Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about collecting a stool specimen to check for occult blood. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoiding red meat for 3 days prevents false positives in occult blood tests. Dairy doesn't affect it, urine can dilute results, and weekly collection isn't standard.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sternal infection (e.g., redness, drainage) is a risk post-CABG, requiring monitoring. Ambulation, low-fat diet, and supported coughing are standard.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the development of an education program for a group of older adults. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Determining literacy level first ensures the program is tailored to participants' comprehension, guiding outcomes, scheduling, and handouts effectively.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in an adult day care facility is contributing to the plan of care for a client whose family reports recent confusion and memory loss. Which of the following strategies should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Symbols on signage aid navigation for clients with memory loss who may struggle with written language, enhancing orientation and independence. Low lighting increases confusion, multiple meal options can overwhelm, and confrontation may heighten agitation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for acetaminophen 300 mg with codeine 30 mg, 1 tablet every 3 to 4 hours PRN for pain. The nurse inadvertently administers 2 tablets to the client. In which of the following locations should the nurse document this alert care incident?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Medication errors like administering an incorrect dose must be documented in an incident report for quality improvement and risk management, kept separate from the client's medical record. Other options are for care planning, controlled substance tracking, or provider updates, not incident reporting.
