Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is recovering from gastroenteritis and is beginning oral intake. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lime ice popsicles are clear, hydrating, and stomach-friendly. Orange juice is acidic, and dairy-based soup and pudding may worsen symptoms.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has disuse syndrome following cast removal from a lower extremity. Which of the following referrals should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Occupational therapy improves daily function in disuse syndrome. Social workers, herbalists, and dietitians don't address physical function directly.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a BMI of 32 and wants to lose weight. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to promote the client's weight loss?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reducing 500 calories daily promotes safe weight loss. High fat, refined grains, and food rewards hinder progress.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is 24 hours postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
