1 of 5
While conducting the health assessment, the nurse instructs the client about secondary prevention activities. What information did the nurse most likely provide to this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Secondary prevention involves early detection, like regular mammogram screenings to identify breast cancer early. Immunizations and seat belts are primary prevention, and vision exams are less specific unless detecting early disease.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has hypothyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypothyroidism causes weight gain due to slowed metabolism from low thyroid hormones. Palpitations, diaphoresis, and exophthalmos are associated with hyperthyroidism.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse educator is presenting at a continuing education seminar for nurses. As part of his presentation, he is emphasizing the prevention of skin breakdown in immobile patients who have suffered from a stroke. The level of prevention being discussed by the nurse educator is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tertiary prevention manages existing conditions like stroke to prevent complications such as skin breakdown through repositioning and skin care. Educational prevention isn’t a category, secondary involves early detection, and primary prevents stroke onset.
Question 4 of 5
A Drug Rehabilitation nurse is conducting the health history. When would be the most natural time to ask the client about alcohol use?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Asking about alcohol use after cigarette smoking flows naturally, as both are substance use habits, creating a comprehensive lifestyle profile. Allergens, medications, and surgeries are less directly related.
Question 5 of 5
A client has been receiving intravenous antibiotics (ototoxic) for several weeks. Which prevention strategy would be best for the nurse to recommend for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Formal hearing tests (audiometry) comprehensively detect ototoxicity-related hearing loss across frequencies, enabling early intervention. Rubbing fingers, tuning fork, and whisper tests are less sensitive and specific, missing subtle changes.
