Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client is two (2) hours postoperative right-ear mastoidectomy. Which assessment data should be reported to the health-care provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Facial drooping suggests cranial nerve VII injury, a serious complication post-mastoidectomy, requiring immediate reporting. Fullness and hearing loss are expected, and no vertigo is normal.
Question 2 of 5
What should the nurse include when teaching the client with Parkinson's disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent swallowing can reduce drooling, a common symptom in Parkinson's disease, improving comfort and social interaction.
Question 3 of 5
The female client tells the clinic nurse she is going on a seven (7)-day cruise and is worried about getting motion sickness. Which information should the nurse discuss with the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A scopolamine patch prevents motion sickness effectively. HCP appointments, trip discouragement, and lying down are less practical.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for the client with macular degeneration. Which illustration should the nurse associate with the field disturbance seen by the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Distorted central vision as seen in illustration 2 is characteristic of macular degeneration. The macula is the area of the fundus responsible for central vision. When the cells in the macula have been damaged, central vision is impaired. Illustration 1 shows glaucoma, 3 shows normal vision, and 4 shows blurred vision from various conditions.
Question 5 of 5
The elderly client is complaining of abdominal discomfort. Which scientific rationale should the nurse remember when addressing an elderly client's perception of pain?

Rationale: Age-related sensory decline reduces pain perception in the elderly, affecting reporting. Pain reaction varies, more medication is not standard, and the Wong scale is pediatric.
