Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to self-administer daily low-dose heparin injections. Which of the following factors is most likely to increase the client's motivation to learn?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: While it's important for the nurse to explain the need for education, the client's belief in personal benefits is more motivating. The belief that their needs will be met through education fosters motivation. Empathy from the nurse can enhance the learning experience but might not solely motivate the client. Seeking family approval is an external motivator, but personal belief in the benefits of education is more intrinsic.
Question 2 of 5
A home health nurse is teaching a client about home safety. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: Using grab bars enhances safety while bathing. Having a fire escape plan contributes to home safety. Checking medication expiration dates ensures safe and effective use. Setting the water heater to 140 degrees Fahrenheit may pose a scalding risk. Applying tape to electrical cords is not a safe practice and does not indicate an understanding of safety precautions.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a mental health clinic is caring for an older adult client who has depression and has stopped taking their medication. The client tells the nurse, 'I want to die now that my partner is gone.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Advising to discuss with the provider doesn't address the immediate concern of potential harm. Asking about thoughts of self-harm assesses the client's immediate safety. Inquiring about medication discontinuation is important but not as urgent as addressing suicidal ideation. While understanding the relationship is important, it's not the priority when a client expresses suicidal thoughts.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting a blood pressure (BP) reading from a client who is sitting in a chair. The nurse determines that the client's BP is 158/96 mm Hg. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A cuff width of 40–50% is correct but assumed here. Rechecking in the other arm confirms accuracy. Waiting 30 minutes delays action. Supine repositioning isn’t necessary unless indicated.
Question 5 of 5
