Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse inspects urine for clarity (to detect particles or bacteria), odor (to identify infections or conditions), and amount (to assess hydration and kidney function). Consistency, articulation, residual, and firmness are not applicable to urine inspection.
Question 2 of 5
A patient is admitted to the floor with a diagnosis of chest pain. Which of the following would be a priority for the assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When a patient is admitted with a complaint of chest pain, the priority assessment would be to determine whether the patient is experiencing an acute cardiac event, such as a heart attack. This would involve a comprehensive assessment that includes obtaining the patient's medical history, vital signs, performing a physical exam, and obtaining an electrocardiogram (ECG). Auscultation of the heart is a critical step in assessing for cardiac abnormalities.
Question 3 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.
