Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is ordering a breakfast meal tray for a client who has dysphagia and a prescription for a mechanically altered diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse select?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pancakes with syrup are soft and easy to swallow, suitable for a mechanically altered diet. Granola, toast, and muffins pose choking risks due to texture.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 32 weeks of gestation and has deep-vein thrombosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Measure and record the client's leg circumferences daily. This monitors swelling and DVT progression. Flexed knees impede blood flow, RBC monitoring is irrelevant, and warfarin is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who is postpartum about caring for their newborn's umbilical cord. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the umbilical cord area clean and dry with water prevents infection. Covering with a diaper, reporting minor bleeding, or applying petroleum jelly are incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a group of clients about complementary and alternative therapies using herbs. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: I can use chamomile tea to promote sleep. Chamomile has calming properties and is commonly used as a natural remedy to promote relaxation and improve sleep. Herbs can interact with medications, ginger treats nausea, and herbal medicines are not FDA-regulated like drugs.
