1. A client with lupus experience Raynaud's phenomenon. What should the nurse include when providing client education about this?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

2. The nurse is assessing a client who had a cast placed 4 hours ago. What assessment finding is cause for concern?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inability to insert a finger between the cast and skin indicates the cast is too tight, risking circulation problems.

3. What is the condition called when the client's pupils are different sizes and have been this way since childhood?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Anisocoria is the correct answer. Anisocoria is the condition of having pupils of different sizes. Exophthalmos refers to abnormal protrusion of the eyeball, not pupil size difference. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. Scleral edema is swelling of the sclera, the white part of the eye, and not related to differing pupil sizes.

4. What should be done immediately after an ankle injury?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Rest, ice, compress, and elevate the ankle. After an ankle injury, it is essential to follow the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for immediate treatment. Resting the injured ankle helps prevent further damage, applying ice reduces swelling and pain, compression with a bandage provides support and helps control swelling, and elevating the ankle above heart level reduces swelling by allowing fluid to drain away from the injury site. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because heating, incubating, or confining the ankle can worsen the injury by increasing swelling and inflammation instead of reducing them.

5. How many mg is 5000 mcg? (Type answer as numeric only)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 5000 mcg is equal to 5 mg.
