Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the results of a client's fecal occult blood screening test. Which of the following findings from the client's history should the nurse identify as potentially causing a false-positive result?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ibuprofen, an NSAID, can cause GI irritation and bleeding, leading to a false-positive fecal occult blood test. The other factors are unlikely to affect the result directly.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the care of a client who has tinea corporis with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding direct contact prevents the spread of tinea corporis, a fungal infection. Airborne precautions and antibiotics are inappropriate, and isolation isn't required beyond contact precautions.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who is starting bowel training for the management of fecal incontinence. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assisting to the restroom 30 minutes after meals leverages the gastrocolic reflex to promote bowel regularity. Limiting activity, fluids, or fiber would hinder continence efforts.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse who is caring for a client who has AIDS. The nurse should instruct the newly licensed nurse to clean spills of the client's blood with a solution of water and which of the following cleaning agents?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A 1:10 bleach solution is the standard for decontaminating blood spills in AIDS care, effectively killing HIV. Other agents are less effective against bloodborne pathogens.
