Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about disease management with a client who has GERD. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a hip replacement. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is verifying informed consent for a client who is preoperative for a vaginal hysterectomy. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client has given informed consent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The statement about being done having children shows the client understands the procedure's impact on fertility, a key component of informed consent. The other statements reflect misunderstandings about the procedure's outcomes.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Securing the tube prevents dislodgement, ensuring airway safety. Suctioning is as needed, cuff pressure checks are frequent, and repositioning is every 2 hours.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV heparin. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
