Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Dysphagia. Dysphagia, difficulty swallowing, is a priority finding in an older adult male as it can lead to aspiration and malnutrition. The nurse needs to address this promptly to prevent complications. Pruritus (choice
A) is itching and can be managed. Swollen gums (choice
B) may indicate dental issues but are not immediately life-threatening. Urinary hesitancy (choice

Question 2 of 5
A nurse enters a client’s room and finds him on the floor in the clonic phase of a tonic-clonic seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct action is to place a pillow under the client's head. This helps to protect the client's head from injury during the seizure. It is important to maintain a patent airway and prevent head injury. Inserting a padded tongue blade (choice
B) could cause injury or obstruct the airway. Applying a face mask for oxygen (choice
C) may not be necessary at this point and can be done after the seizure stops. Gently restraining the client's extremities (choice
D) can cause further injury. It is crucial to prioritize safety and comfort during a seizure.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has prostate cancer. The nurse should expect the provider to prescribe which of the following medications for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Leuprolide. Leuprolide is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist that suppresses testosterone production, which can help slow the growth of prostate cancer. Tamoxifen (
A) is used for breast cancer, Finasteride (
C) is used for benign prostatic hyperplasia, and Cyclophosphamide (

Therefore, in this case, the most appropriate medication for prostate cancer would be Leuprolide (
B).
Question 5 of 5
A community health nurse is developing a pamphlet about breast self-examination (BSE) for a local health fair. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Breasts can be examined in the shower with soapy hands. This instruction is important because warm water and soap help to make the examination more comfortable and easier to detect any abnormalities. By examining the breasts in the shower, the individual can incorporate BSE into their routine without it feeling like a separate task. This method also allows for better coverage and thorough examination of the entire breast tissue.
Choice A is incorrect because using the palm of the hand in a circular motion may not be as effective in detecting lumps compared to using the fingertips.
Choice B is incorrect as breast dimpling or discharge are not normal signs of aging, and should be reported to a healthcare provider.
Choice D is incorrect as performing BSE at specific times in the menstrual cycle is not necessary.
