1. A client is bedridden and appears to be frail and malnourished. Which nursing interventions will increase the risk of pressure injury?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

2. The goal for a client with impaired mobility is to prevent atelectasis. What nursing intervention would best help the client meet this goal?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Assisting the client to the orthopneic position is the best nursing intervention to help prevent atelectasis. This position improves lung expansion by allowing the chest to expand fully, aiding in the prevention of atelectasis. Offering a protein-rich diet (choice B) is important for overall nutrition but does not directly address preventing atelectasis. Offering a bedpan for toileting (choice C) and turning the client every 4 hours (choice D) are important for preventing pressure ulcers in immobile clients but do not directly prevent atelectasis.

3. The client asks the nurse what nonpharmacological intervention can be used to reduce pain and swelling in her joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

4. A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for ibuprofen to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The nurse should teach the client to monitor for what adverse effect of this medication?

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

5. What does CREST stand for?
