Question 1 of 5
The nurse has completed giving medication instructions to a client receiving benazepril to treat hypertension. Which statement made by the client indicates to the nurse that the client needs further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Benazepril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat hypertension. Client education includes changing positions slowly to avoid orthostatic hypotension, monitoring blood pressure regularly, and using salt moderately as part of a heart-healthy diet. However, reporting signs and symptoms of infection is not directly related to benazepril use, as infections are not a common side effect. The client may need further teaching to clarify the specific side effects to monitor, such as cough, swelling, or signs of hyperkalemia.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse has completed teaching with a hemodialysis client regarding the self-monitoring of the fluid status between hemodialysis treatments. The nurse determines that the client understands the information given if the client states the need to record which item(s) on a daily basis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Recording daily intake, output, and weight helps monitor fluid status, ensuring no more than 0.5 kg weight gain per day between hemodialysis sessions. Activity, pulse, respiratory rate, and lab values are not daily client responsibilities.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a non-rebreather mask. Which is the priority nursing action when caring for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Adjusting the flow rate to keep the reservoir bag inflated ensures adequate oxygen delivery, the primary goal of a non-rebreather mask.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assigned to care for a client being admitted with a diagnosis of cirrhosis and ascites. Which dietary measure should the nurse expect to be prescribed for the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: If the client has ascites, sodium and possibly fluids would be restricted in the diet. The client should maintain a normal amount of fat intake. The diet should supply sufficient carbohydrates to maintain weight and spare protein. The total daily calories should range between 2000 and 3000 . The diet should provide ample protein to rebuild tissue but not an amount that will precipitate hepatic encephalopathy.

Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: Seat belts and helmets reduce injury risk. Waiting one hour post-alcohol is insufficient, condoms don't fully protect against all STIs, and diving into untested waters is dangerous.
