Endocrine NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with acute pancreatitis is being discharged home. Which statement by the client indicates the teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A low-fat, non-spicy diet prevents pancreatitis exacerbation, indicating effective teaching. Caffeine reduction is secondary, amylase/lipase are not self-monitored, and early work return is risky.
Question 2 of 5
If the following foods are available, which one should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cheddar cheese is high in sodium, which is beneficial for clients with Addison's disease to replace sodium loss.
Question 3 of 5
Which action is the best indication that the client needs more practice in combining two insulins in one syringe?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Instilling insulin into another vial contaminates the medication and is incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is discussing ways to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis with the client diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Which instruction is most important to discuss with the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Continuing insulin during illness prevents DKA by maintaining glucose control. ADA referral, avoiding OTC meds, and vaccines are secondary.
Question 5 of 5
An 18-year-old female client, 5'4 tall, weighing 113 kg, comes to the clinic for a nonhealing wound on her lower leg, which she has had for two (2) weeks. Which disease process should the nurse suspect the client has developed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Obesity (BMI ~44) and a nonhealing wound suggest type 2 diabetes, associated with insulin resistance. Type 1 is less likely, gestational diabetes requires pregnancy, and acanthosis nigricans is a symptom, not a disease.
