Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse manager is updating protocols for the use of belt restraints. Which of the following guidelines should the nurse manager include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Documenting the client's condition every 15 minutes ensures close monitoring of safety and restraint necessity. PRN restraint prescriptions are inappropriate; restraints require specific orders. Attaching restraints to side rails risks injury. Removal frequency depends on assessment, not a fixed 4-hour schedule.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a possible right pneumothorax. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reduced right-sided breath sounds occur in pneumothorax due to lung collapse, limiting air movement on the affected side. Paradoxical chest movement is typical of flail chest. Stridor indicates upper airway obstruction. Retractions are nonspecific and not unique to pneumothorax.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in the acute mental health unit is admitting a new client with an eating disorder. The nurse is aware that which of the following are considered comorbidities of eating disorders? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: Depression, OCD, and anxiety are common comorbidities with eating disorders, linked to emotional and obsessive behaviors. Schizophrenia and sleep disorders are not typically associated.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for sertraline. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reporting suicidal thoughts is critical with sertraline, an SSRI, due to increased risk early in treatment. It's taken flexibly, mood improvement takes weeks, and tyramine is unrelated.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for clopidogrel. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting unusual bleeding is critical with clopidogrel, an antiplatelet, due to bleeding risk. It can be taken with food, timing is flexible, and vitamin K is unrelated.
