Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to teach a female client about osteoporosis prevention. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Walking (30 min, 3-5 times/week) is a weight-bearing exercise that boosts bone density, reducing osteoporosis risk. Water aerobics lacks sufficient impact, lean body mass may increase risk if underweight, and vitamin B12 isn’t directly linked—calcium and vitamin D are key.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to set up a sterile field. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pouring liquids outside the sterile field prevents contamination. Hips are too low (waist level is ideal), labels face away from the palm, and the outermost flap opens away from the body.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Leaving a bathroom light on reduces fall risk from nocturia (due to diuretic). Weekly weighing misses fluid retention (daily is needed), evening dosing disrupts sleep, and hot baths risk hypotension.
