1 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a client that has been having pain without a clear etiology. Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse write as most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ‘Acute pain related to unknown etiology’ accurately reflects the pain’s unclear cause, guiding further assessment. Option A lacks etiology, B assumes a psychosomatic cause without evidence, and D is less precise than ‘etiology.’
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's medical record. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a fall risk?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Multiple sclerosis causes muscle weakness, balance issues, and coordination problems, increasing fall risk. Inguinal hernia may cause discomfort, hyperlipidemia affects cholesterol, and hyperthyroidism may cause tremors, but none directly impact balance as significantly.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about palliative care. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Palliative care improves quality of life for serious illnesses at any stage, not just terminal cases, and complements curative care across settings. Prolonging life isn’t the focus, and it’s not facility-limited.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse working in the ER is admitting a toddler to the orthopedic unit. The parents and grandparents are at bedside. What should the nurse use as the best source of data for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Parents are the most reliable source for a toddler’s medical history, current symptoms, and behavioral changes, as they are primary caregivers with daily involvement. Grandparents may provide supplementary data, but parents have the most current insights. The admitting provider offers clinical assessments but lacks personal history depth. Medical records may be outdated or lack recent context.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports experiencing flashbacks of a traumatic event that occurred a year ago. The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following stress-related disorders?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: PTSD involves persistent symptoms like flashbacks and anxiety long after a traumatic event, fitting a year-long timeline. ASD occurs within one month post-trauma. Episodic acute stress is not a recognized diagnosis, and IBS is a gastrointestinal condition unrelated to flashbacks.
