Question 3 of 5
During a 2 wk postoperative follow-up home visit, a female client who had gastric bypass surgery exhibits bad tenderness, shoulder pain, & describes feelings of malaise. Her vital signs are: T 101.8, BP 100/50, HR 104, and RR 18. Which action should the RN take?

Question 4 of 5
A client with hyperthyroidism is receiving radioactive iodine therapy. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D.' The client stating 'I may experience some neck swelling' does not indicate a need for further teaching since neck swelling is an expected side effect of radioactive iodine therapy. Choices A and B are correct statements as the client should avoid close contact with pregnant women and children for a few days due to radiation exposure, and dry mouth and taste changes are common side effects. Choice C is redundant with choice D, making D the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is planning a community health fair to promote mental health awareness. Which activity is most likely to engage participants?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A workshop on stress management techniques is the most engaging activity as it allows participants to actively participate, learn practical skills, and interact with others. This hands-on approach fosters engagement and provides attendees with tools they can directly apply in their lives. Choice A, a lecture, may be informative but lacks the interactive element that promotes engagement. Choice C, a panel discussion, might be informative but could be passive for attendees. Choice D, distributing brochures, is informative but lacks the interactive and engaging nature of a workshop.
