Question 1 of 5
Health promotion activities are designed to help clients:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Health promotion activities encompass a broad range of interventions aimed at enhancing overall well-being. These activities not only focus on reducing the risk of illness but also on maintaining maximal function and promoting healthy habits related to healthcare.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'all of the above.'
Choices A, B, and C are all integral components of health promotion strategies, emphasizing the multidimensional approach required to support clients in achieving optimal health outcomes.
Question 2 of 5
Mr. H. is upset about being in the hospital for another day due to the high cost. The rights he is likely to demand include all of the following except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Confidentiality is the maintenance of privacy of information. The question does not suggest that confidentiality has been breached. In this scenario, Mr. H. is concerned about the cost and the length of his stay, which relates to his rights regarding billing, treatment, and response to requests. The right to confidentiality, though important, is not directly related to his current situation of being upset about the high cost and extended stay. Mr. H. is more likely to demand the right to examine and question the bill to understand the charges, the right to reasonable response to requests regarding his care and stay, and the right to refuse treatment if he wishes.
Therefore, the correct answer is the right to confidentiality, as it is not a primary concern in this context.

Question 4 of 5
While assisting with data collection of an adult client, a nurse asks the client to identify various odors. In this technique, which cranial nerve is the nurse assessing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Olfactory.' The olfactory nerve is responsible for the sense of smell. Assessing this nerve involves testing the client's ability to identify various odors. Loss of smell, head trauma, abnormal mental status, and suspected intracranial lesions are conditions where testing the olfactory nerve is essential. The optic nerve is evaluated for visual acuity and visual fields. The abducens nerve is usually assessed alongside the oculomotor and trochlear nerves, focusing on pupil size, regularity, light reactions, accommodation, and extraocular movements. The hypoglossal nerve is examined by inspecting the tongue, not by assessing the sense of smell.
Question 5 of 5
When transferring a client with hemiparesis from a bed to a wheelchair, which safety measure should be implemented?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When transferring a client with hemiparesis from a bed to a wheelchair, it is crucial to ensure their safety. The correct safety measure is to move the wheelchair close to the client's bed and have the client stand and pivot on their unaffected extremity to the wheelchair. This method provides support with the unaffected limb, reducing the risk of falls or injuries.
Choice A is incorrect as it suggests walking the client, which may not be safe or feasible.
Choice C is incorrect because pivoting on the affected extremity can increase the risk of injury.
Choice D is incorrect as it does not consider the client's limitations and safety needs, as it involves pushing their body which may not be possible with hemiparesis.
