Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The clinic nurse is talking to a client who has just been prescribed hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Which statement about HRT by the nurse is correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: HRT increases the risk of coronary artery disease. It does not decrease stroke or DVT risk and helps prevent osteoporosis.
Question 2 of 5
A client has received a prescription for lisinopril. The nurse teaches the client that which frequent side effect may occur?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cough is a frequent side effect of therapy with any of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Fever is an occasional side effect. Proteinuria is another common side effect, but polyuria is not. Hypertension is the reason to administer the medication rather than a side effect.
Question 3 of 5
The home care nurse visits a client who had a stroke (brain attack) with resultant unilateral neglect who was recently discharged from the hospital. Which instruction should the nurse provide to the family regarding care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Unilateral neglect involves a lack of awareness of the affected side. Assisting from the affected side helps focus the client's attention on it, promoting awareness. Initially, items are placed on the unaffected side, but gradually shifted. Scanning the environment is encouraged, and grooming the affected side first aids awareness.
Question 4 of 5
A client has a history of urolithiasis related to hyperuricemia. To prevent the formation of future stones, the nurse instructs the client to avoid which food?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Urolithiasis related to hyperuricemia involves high uric acid levels, and foods high in purines, such as liver, should be avoided because they increase uric acid production. Carrots, white rice, and skim milk are low in purines and safe for this client.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse creates a plan of care for an older client diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. It is important that the nurse plans to complete which action first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Assessing the client's ability to read syringe and glucose monitor markings is the first step, ensuring they can manage self-care. Structuring menus or teaching with videos assumes capability, and encouraging dependence is inappropriate.
