Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has a new diagnosis of a latex allergy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "I will use ink pens for writing." This indicates understanding as latex is commonly found in rubber products like elastic bandages, balloons, and dishwashing gloves. Choosing ink pens shows awareness of avoiding direct contact with latex-containing items. Other choices are incorrect as they involve potential exposure to latex: A uses an elastic bandage, B involves dishwashing gloves, and C mentions buying balloons. Ink pens are a safe alternative to items containing latex.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about crutch walking using the swing-through gait. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Move both crutches forward, then lift and move your body past the crutches. This is the correct technique for the swing-through gait with crutches. By moving both crutches forward first, the client can then lift and advance their body past the crutches, providing stability and support. Looking down at the feet (
A) can disrupt balance and coordination. Placing one crutch forward with the opposite foot (
B) is incorrect for the swing-through gait. Bearing weight against the underarm crutch pads (
D) is not the correct method for using crutches in this gait pattern.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse identifies an extravasation of a vesicant solution at a client's peripheral IV catheter's insertion site. Identify the sequence in which the nurse should perform the following actions.
Correct Answer: B,E,A,C,D
Rationale: The correct sequence is B, E, A, C, D. First, stop the infusion (
B) to prevent further harm.
Then, attach a syringe to aspirate the solution (E) to minimize tissue damage. Aspirating the solution (
A) from the catheter is crucial for removing the vesicant. Next, disconnect the tubing (
C) to prevent further administration of the solution. Lastly, remove the IV catheter (
D) to stop the source of extravasation. This sequence prioritizes stopping harm, aspirating the vesicant, preventing further administration, and removing the source of extravasation. Other choices are incorrect because they do not address the immediate need to stop harm and remove the source of the issue.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who practices Orthodox Judaism. The nurse should identify that which of the following foods together on the same dinner tray violates the client's religious practices?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. According to Orthodox Judaism dietary laws, meat and dairy products cannot be consumed together or even served on the same plate.
Therefore, having kosher roast beef (meat) and ice cream (dairy) on the same dinner tray violates the client's religious practices. Carrot sticks and cottage cheese are both dairy and can be consumed together. Macaroni and cheese is a dairy dish but does not violate the rule as it contains only dairy ingredients. Kosher chicken breast and boiled potatoes are both meat products and can be served together without violating the dietary laws.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is receiving intermittent enteral feedings. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse identify as an indication that the client needs a change in the formula?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: BUN 28 mg/dL. This indicates the client needs a change in the enteral feeding formula as it suggests poor protein utilization. A high BUN level may indicate inadequate protein intake or impaired protein metabolism. Hematocrit, urine specific gravity, and sodium levels are not directly related to the assessment of enteral feeding adequacy. Thus, choices A, B, and D are incorrect.
