Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client about preventing skin cancer. Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: There is no evidence that a high-fiber diet reduces skin cancer risk, indicating a misunderstanding. Other statements reflect correct preventive measures.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning a diet for a client who is iron deficient. Which of the following foods high in iron should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Red meat is a rich source of heme iron, highly bioavailable and effective for addressing iron deficiency. Other options have less or no significant iron content.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has fluid overload. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,C,E
Rationale: Tachycardia occurs as the heart compensates for increased blood volume. Hypertension results from increased vascular resistance due to excess fluid. Increased respiratory rate is due to pulmonary congestion from fluid overload. Hematocrit decreases due to dilution, and temperature is not directly affected.
Question 4 of 5
A home health nurse is assessing an older adult client in the home who has decreased vision due to a history of glaucoma. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a safety risk?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Scatter rugs can cause tripping and slipping, posing a significant fall risk for someone with vision impairment. Handrails provide support and help prevent falls, making them a safety feature, not a risk. Electrical cords placed along walls reduce tripping hazards. A microwave is generally safer than a stove, reducing the risk of burns and fires.
Question 5 of 5
While performing an admission assessment for a client, the nurse notes that the client has varicose veins with ulcerations and lower extremity edema with a report of a feeling of heaviness. Which of the following nursing diagnoses should the nurse identify as being the priority in the client's care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Impaired tissue perfusion is the priority because varicose veins, ulcerations, and edema suggest poor blood flow, which can lead to worsening complications. Addressing perfusion improves skin integrity and prevents further deterioration, making it more critical than activity tolerance or body image.
