Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a history of falls about home safety. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client understands the instructions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A bath seat reduces shower fall risk. Ceiling lights disrupt sleep, distant walkers are inaccessible, and rugs are tripping hazards.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing education to the family of a client who has a new diagnosis of epilepsy. Which of the following seizure precaution instructions should the nurse include regarding care of the client when they start having a seizure?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Moving objects prevents seizure injuries.
Tongue blades, lying on back, and restraining risk harm.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse receives an order from the provider for a client requiring the highest oxygen concentration with a one-way valve. What type of mask should the nurse apply to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A non-rebreather mask delivers nearly 100% oxygen with a one-way valve to prevent rebreathing. Simple and partial rebreather masks lack this, and Venturi delivers precise, lower concentrations.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and reports having shortness of breath and swelling in his lower extremities. Upon assessment, the nurse notes the client has crackles in his lungs and elevated blood pressure. The nurse should suspect which of the following based on the client's manifestations?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypervolemia causes edema, shortness of breath, crackles, and hypertension in ESKD due to fluid retention. Hyperkalemia and hyponatremia affect electrolytes, hypovolemia causes hypotension.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a medication to a client who states, 'That looks different from the pill I usually take.' Which is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Asking about the usual pill validates the client's concern and ensures medication accuracy. Other responses dismiss the concern or assume correctness without verification.
