ATI RN Custom Exams Set 5

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Assessing the client's sacrum for dependent edema is crucial in the care plan for nephritic syndrome as it is common due to protein loss. Dependent edema occurs as a result of decreased oncotic pressure from protein loss in the urine. Monitoring urine for bright-red bleeding (choice A) is more relevant to conditions like glomerulonephritis. Evaluating calorie count or protein intake (choice B) is important for other conditions but not specifically for nephritic syndrome. Monitoring for a high serum albumin level (choice D) is not typically part of the immediate care plan for nephritic syndrome.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pork. Pork is high in thiamine, which is important for preventing thiamine deficiency. Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and metabolism. While fish, beef, and eggs are nutritious foods, they are not as high in thiamine as pork. Fish is more commonly known for its omega-3 fatty acids, beef for its iron content, and eggs for being a good source of protein and other nutrients.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, the occupational therapist. An occupational therapist specializes in helping individuals with activities of daily living, ergonomic assessments, and adaptive techniques. In the case of thoracic outlet syndrome, an occupational therapist can provide exercises and adaptations to improve the client's function and alleviate symptoms. Choosing the physical therapist (choice A) may also be beneficial for rehabilitation exercises, but occupational therapists focus more on functional activities. Referring to a thoracic surgeon (choice B) would be more appropriate for surgical interventions rather than initial management. Referring to a social worker (choice D) may not directly address the physical symptoms and functional limitations associated with thoracic outlet syndrome.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Accountability. The responsibility of 'Recommend awards and promotions' falls under the category of Accountability in personnel management. Accountability involves assessing and acknowledging the performance of individuals, which includes recommending awards and promotions based on merit and achievements. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the specific task of recommending awards and promotions. Personal/professional development focuses on growth opportunities, individual training relates to skill development, and military appearance/physical condition pertains to different aspects of personnel management that are not directly associated with recommending awards and promotions.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A low-residue diet is the appropriate dietary recommendation for a patient with Crohn's disease experiencing diarrhea. This diet helps reduce bowel movements and manage diarrhea by limiting the intake of foods that are harder to digest. High-fiber diets (Choice A) may worsen diarrhea due to increased bulk in the stool. High-fat diets (Choice C) can be harder to digest and may exacerbate symptoms. High-protein diets (Choice D) are not specifically recommended for managing diarrhea in Crohn's disease.
