Correct answer: D

Rationale:

2. What is not a potential complication of RA?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

3. A client is diagnosed with glaucoma. The provider needs to determine if it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. What test does the nurse anticipate?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gonioscopy is the appropriate test to anticipate in this scenario. It is used to distinguish between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma by examining the angle where the iris meets the cornea. Choice A, ultrasonic imaging, is not typically used to differentiate between these types of glaucoma. Choice C, corneal staining, is used to detect corneal abrasions and defects, not to differentiate between types of glaucoma. Choice D, electroretinography, is a test that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina and is not specific to differentiating between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma.

4. What is the likely reason that a client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) would succumb to pneumonia while a healthy person exposed to the same infection did not?

Correct answer: A

Rationale:

5. 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.
