Immune System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with RA is being seen in the outpatient clinic. Which preventive care should the nurse include in the regularly scheduled clinic visits?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Flu and pneumonia vaccines prevent infections, critical in RA due to immunosuppression. X-rays, ESR, and joint assessments are diagnostic, not preventive.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for the client diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) dementia. Which action by the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) requires immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sterile gloves are unnecessary for bathing, risking improper technique. Sitting, shaving, and massage are appropriate UAP tasks.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
Which ocular or facial signs/symptoms should the nurse expect to assess for the client diagnosed with myasthenia gravis?
