Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings is the most significant information to report when caring for a client undergoing peritoneal dialysis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An elevated body temperature may indicate infection, a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis, and must be reported.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is preparing a teaching care plan for the client diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Which intervention should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diuretics are commonly prescribed in nephrotic syndrome to manage edema. Teaching proper diuretic use (e.g., timing, side effects like hypokalemia) is essential. Stopping steroids for moon face is incorrect, increasing sodium worsens edema, and weight loss is expected, not a concern.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse caring for a client diagnosed with CKD writes a client problem of 'noncompliance with dietary restrictions.' Which intervention should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Determining the reason for noncompliance (e.g., lack of understanding, financial barriers) is the first step to tailor interventions effectively. Teaching, referrals, or explaining importance are secondary until the root cause is identified.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client diagnosed with ARF. Which statement is an appropriate outcome for the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An appropriate outcome for ARF is achieving normal electrolyte levels, as imbalances like hyperkalemia are common. Monitoring intake/output and administering enemas are interventions, not outcomes, and pain reduction is less specific to ARF.
Question 5 of 5
