Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing a nutritional assessment. Which of the following would be considered objective data?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Objective data are measurable and observable findings that can be obtained through physical examination, laboratory tests, or other diagnostic procedures. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculated value based on height and weight, making it objective. Dietary history, patient complaints, and history of alcohol intake are subjective as they rely on the patient's self-report and may not be entirely accurate.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing the patient's range of motion. The nurse asks the patient to circumduct his arms. When the patient asks what this means, the nurse explains:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Circumduction is a movement that involves the circular rotation of a limb, such as an arm or leg, around a fixed point. When assessing the patient's range of motion, the nurse may ask the patient to perform circumduction of their arms to evaluate their ability to move their arms in a circular motion.
Question 3 of 5
When assessing the anus, the nurse should inspect for: (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: When assessing the anus, the nurse should inspect for bleeding, hemorrhoids, and pain, as these are directly observable or reportable during an anal examination. Prostate enlargement is not directly assessed through an anal examination, as it requires a digital rectal exam, typically performed by a healthcare provider.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching the patient about different stages of sleep. The nurse knows that REM sleep includes which one of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is a stage of sleep that is part of the sleep cycle, which also includes non-REM (NREM) sleep. Dreaming occurs during REM sleep, and it usually composes about 20-25% of total sleep time in adults. NREM sleep, on the other hand, makes up the largest amount of total sleep time, typically about 75-80%. Both REM and NREM sleep are important for restorative sleep, but each plays a different role in physiological and cognitive functioning.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing the patients sleep habits. Which of the patients responses indicate a need for the nurse to provide teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Napping during the day can interfere with a person's ability to sleep at night, especially if it is done for long periods or close to bedtime. The nurse can provide education on proper sleep hygiene and recommend ways to establish a consistent sleep schedule that promotes restful sleep, such as avoiding caffeine and alcohol, practicing relaxation techniques, and limiting exposure to electronic devices before bedtime.
