Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to assess cranial nerve VIII on a client. Which tests will the nurse perform? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,D
Rationale: Cranial nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear) is assessed with the Rinne and Weber tests for hearing. Allen's and Phalen's tests assess circulation and carpal tunnel, respectively.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is giving instructions to an adult client with heart failure who is beginning therapy with digoxin. To detect early complications of therapy, which action should the nurse teach the client to perform?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Daily pulse monitoring helps detect digoxin-related complications like bradycardia (pulse <60 beats/min) or tachycardia (>100 beats/min), which require provider notification. Weekly electrolyte levels, blood pressure monitoring, and daily weight are not specific to early digoxin complications.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is working at an osteoporosis screening clinic and is interviewing and performing health assessments on women. Which clients are at greatest risk for developing osteoporosis? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,D,F
Rationale: Risk factors for osteoporosis include being of Asian or Caucasian descent, early menopause, a family history of osteoporosis, and inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D. Large-boned, dark-skinned women (e.g., those of African descent) have a lower risk due to higher bone density. A physically active lifestyle is protective against osteoporosis, reducing the risk.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse has given the client with a nonplaster (fiberglass) leg cast instructions regarding cast care at home. The nurse determines that the client needs further teaching if the client makes which statement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using a hair dryer on a hot setting to dry a wet fiberglass cast can cause burns or damage the cast. Avoiding slippery floors, not scratching under the cast, and wiping the cast with a damp cloth are correct care instructions.
