Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing a teaching plan regarding proper lifting with a client. Which of the following strategies should the nurse include to prevent back injury when lifting an object?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tightening the abdominal muscles supports the spine and prevents injury. Bending at the waist, keeping legs straight, or holding the object away increases back strain.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching with a client who has severe arthritis and has difficulty with stairs. What should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maintaining arms in a slightly bent position when using handrails enables the client to use them as support and reduces stress on the arms and shoulders. The other options can lead to imbalance, instability, or strain.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is coordinating care of a group of clients with an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following tasks should the nurse assign to the AP?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Measuring intake and output is a routine task suitable for an AP. Teaching, pain assessment, and IV site checks require nursing judgment and cannot be delegated.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 2 days postoperative following a below-the-knee amputation. Which of the following statements by the client should the nurse identify as indicating an acceptance of the limb loss?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The statement 'I need to learn how to perform a dressing change on my leg' reflects acceptance of the limb loss and a proactive approach to self-care. The other statements indicate denial, depression, or difficulty adjusting, which are not signs of acceptance.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who needs to increase vitamin C intake to promote wound healing. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend as the best source of vitamin C?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A small pink grapefruit contains 38.4 mg of vitamin C, the highest among the options, making it the best source for wound healing. Banana, pear, and apple have significantly less.
