Question 1 of 5
Which findings are normal age-related physiological changes? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: The correct answers are A, B, D, and E.
A: Decline in long-term memory is a normal age-related change due to the natural aging process affecting cognitive functions.
B: Diminished visual acuity is common as the eye's lens becomes less flexible with age.
D: Decreased stress response is normal as the body's ability to handle stress weakens with age.
E: Increased susceptibility to urinary tract infections is a result of changes in the urinary system due to aging.
Choices C, F, and G are incorrect as increased heart rate is not a typical age-related change, and options F and G are not provided.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to measure the fundal height of a client who is at 22 weeks of gestation. At which location should the nurse expect to palpate the fundus?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3 cm above the umbilicus. At 22 weeks of gestation, the fundus should be palpable at approximately the level of the umbilicus or slightly above. As the uterus grows with the developing fetus, the fundal height increases. This location corresponds to the expected fundal height for a pregnancy at 22 weeks.
Choice A (Slightly above the umbilicus) is incorrect as it does not specify the exact measurement.
Choices C (3 cm below the umbilicus) and D (Slightly below the umbilicus) are incorrect because the fundus should be higher at 22 weeks.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is instructing clients in the community about relationship development. The nurse should explain that, according to Erikson, establishing relationships with commitment is a primary task of which of the following stages of psychosocial development?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Intimacy vs. isolation. In Erikson's psychosocial theory, this stage occurs in young adulthood, where individuals focus on developing intimate relationships based on mutual trust and commitment. This stage is characterized by the desire to form strong, lasting bonds with others.
Choice A, generativity vs. stagnation, focuses on the middle adulthood stage where individuals are concerned with contributing to society and nurturing the next generation.
Choice B, identity vs. role diffusion, pertains to adolescence and the struggle to establish a sense of self and direction.
Choice C, trust vs. mistrust, is the first stage in infancy where the focus is on developing a sense of trust in the world.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a prenatal clinic is caring for a client who is pregnant and asks the nurse for her estimated date of birth (EDB). The client's last menstrual period began on July 27. What is the client's EDB? (State the date in MMDD. For example, July 27 is 0727)
Correct Answer: 504
Rationale:
Rationale:
To calculate the EDB, count back 3 months from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) and add 7 days. The LMP is July 27. Counting back 3 months gives us April 27. Adding 7 days to April 27 gives us May 4, written as 0504. This is the estimated date of birth. Other choices are incorrect as they do not follow the standard calculation method for determining the EDB based on the LMP.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in a prenatal clinic is caring for a client who is at 38 weeks of gestation and undergoing a contraction stress test. The test results are negative. Which of the following interpretations of this finding should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct interpretation is A: There is no evidence of uteroplacental insufficiency. A negative contraction stress test indicates that the placenta is providing adequate oxygen to the fetus during contractions, ruling out uteroplacental insufficiency.
Choice B is incorrect as the number of contractions is not the primary indicator of the test result.
Choice C is incorrect as accelerations in fetal heart rate are not the focus of a contraction stress test.
Choice D is incorrect as cervical incompetence is not assessed through a contraction stress test.
