1. Which of the following statements made by a client diagnosed with human immunodefiency virus (HIV) would require further teaching?

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

2. Which assessment is NOT a nonverbal sing of pain?

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

3. The nurse is caring for 4 clients. What client should the nurse see first?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is the client on Methotrexate with a fever. Fever in a client on Methotrexate, an immunosuppressant, could indicate a serious infection or adverse drug reaction requiring immediate attention to prevent complications. The other choices do not present immediate life-threatening concerns. A client with lupus asking for dinner can wait, a client with chronic rheumatic pain may need pain management but is not the priority over a fever in a client on Methotrexate, and a client with children visiting does not pose an urgent medical issue.

4. What is accurate health promotion teaching to prevent ear infection or trauma? (Select all that apply)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct health promotion teachings to prevent ear infection or trauma include blowing the nose gently without blocking nostrils, wearing hearing protection when exposed to loud noise, and avoiding the use of cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear. Blocking one nostril when blowing the nose is incorrect, as it can cause problems. Therefore, choice A is inaccurate. Additionally, using cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear can lead to trauma or infection, making choice C a correct preventive measure.

5. The client states, “the doctor says I am nearsighted. I do not get it.” What would be the best response by the nurse?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct response is to explain to the client what nearsightedness means, which is having difficulty seeing distant objects, as known as myopia. Choice A is not helpful as changing doctors is not necessary for this situation. Choice C is premature as wearing glasses is a possible solution but not the only one. Choice D is incorrect as nearsightedness (myopia) often requires glasses for correction.
