Question 1 of 5

An ambulatory clinic nurse is interviewing a client who is complaining of flu-like symptoms. The client suddenly develops chest pain. Which question best assists the nurse in discriminating pain caused by a non-cardiac problem?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pain that worsens with breathing in can indicate pleuritic chest pain, which is non-cardiac in nature. This specific question helps in differentiating non-cardiac causes from cardiac causes of chest pain, as cardiac pain typically does not worsen with breathing.

Question 2 of 5

When assisting a hospitalized client newly diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) to make appropriate selections from the dietary menu, which meal should the nurse encourage the client to select?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Fresh strawberries, steamed vegetables, and baked fish constitute a meal low in saturated fats and cholesterol, making it a suitable choice for a client with CAD. This meal aligns with dietary recommendations to support heart health and manage CAD.

Correct Answer: B

This allows for gradual recovery and mobility while still being closely monitored, promoting the client's overall well-being and independence.
