Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which client problem has priority for the client diagnosed with acute pancreatitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fluid volume deficit is the priority in acute pancreatitis due to vomiting and third-spacing, risking hypovolemia. Pain, nutrition, and knowledge are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing intervention should be included in the plan of care for the client diagnosed with hyperthyroidism?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Six small, balanced meals meet the increased metabolic demands of hyperthyroidism. Fiber, low-calorie diets, and fluid restriction are inappropriate.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with diabetes complains of a curtain being drawn across the eyes. Which should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A curtain-like vision loss suggests retinal detachment, a diabetic complication requiring urgent HCP notification. Ophthalmoscopy, closing eyes, or RRT are inappropriate first steps.
Question 4 of 5
Which finding would be the greatest cause for concern to the nurse during the early postoperative period following a thyroidectomy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Carpal spasm (Trousseau’s sign) indicates hypocalcemia, a serious complication post-thyroidectomy due to parathyroid gland injury.
Question 5 of 5
Which action is the best indication that the client needs more practice in combining two insulins in one syringe?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Instilling insulin into another vial contaminates the medication and is incorrect.
