Immune System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client with multiple sclerosis is prescribed the muscle relaxant baclofen (Lioresal). Which statement by the client indicates the client needs more teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Stopping baclofen due to cost risks symptom worsening, indicating a need for teaching on adherence. Drowsiness, alcohol avoidance, and fiber/fluid intake are correct.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
The client admitted with rule-out Guillain-Barré syndrome has just had a lumbar puncture. Which intervention should the nurse implement postprocedure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increasing fluid intake post-lumbar puncture prevents spinal headache. Hypotension is not a primary concern, pressure is applied during the procedure, and CSF testing is lab-based.
Question 4 of 5
Which discharge instruction should the nurse implement for the client newly diagnosed with myasthenia gravis (MG)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Avoiding fatigue and stress prevents myasthenia gravis exacerbations. Padding, pain therapies, and splenectomy are irrelevant.
Question 5 of 5
Which ocular or facial signs/symptoms should the nurse expect to assess for the client diagnosed with myasthenia gravis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ptosis and diplopia are hallmark ocular symptoms of myasthenia gravis due to neuromuscular weakness. General weakness, respiratory issues, and weight loss are less specific.
