- Correct Answer :A. "It is important that you continue your medication while learning to meditate."
(The prolonged practice of meditation may lead to reduced need for antihypertensive medications. However,
the medications must be continued (A) while the physiologic response to meditation is monitored. (B) is not as
important as continuing the medication. The HCP should be informed, but permission is not required to mediate
(C). Although, it is true that the complimentary therapy might be effective (D), it is essential that the client
continue with antihypertensive mediations until the effect of mediation can be measured.)
The nurse is assessing the nutritional status of several clients. Which client has the greatest nutritional need for
additional intake of protein?
A. A college-age track runner with a sprained ankle.
B. A lactating woman nursing her 3-day-old infant.
C. A school-aged child with Type 2 diabetes.
D. An elderly man being treated for a peptic ulcer. –
Correct Answer :B. A lactating woman nursing her 3-day-old infant.
(A lactating woman (B) has the greatest need for additional protein intake. (A, C, and D) are all conditions that
require protein but do NOT have the increased metabolic protein demands of lactation.)
A client who is a Jehovah's Witness is admitted to the nursing unit. Which concern should the nurse have for
planning care in terms of the client's beliefs?
A. Autopsy of the body is prohibited.
B. Blood transfusions are forbidden.
C. Alcohol use in any form is not allowed.

A. Complimentary healing practices interfere with the efficacy of the medical model of treatment.
B. Conventional medications are likely to interact with folk remedies and cause adverse effects.
C. Many complimentary healing practices can be used in conjunction with conventional practices.
D. Conventional medical practices will ultimately replace the use of complimentary healing practices. –
Correct Answer :C. Many complimentary healing practices can be used in conjunction with conventional
practices. (Conventional approaches to health care can be depersonalizing and often fail to take into
consideration all aspects of an individual, including body, mind, and spirit. Often complimentary healing practices
can be used in conjunction with conventional medical practices (C), rather than interfering (A) with conventional
practices, causing adverse effects (B), or replacing conventional medical care (D). )
A client who is in hospice care complains of increasing amounts of pain. The healthcare provider prescribes an
analgesic every four hours as needed. Which action should the nurse implement?
A. Give an around-the-clock schedule for administration of analgesics.
B. Administer analgesic medication as needed when the pain is severe.
C. Provide medication to keep the client sedated and unaware of stimuli.
D. Offer a medication-free period so that the client can do daily activities. –
Correct Answer :A. Give an around-the-clock schedule for administration of analgesics.
(The most effective management of pain is achieved using an around-the-clock schedule that provides analgesic
medications on a regular basis (A) and in a timely manner. Analgesics are less effective if pain persists until it is
severe, so an analgesic medication should be administered before the client's pain peaks (B). Providing comfort
is a priority for the client who is dying, but sedation that impairs the client's ability to interact and experience the
time before life ends should be minimized (C). Offering a medication-free period allows the serum drug level to
fall, which is not an effective method to manage chronic pain.)
A client with pneumonia has a decrease in oxygen saturation from 94% to 88% while ambulating. Based on these
findings, which intervention should the nurse implement first?
A. Assist the ambulating client back to the bed
B. Encourage the client to ambulate to resolve pneumonia.

C. Obtain a prescription for portable oxygen while ambulating.
D. Move the oximetry probe from the finger to the earlobe. –
Correct Answer :A. Assist the ambulating client back to the bed.
(An oxygen saturation below 90% indicates inadequate oxygen. First, the client should be assisted to return to
bed (A) to minimize oxygen demands. Ambulation increases aeration of the lungs to prevent pooling of
respiratory secretions, but the client's activity at this time is depleting oxygen saturation of the blood, so (B) is
contraindicated. Increased activity increases respiratory effort, and oxygen may be necessary to continue
ambulation (C), but first the client should return to the bed to rest. Oxygen saturation levels at different sites
should be evaluated AFTER the client returns to bed (D). )
A female client asks the nurse to find someone who can translate into her native language her concerns about a
treatment. Which action should the nurse take?
A. Explain that anyone who speaks her language can answer her questions.
B. Provide a translator only in an emergency situation.
C. Ask a family member or friend of the client to translate.
D. Request and document the name of the certified translator.
- Correct Answer :D. Request and document the name of the certified translator. (A certified translator should
be requested to ensure the exchanged information is reliable and unaltered. To adhere to legal requirements in
some states, the name of the translator should be documented (D). Client information that is translated is
private and protected under HIPAA rules, so (A) is not the best action. Although an emergency situation may
require extenuating circumstances (B), a translator should be provided in most situations. Family members may
skew info and not translate the exact information, so (C) is not preferred.)
An African-American grandmother tells the nurse that her 4-year-old grandson is suffering with "miseries." Based
on this statement, which focused assessment should the nurse conduct?
A. Inquire about the source and type of pain.
B. Examine the nose for congestion and discharge.
C. Take vital signs for temperature elevation.
