Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has had a hemorrhagic stroke following a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Changes in consciousness are a hallmark of hemorrhagic stroke due to rapid bleeding increasing intracranial pressure, disrupting brain function. This can manifest as confusion, lethargy, or unconsciousness. A gradual headache or symptom onset is atypical, as hemorrhagic strokes present suddenly. Neurologic deficits lasting less than 1 hour suggest a transient ischemic attack, not a hemorrhagic stroke.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse advises a client with osteoporosis to have three servings of milk or dairy products daily. Which of the following levels of prevention is being used by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Primary prevention aims to prevent disease onset before it occurs. Advising a client with osteoporosis to consume three servings of milk or dairy products daily ensures adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, helping to maintain bone density and prevent fractures. This is a proactive measure to avoid worsening of the condition. Secondary prevention involves early detection, tertiary prevention manages existing disease, and proactive prevention is not a standard term.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who had a cerebral aneurysm rupture. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of increased intracranial pressure (ICP)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hypertension (
A) is a key sign of increased ICP, as the body raises blood pressure to maintain cerebral perfusion. Tinnitus (
B), hypotension (
C), and tachycardia (
D) are not primary indicators of elevated ICP.
