Question 1 of 5
Which condition is associated with inadequate intake of vitamin C?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Scurvy is indeed associated with inadequate intake of vitamin C. Vitamin C deficiency leads to scurvy, which is characterized by weakness, anemia, gum disease, and skin hemorrhages.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because rickets is caused by vitamin D deficiency, marasmus is due to severe malnutrition leading to wasting, and kwashiorkor is a form of severe protein-energy malnutrition.
Question 2 of 5
A client turns her ankle. She is diagnosed as having a Pulled Ligament. This should be documented as a:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The term 'strain' is the correct choice. A strain refers to the excessive stretching of a muscle or tendon, which aligns with a pulled ligament diagnosis. A sprain, on the other hand, involves ligament injury due to twisting motions. 'Subluxation' indicates a partial dislocation of a joint, not a pulled ligament. 'Dislocation' refers to the complete displacement of bones in a joint, which is not the appropriate term for a pulled ligament.
Question 3 of 5
When a client wishes to improve her appearance by removing excess skin from her face and neck, the nurse should provide teaching regarding which of the following procedures?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'rhytidectomy.' Rhytidectomy, commonly known as a face-lift, is the procedure for removing excess skin from the face and neck. Dermabrasion involves spraying a chemical to freeze the skin lightly, followed by abrasion with sandpaper or a revolving wire brush, used for removing scars, severe acne, and tattoo pigment. Rhinoplasty is for improving the nose's appearance by reshaping the nasal skeleton and overlying skin. Blepharoplasty removes loose and protruding fat from the upper and lower eyelids.
Therefore, when a client wants to address excess skin in the face and neck, rhytidectomy is the appropriate procedure.
Question 4 of 5
What is the most appropriate intervention for a client with suspected genitourinary trauma and visible blood at the urethral meatus?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A urologist consult is the most appropriate intervention for a client with visible blood at the urethral meatus and suspected genitourinary trauma. This specialist can evaluate the extent of the trauma and provide the necessary treatment. Foley catheter insertion (
Choice
A) and in-and-out catheter specimen for urinalysis (
Choice
B) are contraindicated in the presence of genitourinary trauma as they can worsen the injury. While a voided urine specimen for urinalysis (
Choice
C) may be ordered by the physician, it does not address the specific management needed for genitourinary trauma.
Therefore, a urologist consult is the best option in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
What is an appropriate nursing goal for a client at risk for nutritional problems?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Promoting healthy nutritional practices is an appropriate nursing goal for a client at risk for nutritional problems as it focuses on preventive measures to address the risk of nutritional issues.
Choice A is incorrect because providing oxygen is not related to addressing nutritional problems.
Choice C is incorrect as it involves treating the consequences rather than preventing nutritional problems.
Choice D is incorrect because increasing weight is only suitable if the client is underweight, not as a general preventive measure.
