1. The client with rheumatoid arthritis is having her rheumatoid factor (RF) drawn while she is having a flare-up of the disease. Which result is seen in clients with rheumatoid arthritis?

Correct answer: C

Rationale:

2. The nurse is preparing to administer medications to a client with osteoarthritis. What is the goal of medication therapy?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

3. What is the priority intervention for the nurse to enhance meeting the psychosocial needs of a client on transmission-based precautions?

Correct answer: B

Rationale:

4. What is the priority nursing diagnosis for a client with immobility?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct priority nursing diagnosis for a client with immobility is 'Risk for impaired skin integrity as evidenced by pressure over bony prominences.' Immobility predisposes the client to the development of pressure ulcers due to prolonged pressure on bony areas. Monitoring and preventing impaired skin integrity is crucial to prevent complications. Choices A, B, and D are not the priority in this case. Constipation, ineffective breathing pattern, and disuse syndrome are important but secondary to the immediate risk of skin breakdown associated with immobility.

5. A client has a new arm cast. What is incorrect teaching by the nurse?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Sudden increase in drainage is not expected and should be reported as it may indicate an infection or other complication.
