Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions

Question 1 of 5

The medical record for a client states that the client has hemiplegia. What does this mean?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Hemiplegia refers to paralysis on one side of the body, affecting either the right or left side. Choice A is incorrect because it describes selective paralysis of specific limbs, not one side of the body. Choice B is incorrect as hemiplegia does not involve paralysis of all four extremities. Choice C is also incorrect as decreased vision in one eye is not indicative of hemiplegia.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is assessing a client who had a cast placed 4 hours ago. What assessment finding is cause for concern?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Inability to insert a finger between the cast and skin indicates the cast is too tight, risking circulation problems.

Question 3 of 5

What finding is often present in a client with osteoporosis?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Kyphosis is a common finding in osteoporosis due to vertebral compression fractures. Chronic pain (Choice A) can occur in osteoporosis but is not a specific finding. Dupuytren's contracture (Choice B) is a condition affecting hand fingers' connective tissue, not typically associated with osteoporosis. Inflammation (Choice C) is not a typical finding in osteoporosis but rather a characteristic of other conditions.

Question 4 of 5

What is a negative effect of immobility on the musculoskeletal system?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Contractures are a negative effect of immobility on the musculoskeletal system.

Question 5 of 5

What is the condition called when the client's pupils are different sizes and have been this way since childhood?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Anisocoria is the correct answer. Anisocoria is the condition of having pupils of different sizes. Exophthalmos refers to abnormal protrusion of the eyeball, not pupil size difference. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. Scleral edema is swelling of the sclera, the white part of the eye, and not related to differing pupil sizes.
