Immune System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is developing a care plan for a client diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. Which independent problem has priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ineffective breathing pattern is a priority in allergic rhinitis due to potential airway obstruction. Knowledge, anaphylaxis risk, and coping are secondary.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 of 5
The 26-year-old female client is complaining of a low-grade fever, arthralgias, fatigue, and a facial rash. Which laboratory tests should the nurse expect the HCP to order if SLE is suspected?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CBC and ANA tests detect anemia, leukopenia, and autoantibodies, supporting SLE diagnosis. Metabolic, lipid, and renal tests are less specific initially.
Question 5 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.
