Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has decreased mobility about passive range-of-motion exercises. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Moving to pain risks injury. Quick movements may cause harm. Repeating 3–5 times per joint is standard to maintain flexibility. Once daily is insufficient for optimal benefit.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching an older adult client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoiding sun reduces vitamin D. Decreasing dairy lowers calcium. Walking three times weekly is weight-bearing and promotes bone health. 250 mg calcium is insufficient for prevention.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to self-administer heparin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An 18-gauge needle is too large; a 25- to 27-gauge needle is appropriate. Massaging the site can increase bruising with heparin. Injecting 2 inches away from the umbilicus is correct for subcutaneous administration. The air bubble in prefilled syringes should not be expelled to ensure the full dose is given.
Question 4 of 5
