Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about sources of stress. The nurse should include that which of the following is an example of a physiological stressor?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Burn injuries cause physical stress, triggering bodily responses like pain and inflammation. Marital status, academic pressure, and financial difficulties are psychological or social stressors.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's medical record. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a fall risk?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Multiple sclerosis impairs balance and coordination, heightening fall risk. Hernias cause discomfort, hyperlipidemia affects lipids, and hyperthyroidism causes tremors, but they don’t directly affect mobility.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a mental health facility is caring for a client who has antisocial personality disorder and alcohol dependency. The nurse should encourage the client to participate in which of the following groups?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both antisocial personality disorder and alcohol dependency with integrated care. Codependency support is for families, psychodrama explores emotions, and crisis intervention is short-term.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a client that has been having pain without a clear etiology. Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse write as most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ‘Acute pain related to unknown etiology’ accurately reflects the pain’s unclear cause, guiding further assessment. Option A lacks etiology, B assumes a psychosomatic cause without evidence, and D is less precise than ‘etiology.’
Question 5 of 5
A charge nurse is planning a room assignment for a client who has a productive cough, a questionable chest x-ray, and a positive Mantoux test. Room 208 is a private, negative-pressure airflow room; room 212 is a semi-private, positive-pressure airflow room; 214 is a negative-pressure, semi-private room; and room 216 is a private, positive-pressure airflow room. To which of the following rooms should the nurse assign the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A private, negative-pressure room (208) is ideal for suspected tuberculosis, preventing airborne pathogen spread. Semi-private rooms (214, 212) risk infecting others, and positive-pressure rooms (212, 216) are unsuitable for airborne infections.
