Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a guardian of a child who has ADHD. Which of the following strategies should the nurse suggest to improve the child's ability to concentrate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Minimizing distractions helps children with ADHD focus better. Handwriting, varying schedules, or reading outdoors may not enhance concentration and could be counterproductive.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 12 hr postoperative following a below-the-knee amputation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using an overbed trapeze promotes mobility and prevents pressure injuries. Turning every 2 hours, not 4, is needed, air mattresses are not specific, and bandages are rewrapped every 4–6 hours in a figure-eight pattern.
Question 3 of 5
A school nurse is using the Weber's test to check a child's hearing acuity. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Place a vibrating tuning fork on the top of the child's head. This assesses if sound is heard equally in both ears, differentiating hearing loss types. Tympanograms, holding near ears, or timing are not part of the Weber test.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has schizophrenia and is taking risperidone. Which of the following adverse effects of the medication is the priority finding for the nurse to report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Irregular pulse is the priority finding because risperidone can prolong the QT interval, increasing the risk of serious cardiac arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes, which can be life-threatening. Constipation, visual disturbances, and dry mouth are less urgent.
