1. A client has an open wound with creamy thick yellow drainage. How would the nurse document this finding?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

2. What may be a cause of conductive hearing loss?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Otitis media can cause conductive hearing loss by affecting the middle ear.

3. What finding is often present in a client with osteoporosis?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Kyphosis is a common finding in osteoporosis due to vertebral compression fractures. Chronic pain (Choice A) can occur in osteoporosis but is not a specific finding. Dupuytren’s contracture (Choice B) is a condition affecting hand fingers' connective tissue, not typically associated with osteoporosis. Inflammation (Choice C) is not a typical finding in osteoporosis but rather a characteristic of other conditions.

4. The nurses assess the client's pain prior to completing a dressing change. The client says his current pain is 5/10, but he has pain of 10/10 when his dressing is changed. What is the priority intervention for this client?

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

5. To promote independence, which of these is the best intervention to implement?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is to allow the client to perform the activities of daily living they are able to do. This intervention promotes independence by encouraging clients to maintain their functional abilities. Choice A is incorrect as performing the client's activities of daily living for them does not empower independence. Choice B is irrelevant to promoting independence. Choice C is not actively promoting independence as it involves leaving the client alone without any guidance or support.
