Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is receiving isoniazid and rifampin. Which of the following statements by the client would need further follow up?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Yellow skin suggests jaundice, a sign of hepatotoxicity from isoniazid or rifampin, requiring immediate follow-up. A is expected with rifampin, B is positive, and C is less urgent if improving.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing client with advanced peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Which of the following findings would the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: PAD reduces blood flow, causing shiny, hairless skin due to chronic ischemia. Thickened toenails, cool extremities, and diminished or absent pulses are expected, not thin toenails, warm extremities, or normal 3+ pulses.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing blood pressure classifications with a group of nurses at an in-service meeting. Which of the following should the nurse include as a risk factor for the development of hypertension?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea contributes to hypertension by causing repeated episodes of hypoxia, sympathetic nervous system activation, and increased vascular resistance. High potassium intake helps lower blood pressure, HDL of 70 mg/dL is protective, and benazepril treats hypertension, not causes it.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a group of clients about risk factors for developing peripheral artery disease. Which of the following risk factors should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A BMI of 35 (obesity) is a significant risk factor for peripheral artery disease (PA
D) because excess body weight contributes to atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes—all of which impair circulation. Rheumatic fever primarily affects the heart valves and is not a risk factor for PAD. Venous thrombosis affects veins, whereas PAD is a disease of arteries. Chronic pulmonary disease affects the lungs but does not directly contribute to PAD development.
