✓ Correct Answer: Fresh fruits and vegetables
Category: Cardiac / Nutrition
Rationale: The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy,
lean proteins, and whole grains. It restricts sodium, saturated fat, and processed foods. Fresh produce is high in potassium,
magnesium, and fiber — all of which lower blood pressure.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
• Canned soups: High sodium content; directly worsens hypertension.
• Processed deli meats: Very high in sodium and saturated fat; contraindicated in hypertension.
• Whole milk dairy: Full-fat dairy is high in saturated fat; low-fat or non-fat dairy is recommended on the DASH diet.

✓ Correct Answer: Withhold the medication and notify the provider
Category: Pharmacology / Cardiac
, Rationale: Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that slows the heart rate. The nurse should withhold digoxin and notify the provider if
the apical pulse is below 60 beats/min in adults before administration, because additional negative chronotropic effect could
cause dangerous bradycardia or heart block.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
• Administer as prescribed: An apical pulse below 60 is a contraindication to giving digoxin.
• Half dose: There is no evidence-based protocol for administering a half dose; the drug is held and the provider is notified.
• Give and recheck: Administering digoxin to a bradycardic client without provider guidance is unsafe.

✓ Correct Answer: Axillary temperature of 36.0°C (96.8°F)
Category: Pediatric / Newborn Assessment
Rationale: A normal newborn axillary temperature is 36.5–37.2°C (97.7–99°F). A temperature of 36.0°C (96.8°F) indicates
hypothermia, which is a significant concern in newborns because it increases oxygen consumption, can lead to hypoglycemia,
and increases metabolic demands. This requires immediate warming and provider notification.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
• HR 152: Normal newborn heart rate is 110–160 beats/min; 152 is within normal range.
• RR 44: Normal newborn respiratory rate is 30–60 breaths/min; 44 is normal.
• Vernix caseosa: A white, cheese-like protective coating present on newborns — normal finding.
