Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to test a client's plantar Babinski reflex. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give to prepare the client for this test?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Babinski reflex is tested by stroking the sole of the foot, eliciting toe response. Other options test different reflexes (Achilles, patellar, triceps).
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the discharge of an older adult client who has early onset dementia and lives with their adult child who works full time. Which of the following resources should the nurse recommend to the family to assist with the client's care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Adult day care provides supervision and activities during work hours, supporting the child's schedule. Hospice is for terminal illness, long-term care may be premature, and senior centers lack needed oversight.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse at an outpatient clinic receives a call from a client who reports experiencing syncope after starting a new prescription for enalapril. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Enalapril can cause orthostatic hypotension leading to syncope; rising slowly minimizes this risk. Fluid decrease worsens it, pulse isn't key, and potassium isn't directly related.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting a client who has irritable bowel syndrome with meal selections. Which of the following foods should the nurse remind the client to include in her diet?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Yogurt's probiotics can ease IBS symptoms like bloating. Honey and watermelon may ferment, worsening symptoms, and ice cream's fat/lactose can aggravate.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardians of a 6-year-old child who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A medical ID wristband alerts others to CF in emergencies. Involving the child, annual flu vaccines, and school decisions depend on individual needs.
