Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a 40-year-old female client about preventive health screenings. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: I will need to have a mammogram every year now. This is the correct choice because mammograms are recommended for women starting at age 40 to screen for breast cancer. Annual mammograms help detect any abnormalities early, improving the chances of successful treatment.
Choice A is incorrect because skin checks for cancer should be done annually, not every 5 years.
Choice C is incorrect as the first colonoscopy is recommended at age 50, not 65.
Choice D is incorrect as there is no specific recommendation for uterine cancer screening every 2 years.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is checking a client's bowel sounds. At which of the following times should the nurse auscultate the client's abdomen?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Prior to percussing the abdomen. Auscultation of bowel sounds should be done before percussing because percussion can alter bowel sounds. It is important to assess bowel sounds accurately to detect any abnormalities. Palpating the abdomen (choice
A) can also affect bowel sounds, so it should be done after auscultation. Checking for kidney tenderness (choice
C) is unrelated to assessing bowel sounds. Inspecting the abdomen (choice
D) visually does not impact bowel sounds.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has respiratory acidosis. Which of the following pH levels should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A (pH 7.31)
Rationale:
1. Respiratory acidosis is caused by inadequate ventilation, leading to CO2 retention and decreased pH.
2. In respiratory acidosis, the pH decreases below the normal range of 7.35-7.45.
3. A pH of 7.31 indicates acidosis, which aligns with the client's condition.
4. pH levels of 7.39, 7.48, and 7.50 are within the normal range, ruling out choices B, C, and D as incorrect.
