Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a teaching care plan for the client diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Which intervention should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diuretics are commonly prescribed in nephrotic syndrome to manage edema. Teaching proper diuretic use (e.g., timing, side effects like hypokalemia) is essential. Stopping steroids for moon face is incorrect, increasing sodium worsens edema, and weight loss is expected, not a concern.
Question 2 of 5
Which information indicates to the nurse the client teaching about treatment of urinary incontinence has been effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises strengthen muscles to reduce incontinence, indicating effective teaching. Scheduled voiding is a strategy, increased fluids may worsen incontinence, and vaginal cones are not used all day.
Question 3 of 5
The client is diagnosed with an acute episode of ureteral calculi. Which client problem is priority when caring for this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Severe pain (alteration in comfort) is the priority in acute ureteral calculi, as it affects the client’s immediate well-being and requires prompt management. Fluid loss, urinary elimination, and knowledge are secondary.
