Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with AIDS is angry and yells at everyone entering the room, and none of the staff members wants to care for the client. Which intervention is most appropriate for the nurse manager to use in resolving this situation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A team meeting fosters collaboration to address the client’s behavior and staff concerns. Rotating nurses, HCP intervention, or single-nurse assignment are less effective.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is discussing autoimmune diseases with a class of nursing students. Which signs and symptoms are shared by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Joint stiffness and pain are common to both RA and SLE. Nodules and deformities are RA-specific, renal/pleural issues are more SLE-specific, and Raynaud’s/rash are not universal in RA.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with myasthenia gravis is admitted to the emergency department with a sudden exacerbation of motor weakness. Which assessment data indicate the client is experiencing a cholinergic crisis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cholinergic crisis (overdose of cholinesterase inhibitors) shows no improvement with Tensilon, unlike myasthenic crisis. Antibody levels, symptom improvement, and vital signs are not specific.
Question 4 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse implement for the client diagnosed with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent moisturizers combat skin fibrosis in scleroderma. Artificial tears are for Sjögren’s, braces are unrelated, and smoking cessation is secondary.
