Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has atelectasis. The nurse should instruct the client to lie on his back with a quarter turn elevating his right side and his head lower than his feet to mobilize secretions from which of the following lung segments?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has developed cardiogenic shock. When evaluating circulation to the client's brain, which of the following pulse sites should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Carotid. When evaluating circulation to the brain in a client with cardiogenic shock, the nurse should use the carotid pulse site. The carotid arteries supply blood directly to the brain, making it the most accurate site to assess circulation to this vital organ. The femoral pulse site (choice
A) is not ideal for assessing brain circulation as it is located in the lower extremities. The popliteal pulse site (choice
C) is also in the lower extremities and not directly related to brain circulation. The radial pulse site (choice
D) is located in the wrist and is commonly used to assess peripheral circulation but is not as directly linked to brain perfusion as the carotid site.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse plans to reinforce discharge teaching with a client. Of the following barriers to learning the nurse identifies with this client, which should the nurse interpret as a need to postpone the session?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Pain. Pain can significantly affect a client's ability to concentrate and retain information during a teaching session. The client may be too preoccupied with managing their pain to effectively participate in the teaching. This barrier should be addressed first before proceeding with discharge teaching.
The other choices (B: Hearing loss, C: The client's culture, D: Motor impairment) may pose challenges but can be accommodated through appropriate communication strategies, cultural sensitivity, and adapted teaching methods.
