Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is taking care of a client who is cognitively impaired. The nurse recognizes that which of the following rooms will provide a therapeutic environment for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A room with personal belongings provides comfort and orientation, reducing agitation in cognitively impaired clients. Windows provide natural light, nursing station proximity may be noisy, and dim lighting increases fall risk.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who repeatedly refuses meals. The nurse overhears an assistive personnel (AP) telling the client, 'If you don't eat, I'll put restraints on your wrists and feed you.' The nurse should intervene and explain to the AP that this statement constitutes which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The AP's threat to restrain and force-feed the client constitutes assault, as it creates fear of harmful contact without consent. Malpractice involves professional negligence, battery is actual unconsented contact, and negligence is failure to meet care standards, none of which apply here.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a unit of packed RBCs. Fifteen minutes after starting the transfusion, the client reports itching and hives. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stopping the transfusion is the first action to prevent worsening of an allergic reaction, indicated by itching and hives. Notifying the provider, administering diphenhydramine, or collecting urine follow after stopping the transfusion.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for citalopram. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting suicidal thoughts is critical with citalopram, an SSRI, due to increased risk early in treatment. It's taken in the morning, tyramine is unrelated, and mood improvement takes weeks.
