D indicates knowledge of abnormal urine color as a reason to notify the provider. E reflects comprehension of incorporating fish in the diet for health benefits. The incorrect choices (B,
C) suggest misconceptions. B is inaccurate as pale bowel movements may indicate a liver issue. C may be harmful as coffee can interfere with medication.
Extract:

Question 3 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take? Select all that apply.

Question 4 of 5
Which of the following dysrhythmias is the client displaying?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: First-degree atrioventricular block. This dysrhythmia is characterized by a delay in conduction at the atrioventricular node, causing a prolonged PR interval (>0.20 sec) on ECG. It is a benign condition and does not typically require treatment unless symptomatic.
Choices B and D are more serious dysrhythmias that have different ECG patterns and clinical implications. Complete heart block (
Choice
B) presents with a lack of conduction between the atria and ventricles, leading to a slow ventricular rate. Atrial fibrillation (
Choice
D) is characterized by rapid, irregular atrial depolarizations without effective atrial contractions. Premature atrial complexes (
Choice
C) are early ectopic atrial beats that appear as abnormal P waves on ECG but do not cause significant conduction delays.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is developing a care plan for a client who is in Buck's traction and is scheduled for surgery for a fractured femur of the right leg. Which of the following interventions should the nurse delegate to assistive personnel?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:

A: Asking the client to describe pain requires nursing assessment skills.
B: Checking the client's pedal pulse requires nursing assessment skills.
C: Observing the position of the suspended weight requires nursing judgment to adjust if needed.
