Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has a prescription for lisinopril. Which of the following foods should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lisinopril can raise potassium levels, so avoiding high-potassium foods prevents hyperkalemia. Fiber, vitamin K, and dairy are not contraindicated.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a child who has a bacterial upper respiratory infection. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a 15-month-old toddler about nutritional guidelines. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A 15-month-old toddler needs about 500 milligrams of calcium per day to support bone growth and development. Excessive juice does not cause constipation but can reduce appetite for other foods.
Toddlers need approximately 1,000 to 1,300 calories per day, so 1,500-1,800 calories is excessive. There is no specific age-related sudden appetite increase at 18 months.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a school-age child who is undergoing testing for acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). The nurse should inform the parent that the child will undergo which of the following tests to confirm the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bone marrow biopsy is the definitive test to confirm ALL by examining marrow for abnormal cells. Spinal fluid analysis and CBC may support diagnosis but are not confirmatory. Bleeding time assesses platelet function, not leukemia.
