Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is conducting a fall risk assessment for her clients. The nurse should identify that which of the following clients is the greatest risk for a fall?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Confusion and urinary frequency increase fall risk due to disorientation and frequent bathroom trips, posing a greater risk than hearing impairment, foot dressings, or walker use with osteoarthritis.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a group of clients. Which of the following clients is eligible for hospice care? (Select All that Apply)
Correct Answer: A,C,E
Rationale: Clients with stage IV breast cancer (3-month prognosis), end-stage kidney disease post-dialysis, and terminal lung cancer discontinuing treatment are eligible for hospice due to life expectancy of six months or less. COPD and diabetes clients don’t automatically qualify without a terminal prognosis.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is conducting a nutritional class on minerals and electrolytes. The nurse should include which of the following foods is a major source of magnesium?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tuna is a significant source of magnesium, supporting muscle, nerve, and bone health.
Tomatoes, eggs, and oranges provide other nutrients but are not major magnesium sources compared to fish, nuts, or leafy greens.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for the client with cardiac and renal disease. The client now has a serum potassium level of 6.0 mEq/L. Which medications, if prescribed, should the nurse administer? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Calcium gluconate stabilizes cardiac membranes against hyperkalemia effects. Dextrose and insulin shift potassium into cells, lowering serum levels. Colace is irrelevant to hyperkalemia. Potassium chloride would worsen hyperkalemia.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse manager is observing an AP applying wrist restraints for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse identify as an indication that the AP understands the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Padding against bony prominences protects the skin. Two fingers should fit between the restraint and wrist, quick-release knots are used, and restraints are tied to the bed frame, not side rails.
