Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has chronic kidney disease about limiting foods that are high in potassium. Which of the following foods should the nurse instruct the client to avoid? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: Raisins, bananas, and tomatoes are high in potassium and should be avoided by clients with chronic kidney disease to prevent hyperkalemia. Asparagus and green beans are lower-potassium foods and can be included in a kidney-friendly diet in appropriate portions.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has prostate cancer and has undergone a prostatectomy. Which of the following should the nurse understand as a potential complication of prostate surgery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Erectile dysfunction is a common complication of prostatectomy due to potential nerve and blood vessel damage. Testicular torsion is unrelated, cystitis is less common, and paralytic ileus, while possible, is typically temporary.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of a femur fracture. Which of the following parameters should the nurse include in the evaluation of the neurovascular status of the client's affected extremity?
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: Monitoring the temperature of the affected extremity is crucial in evaluating neurovascular status. A cool or cold extremity can indicate decreased perfusion, which may be a sign of neurovascular compromise. Assessing the color of the extremity is essential. Pallor or cyanosis can indicate poor blood flow or oxygenation, which are critical signs of neurovascular impairment. Evaluating sensation helps determine if there is any nerve damage or impairment. Changes in sensation, such as numbness or tingling, can indicate neurovascular compromise.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who is scheduled for a colposcopy tomorrow. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Rationale: A biopsy may be performed during a colposcopy if abnormal areas are seen, a key teaching point.
Question 5 of 5
