Question 1 of 5
After reinforcing teaching on peptic ulcer disease, the nurse evaluates the patient as understanding the education if the patient states which of the following is a primary cause of peptic ulcer disease?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The primary cause of peptic ulcer disease is infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria.
Question 2 of 5
Which patient does the LPN/LVN identify at high risk for hospital-acquired pneumonia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This patient is at high risk for hospital-acquired pneumonia. After a splenectomy (removal of the spleen), patients may experience pain and discomfort, which can make them reluctant to perform necessary activities like coughing and deep breathing. These activities are crucial for preventing lung complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching a client who has peptic ulcer disease and is starting therapy with sucralfate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sucralfate should be taken on an empty stomach, typically 1 hour before meals. This timing allows the medication to coat the ulcer site effectively and protect it from the acidic environment of the stomach.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: B,C,D

Question 5 of 5
What is the desired peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (Spo2) level in the patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This range is generally considered acceptable for most patients with COPD. It provides a balance between ensuring adequate oxygenation while avoiding the risk of oxygen toxicity. Oxygen saturation levels within this range can help alleviate symptoms of hypoxemia without causing hyperoxia.
