Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an older adult client as part of a neurosensory examination. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect as changes associated w/aging? Select all.
Correct Answer: B, C, D
Rationale: The correct answers are B, C, and D. Vision and hearing decline is common with aging due to changes in the sensory organs. Slower fine finger movement is expected as decreased motor coordination occurs. Short-term memory decline is characteristic of aging as cognitive processes may slow down. Slower light touch and superficial pain sensation are not typical age-related changes. These sensations are primarily affected by nerve function rather than aging.
Question 2 of 5
A nursing instructor is reviewing the wound healing process with a group of nursing students. They should be able to identify which of the following alterations as a wound or injury that heals by secondary intention? Select all.

Rationale: The correct answers are A and E. Wounds healing by secondary intention involve tissue loss and heal from the bottom up, such as Stage III pressure ulcers and open burn areas. These wounds require more tissue regeneration and granulation tissue formation.
Choices B and D heal by primary intention with minimal tissue loss and precise wound edges.
Choice C heals by tertiary intention, where there is a delay in wound closure.
Choices F and G are likely irrelevant options.
Question 3 of 5
A provider is discharging a client with a prescription for home oxygen therapy via nasal cannula. Client & family teaching by the nurse should include which of the following? Select all.
