RATIONALES WHYWRONG GUARANTEEDPASS LATEST2026

1.
A nurse is caring for a client who is prescribed a clear liquid diet. Which of the
following items should the nurse allow the client to consume?
A. Cream of wheat
B. Clear broth
C. Milk
D. Orange juice with pulp


Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clear broth is a clear liquid that is easily digested and leaves minimal
residue. Other clear liquids include water, clear juices (without pulp), gelatin, and tea.

Why the other options are wrong:
A. Cream of wheat — Cream of wheat is a full liquid, not a clear liquid.
C. Milk — Milk is a full liquid, not a clear liquid.
D. Orange juice with pulp — Orange juice with pulp is not considered a clear liquid.

Reference: Krause & Mahan, Food and Nutrition Care Process, 16th ed., 2023.




2.
A nurse is preparing to administer a subcutaneous injection. Which of the following
actions is correct?
A. Insert the needle at a 45- to 90-degree angle

, B. Aspirate before injecting the medication
C. Massage the site after injection
D. Use a 25-gauge, 2-inch needle


Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Subcutaneous injections are typically administered at a 45- to 90-degree
angle, depending on the amount of subcutaneous tissue. The angle ensures
medication reaches the subcutaneous layer.

Why the other options are wrong:
B. Aspirate before injecting the medication — Aspirating is not recommended for
most subcutaneous injections because it can cause tissue trauma and bruising.
C. Massage the site after injection — Massaging the site can increase the rate of
absorption and may cause irritation or bruising.
D. Use a 25-gauge, 2-inch needle — A 25-gauge, 2-inch needle is too long and large
for subcutaneous injection; it would be appropriate for intramuscular injection.

Reference: Perry et al., Nursing Interventions & Clinical Skills, 8th ed., 2023.




3.
A client with heart failure has 3+ pitting edema. Which nursing intervention is the
highest priority?
A. Encourage ambulation
B. Elevate the legs
C. Administer diuretics as prescribed
D. Restrict fluid intake


Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Diuretics help remove excess fluid and reduce edema by increasing renal
excretion of sodium and water, directly addressing the underlying pathophysiology of
fluid overload.

Why the other options are wrong:
A. Encourage ambulation — Encouraging ambulation is beneficial for promoting
venous return, but it does not directly address the fluid overload.
B. Elevate the legs — Elevating the legs helps reduce dependent edema, but it does
not eliminate the excess fluid.
