Question 1 of 5
A nurse is working with a client who has an anxiety disorder and is in the orientation phase of the therapeutic relationship. Which of the following statements should the nurse make during this phase?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: During the orientation phase, establishing roles and expectations sets the foundation for a therapeutic relationship. Teaching relaxation exercises, discussing stress responses, or resources are more appropriate in later phases after trust is built.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Morning stiffness, lasting over 30 minutes, is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis due to joint inflammation. Pain is bilateral, fever may occur but is less specific, and weight loss is more common.

Correct Answer: A

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving mechanical ventilation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client to a medical-surgical unit. When performing medication reconciliation for the client, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
