in the right order. Option B is important but should be done after confirming the provider's order. Option C is relevant but assessing the drainage amount and color can be done after verifying the order.
Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In a 24-hr urine collection, the client needs to discard the first urine voided and start the collection time from that point. This ensures that the collection accurately reflects the substances excreted over the 24-hour period. By discarding the initial urine, the nurse helps prevent skewed results due to overnight accumulation.
Incorrect
Choices:
B: Keeping the collection container at room temperature is not necessary for the accuracy of the collection.
C: Saving each urine collection in a separate container would lead to inaccuracies, as the purpose of a 24-hr collection is to combine all urine produced over the specified time frame.
D: Saving the final urine in a separate container at the end of the collection time is incorrect, as all urine produced during the 24-hour period should be collected in one container.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of chronic renal failure. The nurse should recognize which of the following client statements as an indication of anticipatory grief?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Anticipatory grief occurs when a client is experiencing distress about future losses, such as lifestyle changes due to dialysis.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who practices Orthodox Judaism. The nurse should identify that which of the following foods together on the same dinner tray violates the client's religious practices?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. According to Orthodox Judaism dietary laws, meat and dairy products cannot be consumed together or even served on the same plate.
Therefore, having kosher roast beef (meat) and ice cream (dairy) on the same dinner tray violates the client's religious practices. Carrot sticks and cottage cheese are both dairy and can be consumed together. Macaroni and cheese is a dairy dish but does not violate the rule as it contains only dairy ingredients. Kosher chicken breast and boiled potatoes are both meat products and can be served together without violating the dietary laws.
