Immune System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with suspected fibromyalgia. Which diagnostic test confirms the diagnosis of fibromyalgia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fibromyalgia is diagnosed clinically, with no confirmatory test. ANA, MRI, and ESR are not diagnostic.
Question 2 of 5
The client in the HCP's office is complaining of allergic rhinitis. Which assessment question is important for the nurse to ask the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Seasonal patterns help identify allergic rhinitis triggers. Medications, family history, and client beliefs are secondary.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with RA is being seen in the outpatient clinic. Which preventive care should the nurse include in the regularly scheduled clinic visits?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Flu and pneumonia vaccines prevent infections, critical in RA due to immunosuppression. X-rays, ESR, and joint assessments are diagnostic, not preventive.
Question 4 of 5
Which referral should the nurse implement for a client with severe multiple allergies?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A dietitian helps identify food allergens, critical for severe allergies. Other therapists are less relevant.
Question 5 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.
