Question 1 of 5
A case manager at an assisted living facility is reviewing the use of complementary health practices by several clients. Which of the following actions should the case manager plan to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Tai chi is a recognized complementary health practice for stress reduction. Scheduling time for a new client to continue tai chi practice aligns with supporting holistic care. Choice A is incorrect because reporting a client's use of echinacea as a contraindication to aspirin therapy is not necessary without further context or evidence of interactions. Choice C is wrong because yoga can indeed be effective in reducing manifestations of menopause. Choice D is also incorrect because while cranberry juice is known to help prevent urinary tract infections, it is not typically used to treat existing infections.
Question 2 of 5
Which personality disorder is characterized by disregard for others and manipulative behaviors?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Antisocial Personality Disorder is the correct answer. This disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others. Individuals with this disorder often display behaviors such as manipulation, exploitation, and a lack of empathy. Choice A, Borderline Personality Disorder, is characterized by unstable moods, behavior, and relationships. Choice C, Histrionic Personality Disorder, is characterized by attention-seeking behavior and excessive emotions. Choice D, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, is characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others.
Question 3 of 5
A patient is being treated for dehydration. Which lab result would support the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Elevated BUN levels are a characteristic finding in dehydration due to reduced kidney perfusion and increased reabsorption of urea. Hemoglobin levels might be elevated in conditions like polycythemia vera, not directly related to dehydration. A low sodium level could be seen in conditions like hyponatremia. A high white blood cell count is more indicative of infection or inflammation rather than dehydration.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse on a medical-surgical unit is preparing to delegate tasks to a licensed practical nurse (LPN). Which of the following tasks should the charge nurse delegate to the LPN?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Administering oral antibiotics is within the scope of practice for an LPN and can be safely delegated. LPNs are trained to administer medications, including oral ones. Performing an admission assessment (Choice B) involves critical thinking and comprehensive evaluation, typically done by registered nurses. Creating new teaching material (Choice C) requires specialized knowledge and is usually the responsibility of a nurse with additional training in education. Administering IV conscious sedation (Choice D) is a high-risk task that requires advanced skills and should be performed by a registered nurse or higher-level provider.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the parent of a child who is receiving oral nystatin for oral candidiasis. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because swabbing the inside of the child's mouth with the nystatin solution is the correct administration method for treating oral candidiasis. Mixing the medication with applesauce or providing a snack with it is not the recommended method of administration. Storing the medication in the refrigerator is also unnecessary and not part of the proper administration instructions.
