Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client about reducing the adverse effects of immobility. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hourly ankle and knee exercises prevent muscle atrophy, contractures, and thromboembolism by promoting circulation and mobility. Removing stockings reduces DVT protection, holding breath risks hypotension, and 4-hour repositioning is too infrequent—every 2 hours is standard.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to self-administer heparin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Injecting 2 inches from the umbilicus avoids vascular areas, reducing bleeding risk. An 18-gauge needle is too large (25-27 gauge is standard), air bubbles in prefilled syringes ensure full dosing, and massaging increases bruising risk due to heparin’s anticoagulant effect.
Question 3 of 5
A home health nurse is teaching a client about home safety. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: A: Grab bars prevent falls. B: Fire plans ensure safety. E: Checking expiration dates ensures medication efficacy. C: 140°F risks scalding (120-130°F is safer). D: Taping cords is unsafe—replace them.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports frequent headaches and believes balance is achieved through the concept of yin and yang. Which of the following foods should the nurse expect the client to choose to treat their headache?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), yin and yang describe balance between opposing forces. Headaches may indicate excess yang (warmth, activity). Honey, a yin-nourishing food with cooling properties, helps reduce yang energy. Fresh vegetables lack specific yin/yang ties, chicken is neutral, and chili peppers increase yang, potentially worsening the headache.
