Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a mental health unit is caring for a client who has generalized anxiety disorder. The client received a telephone call that was upsetting and now the client is pacing up and down the corridors of the unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Walking with the client at a gradually slower pace provides support, de-escalates anxiety, and allows therapeutic communication. Other options may escalate anxiety or fail to address the client's needs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is completing a medication history for a client who reports using over-the-counter calcium carbonate antacid. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make about taking this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calcium carbonate antacids should be taken with a full glass of water to ensure proper dissolution and absorption, reducing gastrointestinal irritation. Dairy products can form insoluble calcium salts, reducing absorption. Calcium carbonate may cause constipation, not diarrhea, so decreasing dietary bulk is inappropriate. Reducing sodium intake is not specific to this medication.
