Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has a chest tube set to continuous suction to relieve a pneumothorax. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Keeping the drainage system below chest level ensures proper drainage and prevents backflow. Supine positioning may hinder drainage, routine emptying isn't needed, and clamping can interfere with suction.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with new parents about car seat safety. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Rationale: Phenytoin can cause gingival hyperplasia, leading to swollen gums, a common side effect clients should monitor. It's teratogenic, skipping doses risks seizures, and blood work frequency varies.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with a client whose pre-pregnancy BMI was 30.5. The nurse should include which of the following is an acceptable weight gain for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: For a BMI of 30.5 (obese), a weight gain of 11-20 pounds is recommended. 16 pounds falls within this range, supporting healthy pregnancy outcomes without excess gain.
