Extract:
Question 1 of 5
When the nurse reviews the client's health history, which symptom is directly related to the development of cataracts?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cataracts cause a gradual loss of vision due to lens opacity.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for the client who is diagnosed with a carbuncle. Which home measures should the nurse discuss? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: Treatments for an infected lesion should include strict hand washing to prevent cross-contamination. Covering mattress and pillows with plastic covers and washing all linens, towels, and clothing after each use will prevent cross-contamination. Leaving the lesion open to air is not advised; a dressing is needed. Applying ice or removing throw rugs does not pertain to carbuncle treatment.
Question 3 of 5
The client is being admitted to the ED after a house fire. Place the client's problems in the order of priority in which they should be addressed by the nurse.
Correct Answer: C,A,B,D
Rationale: Inhalation injury from smoke is the priority problem that should be addressed first to ensure that the client has a patent airway. The 48% partial- and full-thickness burn injury should be addressed next due to fluid loss and pain. The laceration on the face that has stopped bleeding should be addressed next, possibly requiring suturing. History of hypertension can be addressed last, as fluid shifts from the burn are likely to lower BP.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing the plan of care for a client diagnosed with psoriasis. Which intervention should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Occlusive dressings with steroids enhance absorption, treating psoriasis. Mycostatin is for fungal infections, acyclovir is for viral infections, and radiation is irrelevant.
Question 5 of 5
The client is admitted to the medical floor diagnosed with cellulitis of the left arm. Which assessment data would warrant immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Inability to remove a ring in cellulitis suggests severe edema, risking compartment syndrome, requiring immediate intervention. Weak pulses, finger movement, and normal CRT are less urgent.
