b. Corn oil.
Among these choices, corn oil has the highest amount of polyunsaturated fatty acid. Other oils high in
polyunsaturated fats are flax seed oil, hemp oil, pumpkin seed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, and
sunflower oil. Olive oil, butter, and vegetable oil are not high in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
A client who has a possible fractured wrist goes to the Emergency Department. For which of these rationales
should a nurse apply a cold pack to the area?
a. Reduce blood flow to the wrist.
b. Increase tissue metabolism in the wrist.
c. Promote delivery of nutrients to the wrist.
d. Reduce blood viscosity in the wrist.
a. Reduce blood flow to the wrist.
Ice will assist vasoconstriction, and therefore decrease blood flow. Increased blood flow will increase swelling
and pain in the affected area.
A client who has weakness of the left arm and leg can walk short distances with a cane and assistance. Which of
these techniques should a nurse select to provide the client with appropriate assistance?
a. The nurse stands by the client's right side, supporting the right arm, with the cane on the left side.
b. The client places the cane on the left side, with the nurse supporting the left side.
c. The nurse stands by the client's left side, supporting the right arm, with the cane on the left side.
d. The client places the cane on the right side, with the nurse supporting the left side.
d. The client places the cane on the right side, with the nurse supporting the left side.
The patient should place the cane on the right side, with the nurse supporting the left side. Holding the cane on
the unaffected side provides support to the affected lower limb. The other choices (the nurse stands by the
patient's right side, supporting the right arm, with the cane on the left side; the nurse stands by the patient's left
side, supporting the right arm, with the cane on the left side; or the patient places the cane on the left side, with
the nurse supporting the left side) are not techniques a nurse should select in this situation.
An 83-year-old client who was recently admitted to a nursing care facility frequently looks vacantly at family
members and says, "I don't know where I am." A nurse notes that the client also has a history of getting up
several times at night and falling. Based on the information the nurse should give priority to which of these
measures?
a. Placing a call light within the client's reach.
b. Having the client void before they go to bed.
c. Reminding the client that this is their new home now.
d. Maintaining the bed in a low position.
d. Maintaining the bed in a low position.
Maintaining the bed in the lowest position and even placing the mattress on the floor will reduce the risk of injury

if the patient does fall, and should be a priority measure in the patient's evening care. The other options are
applicable but are not the priority.
A client has an abdominal wound drainage tube attached to wall suction. Which of these nursing diagnoses
should be included in the client's care plan?
a. Imbalanced body temperature.
b. Altered gastrointestinal tissue perfusion.
c. Fluid volume deficit.
d. Chronic pain.
c. Fluid volume deficit.
The suction will affect the amount of fluid removed from the patient's body. It will not alter the patient's
temperature or tissue perfusion. The drain is temporary, and therefore the patient may be experiencing acute,
not chronic, pain.
A client has an intravenous infusion in the left forearm. A nurse finds that the solution is infusing at a much
slower rate than was established earlier. After verifying that the infusion has NOT infiltrated, the nurse should
take which of these actions next?
a. Agitate the infusion container.
b. Reposition the client's left arm.
c. Check the intravenous fluid for sedimentation.
d. Have the client open and close the left fist.
b. Reposition the client's left arm.
Repositioning the patient's arm can often change the position of the catheter enough to regain proper flow. The
other measures can be assessed for, and/or tried, but are not the first actions that the nurse should consider.
A client has an order for a transdermal nitroglycerin (Nitro-Dur) patch q 6h. Which of these actions should a
nurse include when applying a new patch?
a. Rotate the application site.
b. Locate the point of maximal impulse.
c. Count the pulse for a full minute.
d. Leave the previous patches in place.
a. Rotate the application site.
The patch should be placed in a different position after the old one is removed. The medication can be absorbed
through the skin at any location. A one minute pulse would be obtained prior to administering digoxin (Lanoxin).
A client has received instructions from a nurse about physical preparation for surgery. The teaching has been
effective if the client can identify that the purpose of having nothing by mouth for six to eight hours prior to
surgery is to

a. enhance the administration of anesthesia preoperatively.
b. regulate intraoperative fluid status.
c. reduce the risk of intraoperative vomiting.
d. decrease postoperative peristalsis.
c. reduce the risk of intraoperative vomiting.
Maintaining an NPO status preoperatively is recommended so that the stomach is empty and the risk of
vomiting is reduced. Other measures would be taken for enhancing administration of anesthesia, regulating
fluids, or decreasing postoperative peristalsis for abdominal surgeries.
A client who appears cachectic is scheduled for emergency surgery. A preoperative nutritional assessment
should be performed by a nurse for which of these reasons?
a. A malnourished client is prone to postoperative infection.
b. Poor nutrition predisposes a client to respiratory complications.
c. Poor nutrition increases the risk of postoperative hemorrhage in a client.
d. A malnourished client has increased metabolic needs.
a. A malnourished client is prone to postoperative infection.
All the answers could be potential risks for a patient who is malnourished, but the most probable and
problematic is infection.
After discussing a client's weight-reduction dietary plan, a nurse finds the client eating candy that a visitor
brought. Which of these approaches should the nurse take?
a. Tell the client's visitors not to bring candy.
b. Remove the candy because it is not allowed on the client's diet.
c. Remind the client that as an adult, he/she should demonstrate the self-control necessary to improve health.
d. Recognize that the client is ultimately responsible for making their own decisions.
d. Recognize that the client is ultimately responsible for making their own decisions.
The nurse can provide education on a healthy lifestyle and nutrition, but a competent adult is responsible for
his/her own actions. Telling visitors not to bring the candy, or removing the candy, takes care of only the
immediate situation. The patient is likely to be confronted with other similar situations in which they need to
make a choice.
Which of these goals should a nurse include in the plan of care for a client who has a sensory alteration related to
blindness?
a. The client will demonstrate techniques that compensate for the visual change, by the time of discharge.
b. The client will carry out more activities while in the hospital as evidenced by attending group counseling.
c. The nurse will compensate for the client's visual deficit when performing activities of daily living.
d. The nurse will get the client's approval of the nursing care plan.
