,Question 1
A nurse is caring for an older adult client and is concerned that the client may have a
fecal impaction. Which of the following is the most important question for the nurse to
ask?
A. "What types of foods have you been eating?"
B. "Are you using stool softeners or laxatives?"
C. "Have you been passing gas?"
D. "Have you had small liquid stools?"
Correct Answer: D. "Have you had small liquid stools?"
Rationale: With a fecal impaction, liquid stool can leak around the hardened mass
(paradoxical diarrhea). Asking about small liquid stools is key to identifying impaction.
Passing gas may still occur but is less specific.
Question 2
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who practices Islam. Which of the
following questions should the nurse ask the client to clarify the client's religious
preferences?
A. "Do you receive Holy Communion?"
B. "Do you follow a kosher diet?"
C. "Do you consume pork products?"
D. "Do you oppose receiving a blood transfusion if it is needed?"
Correct Answer: C. "Do you consume pork products?"
Rationale: Islam prohibits pork. Asking about pork consumption respects dietary
religious practices. Holy Communion is Christian, kosher is Jewish, and blood
transfusions are generally accepted in Islam.
,Question 3
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is scheduled for a bladder scan.
Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
A. "You will need to sign a consent form before we begin the procedure."
B. "I will place a gel pad directly above your pubic area before I place the probe."
C. "You will need to hold your urine for 1 hour prior to the procedure."
D. "You will receive a contrast dye through an IV catheter prior to the scan."
Correct Answer: B. "I will place a gel pad directly above your pubic area before I place
the probe."
Rationale: A bladder scan uses ultrasound; a gel pad or gel is placed above the pubic
area for probe contact. No consent is required (noninvasive), a full bladder is needed
(don't void), and no contrast dye is used.
Question 4
A nurse is caring for a client who has limited mobility. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take to maintain the client's skin integrity?
A. Use warm water when bathing the client.
B. Place a donut-shaped cushion in the client's chair.
C. Massage reddened areas over bony prominences.
D. Maintain the client in high-Fowler's position.
Correct Answer: A. Use warm water when bathing the client.
Rationale: Warm (not hot) water prevents skin drying and damage. Donut cushions can
impair circulation; massage over reddened areas can damage capillaries; high-Fowler's
increases shear risk.
Question 5
, A nurse and an assistive personnel (AP) are providing postmortem care for a deceased
client prior to visitation by the family. Which of the following actions by the AP requires
intervention by the nurse?
A. Gathering the client's personal belongings.
B. Removing the client's dentures.
C. Placing absorbent pads under the client's buttocks.
D. Closing the client's eyes.
Correct Answer: B. Removing the client's dentures.
Rationale: Dentures should be left in place to maintain facial shape for family viewing.
Other actions are appropriate.
Question 6
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about advance directives with a client who has end-
stage renal disease. Which of the following client statements indicates an
understanding of the teaching?
A. "I know that I can change my advance directives if I need to in the future."
B. "My health care proxy will make my health care decisions as soon as I have signed
the power of attorney."
C. "My family can overrule the decisions made by my health care proxy."
D. "Advance directives from one state are valid in any other state."
Correct Answer: A. "I know that I can change my advance directives if I need to in the
future."
Rationale: Advance directives can be changed at any time by a competent client. The
proxy only acts when the client cannot make decisions; family cannot overrule;
directives may not be valid across state lines.
