Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a newly prescribed hearing aid. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Gradually increasing wearing time allows the client to adjust to the hearing aid’s sound levels, preventing discomfort. Turning the volume to maximum can cause distortion, hearing aids last several years, and removing the battery during non-use preserves its life. Cleaning with alcohol can damage the hearing aid.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative and has a new prescription to advance her diet to full liquids. Which of the following foods should the nurse offer the client as a part of a full liquid diet?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Plain yogurt is appropriate for a full liquid diet, as it is liquid or melts at body temperature. Oatmeal, applesauce, scrambled eggs, and mashed potatoes are not part of a full liquid diet, as they have a thicker consistency.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving continuous enteral feeding via NG tube. Which of the following is an unexpected finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A gastric residual of 300 mL at the end of the shift is unexpected, as residuals exceeding 500 mL every 6 hours may indicate poor gastric emptying or intolerance to feeding, requiring further assessment. Weight gain is expected, a blood glucose level of 110 mg/dL is normal, and one episode of diarrhea is not uncommon with enteral feeding. Abdominal distension would be unexpected but is not listed as a finding here.
Extract:
A nurse is documenting client care.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following abbreviations should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The abbreviation 'BRP' for bathroom privileges is commonly accepted in medical documentation and clearly indicates that a client is permitted to use the bathroom. 'SC' is not standard (SubQ or SQ is preferred for subcutaneous), 'SS' can be confused with other terms and should be written as 'sliding scale,' and 'OJ' is not a medical abbreviation, as 'orange juice' should be written out to avoid confusion. 'QID' means four times daily, not every four hours, and is less relevant here.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is delegating client care tasks to assistive personnel. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Performing a simple dressing change is within the scope of assistive personnel, freeing the nurse for more complex tasks. Changing IV tubing, inserting an NG tube, evaluating healing, and administering medications require a licensed nurse’s expertise.
