Question 1 of 5
The client with chronic low back pain is having trouble sleeping at night. Which nonpharmacological therapy should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Progressive relaxation reduces muscle tension and promotes sleep, a safe nonpharmacological option. Acupuncture, massage, or herbs are less directly linked to sleep.
Question 2 of 5
Which tissue or organ can be repeatedly donated to clients needing a transplant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bone marrow regenerates, allowing repeated donation. Skin, bones, and kidneys are limited or single-donation tissues/organs.
Question 3 of 5
The client with an AD tells the nurse, 'I have changed my mind about my AD. I really want everything possible done if I am near death since I have a grandchild.' Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Clients can revoke ADs at any time, per legal rights. Notifying health information, shredding without process, or claiming unchangeability is incorrect.
