Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a characteristic feature of hemophilia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hemophilia, due to deficient clotting factors, leads to prolonged bleeding and easy bruising. Excessive clotting, increased platelets, and delayed wound healing are not characteristic.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment on a client who asks how she might recognize when she is ovulating. The nurse should explain that which occurs at ovulation?
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: Lower abdominal pain/cramping (mittelschmerz) is a common ovulation symptom. Vaginal bleeding occurs during menstruation, basal body temperature increases post-ovulation, breast tenderness is not specific, and sex drive may increase.
Question 3 of 5
The patient, age 28, is admitted with complaints of nausea, sore tongue, tingling of the hands, and difficulty swallowing. Upon examination, her tongue is erythematous. What diagnostic procedure will support this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Schilling test assesses vitamin B12 absorption, supporting a diagnosis of pernicious anemia, which matches the symptoms of nausea, sore red tongue, and neurological issues.
Question 4 of 5
A client with sickle cell anemia has 'Pain related to thrombotic crisis' as a nursing diagnosis. Which of the following is the most appropriate nursing intervention for this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Repositioning with proper alignment alleviates pressure and discomfort from thrombotic crisis pain. Education, pulse checks, and ROM are less directly related to acute pain relief.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is caring for a client who is postmenopausal and has risk factors for osteoporosis. The nurse anticipates the client will be prescribed which of the following medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Raloxifene hydrochloride, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, is used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women by preventing bone loss and reducing fracture risk. Levothyroxine treats hypothyroidism, escitalopram treats depression, and calcitonin is not typically first-line for osteoporosis.
