1. A client with systemic lupus erythematous complains of flank pain. Which laboratory test does the nurse anticipate will be ordered?

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

2. What are signs of hearing loss? (Select all that apply)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Signs of hearing loss include tinnitus, frequent asking to repeat statements, and shouting in conversations.

3. The nurse is providing medication for a client with osteomyelitis. What teaching should the nurse indicate in the education?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

4. A nurse is caring for a 25-year-old male quadriplegic client. Which of the following treatments would the nurse perform to decrease the risk of joint contracture and promote joint mobility?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is to provide passive range of motion (ROM). In quadriplegic clients, who have limited or no movement of their limbs, passive ROM exercises are crucial to maintain joint mobility and prevent joint contractures. Administering glucosamine supplements (choice A) is not directly related to promoting joint mobility. Turning the client every 2 hours (choice B) is essential for preventing pressure ulcers but does not directly address joint contracture and mobility. Providing active ROM exercises (choice C) may not be suitable for quadriplegic clients as they are unable to perform these movements on their own.

5. The client states, "Why am I getting protein supplements while I am healing from a bed sore?"? What is the best response by the nurse?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:
