Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who is to perform peritoneal dialysis at home. Which information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warming the dialysate solution before instillation prevents discomfort and cramping during peritoneal dialysis.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is in the oliguric phase of an acute kidney injury. Which of the following clinical manifestations would be consistent with the condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pulmonary edema is a common manifestation in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury. This phase is characterized by decreased urine output, leading to fluid overload and subsequent complications such as pulmonary edema, where fluid accumulates in the lungs.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client's eyes and notes that when the client looks at a near object, the pupil constricts, but when the client looks at an object in the distance, the pupil dilates. The nurse should identify this finding as which condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Accommodation is the process by which the eye adjusts its focus from near to distant objects (or vice versa). This involves changes in the shape of the lens, controlled by the ciliary muscles. The client's ability to focus on objects at varying distances correctly describes the accommodation process.
Question 4 of 5
A client diagnosed with angina pectoris appears to be very anxious and states, 'So I had a heart attack, right?' Which response should the nurse make to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Explaining that the client did not have a heart attack but emphasizing the importance of monitoring and managing chest pain provides accurate information and reassurance.
Question 5 of 5
A client prescribed albuterol sulfate by inhalation is unable to cough up secretions. What actions should the nurse teach the client to help clear bronchial secretions effectively?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increasing the amount of fluids consumed helps to thin bronchial secretions, making them easier to cough up, which is an effective method for managing secretions.
