Immune System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The male client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis states he has been investigating alternative therapies to treat his disease. Which intervention is most appropriate by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Encouraging safe alternative therapies supports autonomy if they align with medical treatment. Deferring to HCP, involving significant other, or suggesting investigational therapies are less appropriate.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
The nurse is describing the HIV virus infection to a client who has been told he is HIV positive. Which information regarding the virus is important to teach?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: HIV is a retrovirus that persists in the host, integrating into DNA. It cannot be eradicated, is not a monkey virus, and infects CD4 cells, not red blood cells.
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
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.
