2. When should Montelukast be taken?
- A. At least two hours before exercise
- B. Daily in the evening
- C. Two hours before exercise or daily in the evening
- D. None of the above
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Montelukast should be taken daily in the evening to effectively manage asthma symptoms. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain a consistent level of the medication in the body, providing optimal control over asthma symptoms and inflammation. Choice A is incorrect because Montelukast should not be taken specifically before exercise, but rather daily. Choice C is incorrect because although taking Montelukast two hours before exercise is not necessary, taking it daily in the evening is essential for its effectiveness. Choice D is incorrect as Montelukast should be taken daily to manage asthma.
3. Which team member works with the client to evaluate the need for special feeding devices and then teaches the client how to use the device?
- A. dietitian
- B. speech-language pathologist
- C. dietetic technician
- D. occupational therapist
Correct answer: D
Rationale: An occupational therapist is the team member who works with the client to evaluate the need for special feeding devices and teaches the client how to use them. Occupational therapists specialize in helping individuals with physical or cognitive impairments to perform daily activities. In this scenario, the need for special feeding devices may be due to impaired motor function or disability, making the occupational therapist the correct choice. The other options, dietitian, speech-language pathologist, and dietetic technician, do not typically specialize in evaluating the need for feeding devices or teaching clients how to use them.

- A. It may not yield observations typical of participants’ behavior in everyday life.
- B. Researchers cannot control conditions under which participants are observed.
- C. The findings cannot be applied to individuals other than the participant.
- D. It does not usually yield rich, descriptive insights into factors that affect development. Answer: C Page Ref: 30 Skill Level: Understand Topic: Studying Development Difficulty Level: Moderate
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The statement that describes a limitation of the clinical method is that the findings cannot be applied to individuals other than the participant. The clinical method typically involves in-depth studies of individual participants, which may limit generalizability to a broader population. This means that the findings from a clinical study may not be applicable to other individuals who are not directly involved in the study.
5. The client with peripheral venous disease is scheduled to go to the whirlpool for a dressing change. Which is the nurse’s priority intervention?
- A. Escort the client to the physical therapy department
- B. Medicate the client 30 minutes before going to the whirlpool
- C. Obtain the sterile dressing supplies for the client
- D. Assist the client to the bathroom prior to the treatment
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Pain management is essential before the procedure to ensure the client’s comfort and cooperation during the dressing change. Escorting the client to the physical therapy department (choice A) is not the priority at this time. While obtaining sterile dressing supplies (choice C) is important, ensuring pain management takes precedence. Assisting the client to the bathroom (choice D) is not directly related to the priority intervention of pain management before the whirlpool treatment.
