Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with Multi Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) has renal, cardiovascular, and pulmonary dysfunction issues. Which statement by the nurse indicates an understanding of the client's prognosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: MODS with three or more organ failures has a 70–80% mortality rate. Ventilator use, 2% recovery, and 80–90% recovery are inaccurate.
Question 2 of 5
The client diagnosed with RA has developed swan-neck fingers. Which referral is most appropriate for the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Occupational therapy addresses hand function and adaptive devices for swan-neck deformities. Physical therapy, counseling, and home health are less specific.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for clients on a medical floor. Which client should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Antineoplastic drugs (e.g., methotrexate) pose risks like toxicity, requiring immediate assessment. Mild pain, rashes, and scleroderma are less acute.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is describing the HIV virus infection to a client who has been told he is HIV positive. Which information regarding the virus is important to teach?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: HIV is a retrovirus that persists in the host, integrating into DNA. It cannot be eradicated, is not a monkey virus, and infects CD4 cells, not red blood cells.
Question 5 of 5
The 26-year-old female client is complaining of a low-grade fever, arthralgias, fatigue, and a facial rash. Which laboratory tests should the nurse expect the HCP to order if SLE is suspected?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CBC and ANA tests detect anemia, leukopenia, and autoantibodies, supporting SLE diagnosis. Metabolic, lipid, and renal tests are less specific initially.
