Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has osteoporosis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Weight-bearing exercises strengthen bones, reducing osteoporosis progression. Vitamin C is secondary, dairy provides calcium, and decreasing calcium is contraindicated.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for enalapril. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reporting a persistent cough is important with enalapril, an ACE inhibitor, as it may require discontinuation. Grapefruit juice is unrelated, weight gain is not expected, and potassium intake needs monitoring.
Question 3 of 5
An older client with a history of heart failure is admitted with influenza and requests assistance to sit up in bed to eat lunch. The nurse observes the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) wearing a gown and gloves to assist the client. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client has influenza, a droplet-transmitted respiratory illness. The UAP is in close contact with the client, so a face mask is necessary in addition to a gown and gloves to prevent virus spread, per CDC guidelines. A fitted respirator mask is not required for influenza, as it is not airborne like tuberculosis. Reassigning the UAP is unnecessary since adding a face mask completes the PPE. Instructing the UAP to report respiratory changes is good practice but does not address the immediate PPE need.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a cholecystectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Early ambulation post-cholecystectomy prevents complications like thrombosis and promotes recovery. Supine positioning is not required, laxatives are per need, and heating pads are contraindicated.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for lorazepam. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Avoiding driving is critical with lorazepam, a benzodiazepine, due to sedation. Grapefruit juice is unrelated, weight changes are not typical, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
