Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who has strained her back muscles while preparing to move to a new apartment. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Bend at the knees when picking up an object: This technique helps distribute the weight of the object and reduces strain on the back muscles. Relax her abdominal muscles when she lifts an object: Tensing the abdominal muscles can provide core support, but relaxing them while lifting can increase the risk of injury. Twist at the waist when she moves an object to one side: Twisting at the waist can strain the back muscles and should be avoided. Hold an object away from her body as she lifts it: Holding objects close to the body reduces strain on the back muscles and is a good technique to prevent injury.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is receiving a change-of-shift report for a group of assigned clients. The nurse anticipates which of the following activities first in delivering client care using the nursing process?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Set client-centered, measurable and realistic goals: This occurs during the planning stage, after data collection and analysis. Critically analyze client data to determine priorities: This step happens after data collection during the diagnosis phase. Determine effectiveness of interventions: This is part of the evaluation stage, which comes after planning and implementation. Collect and organize client data: This is the first step in the nursing process, where the nurse gathers comprehensive information about the client's physical, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual needs.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is preparing an older adult client for a physical examination the provider is about to perform. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Provide music as an environmental distraction: This might help in some contexts but is not typically necessary for preparing for a physical exam. Clear communication is more important. Make sure the room temperature is cool: Older adults often have reduced ability to regulate body temperature and may find cooler environments uncomfortable. A comfortable room temperature is preferable. Explain to the client what is about to happen: Clear explanations can reduce anxiety, increase cooperation, and ensure that the client understands the process, which is crucial for effective assessment and trust. Inform the client that the provider will examine sensitive areas first: Sensitive areas are usually examined last to maintain comfort and build trust.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is teaching a class about Piaget's stages of cognitive development. The nurse should instruct that object permanence develops during which of the following stages?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Concrete operational: This stage (7 to 11 years) is characterized by logical thinking about concrete events. Sensorimotor: This stage (birth to about 2 years) is when infants learn about the world through their senses and actions. Object permanence-the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched-develops in this stage. Formal operational: This stage (12 years and up) involves abstract and moral reasoning. Preoperational: This stage (2 to 7 years) is when children begin to engage in symbolic play and learn to manipulate symbols, but they don't yet understand concrete logic.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is educating a group of middle adults about health promotion. What statement by one of the participants indicates the need for additional education?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: I will make exercise a part of my daily activities.' This is a positive and correct statement. Regular exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle and should be encouraged. 'I should eat a diet high in fats but low in fiber.' This statement is incorrect and indicates a misunderstanding of healthy dietary guidelines. A diet high in fats and low in fiber is not recommended for maintaining health and can lead to various health issues like obesity, heart disease, and digestive problems. 'I only have one glass of wine a day with dinner.' This statement aligns with moderate alcohol consumption guidelines, which suggest that up to one glass of wine per day for women and two for men can be part of a healthy lifestyle. 'I will begin a smoking cessation program this week.' This statement reflects a positive health choice. Quitting smoking is one of the most beneficial actions a person can take for their health, reducing risks for many diseases.
