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. A client has suffered from a femur fracture. What is the nurse's priority assessment?

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

3. What is the best intervention to reduce the risk of falling in the hospital room for a blind client being cared for?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The best intervention to reduce the risk of falling in the hospital room for a blind client is to orient the client to the location of objects in the room. This helps the client navigate safely and independently. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because telling the client's family to stay overnight, applying restraints, and shouting are not appropriate interventions for preventing falls in a blind client; in fact, they could potentially lead to increased anxiety and risk of falls.

4. A client is experiencing numbness and tingling distal to a new arm cast with no increase in pain. The nurse assesses that the client's fingers are pale, cool and swollen. What action does the nurse take next?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

5. 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.
