Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a group of clients who have cancer about radiation therapy. Which of the following activities should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Limiting sports that cause bruising reduces bleeding risk due to radiation-induced thrombocytopenia. Sun exposure should be minimized, diet should include fruits/vegetables, and socializing is safe unless neutropenic.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching the family of a client who has Alzheimer's disease about caring for the client at home. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A monthly calendar helps orient the client to time, reducing confusion in Alzheimer's disease. Covering outlets with tape poses a fire hazard, a dark bedroom increases fall risk, and while a large-face clock may help, a calendar is more effective for orientation.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse on an oncology unit is caring for a client who is receiving internal radiation therapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Wearing a lead apron protects the nurse from radiation exposure during internal radiation therapy. Other actions increase exposure or violate safety protocols.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client following a total knee arthroplasty. The client reports a pain level of 6 on a pain scale of 0 to 10. Which of the following interventions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Applying an ice pack reduces inflammation and pain post-arthroplasty. Pillows under the knee risk contractures, massaging may increase pain or infection, and exercises should wait until pain is controlled.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client who has heart failure and a new prescription for a 2-g sodium diet. Which of the following client statements should the nurse identify as an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
