Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which statement by a client indicates an understanding of the spread of Hepatitis C?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hepatitis C is transmitted through blood, such as via contaminated tattoo needles. Crowded conditions and poor handwashing relate to hepatitis A, and casual contact does not spread hepatitis C.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has diverticular disease. When palpating the client's abdomen, in which of the following locations should the nurse expect the client to report abdominal pain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Diverticula commonly form in the sigmoid colon, located in the lower left quadrant, where pain is typically reported. Upper left quadrant pain is less common, upper right quadrant pain suggests gallbladder issues, and lower right quadrant pain is associated with appendicitis.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is to administer 30gm of lactulose to a client. The medication is supplied as 10gm/15ml. How many mL would you give to the client.
Correct Answer: 45
Rationale: 30 gm ÷ 10 gm/15 mL = 45 mL. This calculation determines the volume needed for the prescribed dose.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is performing an abdominal assessment on a patient who just returned from surgery following a colon resection. The nurse identifies that bowel sounds are not audible. Which action by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Absent bowel sounds are expected post-colon resection due to postoperative ileus. Documentation is appropriate, with continued monitoring. Peer validation or immediate provider notification is unnecessary unless other concerning symptoms arise.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Phenazopyridine causes harmless reddish-orange urine discoloration, a common side effect clients should be aware of.
