Question 1 of 5
For the client who is experiencing expressive aphasia, which nursing intervention is most helpful in promoting communication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A picture board is most helpful for expressive aphasia, allowing the client to point to images to communicate needs. Speaking loudly, writing directions, or short sentences are less effective for clients unable to verbalize.
Question 2 of 5
Which intervention is most appropriate for a client with impaired mobility due to a neurological condition?

Rationale: Providing assistive devices promotes safe mobility and independence for a client with impaired mobility.
Question 3 of 5
The client is a survivor of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Which of the following statements indicates the client needs additional information?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The survival rate for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is inversely proportional to the incidence of second malignancies, as secondary cancers reduce survival. The statement that it is directly proportional indicates a misunderstanding. Regular screening, knowing disease stage, and treatment plans are correct.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to teach a client with microcytic hypochromic anemia about the diet to follow after discharge. Which of the following foods should be included in the diet?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Microcytic hypochromic anemia is often caused by iron deficiency. Eggs are a good source of dietary iron, particularly heme iron, which is well-absorbed by the body. Lettuce and citrus fruits do not provide significant iron, though citrus fruits can enhance iron absorption when consumed with iron-rich foods. Cheese is not a significant source of iron.
Therefore, eggs should be included in the diet.
Question 5 of 5
