Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has gout and a new prescription for allopurinol. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Limiting alcohol consumption reduces uric acid production, complementing allopurinol's action in gout management. Increased fluids are beneficial but secondary, antacids are unrelated, and citrus fruits don't affect gout.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse enters a client's room and finds her sitting on the floor next to the shower. The client states that she slipped on some water outside of the shower. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Measuring vital signs first assesses for injuries like head trauma or shock post-fall. Notifying the provider, documenting, and completing an incident report follow after ensuring client stability.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has bipolar disorder and is experiencing mania. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Disorganized speech is expected in mania, reflecting rapid, pressured thoughts. Hypersomnia, flat affect, and weight gain are more associated with depression, not mania.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse caring for the family of a client who recently died. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Encouraging the family to express feelings of loss supports grieving. Instructing them to leave, limiting time, or restricting touch is insensitive and disregards cultural or personal needs.
