Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a newly licensed nurse about bowel sounds. Which of the following characteristics should the nurse use to describe hyperactive bowel sounds?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hyperactive bowel sounds are loud, high-pitched, and frequent, indicating increased motility, not decreased. They aren't linked to paralytic ileus or soft, infrequent sounds.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for doxycycline. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Doxycycline increases photosensitivity, risking sunburn. Milk reduces absorption, urine color isn't affected, and full course completion prevents resistance.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a preschooler about immunizations. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Scheduling multiple visits to spread out immunizations shows understanding of flexibility in the schedule. Lactose intolerance doesn't affect vaccines, flu starts at 6 months, and HPV is for older kids.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for methotrexate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Methotrexate can cause mucositis, leading to mouth sores, a common side effect to monitor. Milk isn't required, energy may decrease due to fatigue, and while alcohol avoidance is advised, mouth sores are a more immediate concern.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in an acute care setting is assisting in collecting client information to include in a referral for a physical therapist. Which of the following information should the nurse plan to include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Physical assessment findings (e.g., range of motion, strength) are critical for a PT referral to tailor treatment. Family history, prior meds, and insurance claims are less directly relevant.
