Question 1 of 5
A nurse is receiving report on a group of clients. Using the ABCDE priority framework which of the following clients should the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: C

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to use crutches. Which of the following interventions uses the psychomotor domain of learning?
Correct Answer: D

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has circulatory overload. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Circulatory overload increases cardiac workload, causing tachycardia. Diaphoresis is unrelated, weight gain (not loss) occurs, and hypertension (not hypotension) is typical.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a cloudy, opaque area over the lens of one eye. The nurse should identify that this is a manifestation of which of the following visual impairments?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A cloudy lens indicates cataracts, causing blurred vision. Retinopathy affects the retina, macular degeneration blurs central vision, and glaucoma damages the optic nerve.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has difficulty swallowing medications and is prescribed enteric-coated aspirin PO once daily. The client asks if the medication can be crushed to make it easier to swallow. Which of the following responses should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Crushing enteric-coated aspirin destroys the coating, risking stomach irritation or ulcers. It doesn’t release all at once, isn’t safe to crush, and doesn’t destroy ingredients.
