NURSING 1128 AND 1424 TEST 1 (SAC NURSING) LATEST ACTUAL
EXAM TEST 2025 WITH LATEST UPDATED (QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS) /ALREADY GRADED A+
A client with a musculoskeletal injury is instructed to alter the diet. The objective of altering the
diet is to facilitate the absorption of calcium from food and supplements. Considering the food
intake objective, which food item should the nurse encourage the client to include in the diet?
Ans: Vitamin D-fortified milk
The nurse should advise the client to include dietary sources of vitamin D, such as fatty fish,
vitamin D-fortified milk, and cereals. These foods protect against bone loss and decrease the risk
of fracture by facilitating the absorption of calcium from food and supplements. Red meat,
bananas, and green vegetables do not facilitate calcium absorption from food and supplements.
,Qiz A patient has been diagnosed with osteomalacia. What common symptoms does the nurse
recognize that correlate with the diagnosis?
Ans: Bone pain and tenderness
Osteomalacia is a metabolic bone disease characterized by inadequate mineralization of bone. As
a result, the skeleton softens and weakens, causing pain, tenderness to touch, bowing of the
bones, and pathologic fractures.
Qiz A home care nurse assesses for disease complications in a client with bone cancer . Which
laboratory value may indicate the presence of a disease complication?
Ans: Calcium level of 2.9mmol/L
In clients with bone cancer, tumor destruction of bone commonly causes excessive calcium
release. When the calcium-excreting capacity of the kidneys and GI tract is exceeded, the serum
calcium level rises above normal, leading to hypercalcemia (a serum calcium level greater than
10.2 mg/dl). Hyperkalemia (a potassium level greater than 5 mEq/L) isn't caused by bone cancer
and is seldom associated with chemotherapy. Hyponatremia (a sodium level less than 135
, mEq/L) and hypomagnesemia (a magnesium level less than 0.53mmol/L) are potential adverse
effects of chemotherapy; these electrolyte disturbances don't result directly from bone cancer.
Qiz The nurse recognizes that the client with osteomyelitis is at risk for:
Ans: Bone abscess formation
Bone abscess formation is a potential complication of osteomyelitis.
Qiz Which of the following are routes of administration for Calcitonin? Select all that apply.
Ans: -Nasal spray
-Subcutaneous
-Intramuscular injection
Qiz A patient visits an orthopedic specialist because of pain that he feels beginning in his low
back and radiating behind his right thigh and down below his right knee. The doctor suspects a
