d. Apple juice.
Following NPO, the client should be offered clear liquids. Among these options, apple juice should be offered
first. Skim milk, eggnog, and cream of chicken soup are considered full liquids and can be offered after the client
has demonstrated tolerance of a clear liquid diet.
A client who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) uses oxygen. A nurse should recognize that
which of these measures would be a safety hazard to the client?
a. Having plants or cut flowers in the room.
b. Wearing clothing made of 100 percent cotton.
c. Using humidified oxygen.
d. Using oxygen at six liters per minute
d. Using oxygen at six liters per minute
Clients who have COPD should maintain low-flow oxygen rates. These clients have hypoxia and hypercarbia.
Increasing their oxygen levels can cause a loss of the respiratory drive and lead to respiratory arrest. Having
plants in the room, wearing clothing made of 100% cotton, or using humidified oxygen would not be safety
hazards to a client who has COPD.
A client who is on bed rest with an indwelling urinary catheter has had no urinary drainage for the past four
hours. Which of these actions should a nurse take first?
a. Force fluids.
b. Elevate the client's legs.
c. Palpate the client's suprapubic area.
d. Ensure the drainage bag is below the level of the bed.
d. Ensure the drainage bag is below the level of the bed.
Urine from a Foley catheter drains by gravity, and thus the drainage bag needs to be below the level of the bed.
Forcing fluids, elevating the client's legs, and palpating the client's suprapubic area are not the first actions a
nurse should take for this client.
A nurse should recognize that an elderly client who has a history of osteoporosis is at greatest risk for developing
which of these complications?
a. Bone cancer.
b. Impotence.
c. Sciatica.
d. Stress fractures.
d. Stress fractures.
Elderly clients with osteoporosis often develop stress fractures. An elderly client with a history of osteoporosis is
not at an increased risk for bone cancer, impotence or sciatica.

When a client is hospitalized for pneumonia, a nurse should plan to increase fluid intake for which of these
primary purposes?
a. Maintain renal function.
b. Improve cardiac output.
c. Promote bowel function.
d. Improve airway clearance.
d. Improve airway clearance.
The primary purpose of increasing fluid intake for a client hospitalized for pneumonia is to improve airway
clearance by liquefying secretions so the client can cough and expectorate. A client's renal function, cardiac
output, and bowel function are not affected by pneumonia.
A nursing home client has been confined to a geriatric chair for two hours. Which of these measures should a
nurse take at this time?
a. Give the client a bed bath.
b. Sit and talk with the client for ten minutes.
c. Walk with the client around the unit.
d. Encourage the client to socialize with the roommate.
c. Walk with the client around the unit.
After being confined to a geriatric chair for two hours, the nurse should walk around the unit with the client. This
will reduce pressure on the client's skin and promote circulation and lung expansion. Giving the client a bed bath,
sitting and talking with the client or encouraging the client to socialize with the roommate would not promote
the client's circulation. It is more important to move the client.
A client in a long-term care facility is learning to use a walker. Which of these instructions should a nurse reinforce
to the client?
a. "Use the walker as needed for balance."
b. "Step and move the walker simultaneously."
c. "Move the walker and then step into it."
d. "Glide the walker along the floor with each step."
c. "Move the walker and then step into it."
The client should be instructed to move the walker and step into it for safety and balance. The walker should be
used each time the client ambulates. Stepping and moving the walker simultaneously, or gliding the walker along
the floor with each step, may lead to falls.
For which of these reasons should a nurse administer a diuretic to a client early in the morning?
a. Any toxic effects of the drug will be readily recognized.
b. The peak action of the drug will occur while the client is awake.

c. Mobility during the day will increase the volume of urine produced.
d. The client will require additional fluid intake at night.
b. The peak action of the drug will occur while the client is awake.
A diuretic should be administered to a client in the morning so the peak action of the drug (diuresis and
increased urine output) will occur while the client is awake. Toxic effects, the client's mobility, and required fluid
intake are not affected by what time the drug is taken.
A nurse is caring for a client with a self-care deficit related to toileting. Which of these nursing orders would serve
as the best guide when providing care to this client?
a. Reposition the client frequently to improve renal perfusion.
b. Ambulate client to toilet every four hours while the client is awake.
c. Teach coping strategies for dealing with incontinence based on client readiness.
d. Provide emotional support and reassurance for voiding accidents.
b. Ambulate client to toilet every four hours while the client is awake.
Offering a bedpan every four hours while the client is awake is the best intervention for self-care deficit related
to toileting, as it provides a regular schedule for bladder retraining. Repositioning the client frequently, teaching
coping strategies based on client readiness, and providing emotional support are not the best guides when
providing care for self-care deficit related to toileting.
Which of these nursing measures is appropriate during an asthmatic attack?
a. Minimizing environmental stress.
b. Teaching the client to deep breathe and cough.
c. Having the client use a pillow to splint the chest.
d. Maintaining the client in a semi-Fowler's position.
a. Minimizing environmental stress.
During an asthmatic attack, a nurse should minimize environmental stress. Environmental stress will increase
dyspnea. Teaching the client to deep breathe and cough, or using a pillow to splint the client's chest are not
effective nursing methods during an asthmatic attack. Allow client to assume position of comfort & don't insist
on semi-Fowler's position.
An elderly client fell and sustained head trauma. A nurse is monitoring this client for signs of increased
intracranial pressure. Which of these signs would provide the earliest indication that the client's intracranial
pressure has increased?
a. Change in the level of consciousness.
b. Drop in blood pressure.
c. Decrease in temperature.
d. Difficulty breathing.
a. Change in the level of consciousness.
