Community Health HESI Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing a client for a scheduled surgical procedure. What client statement should the nurse report to the healthcare provider?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The client's intake of juice after midnight should be reported due to the increased risk of aspiration while under general anesthesia.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is providing care for a client with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Which assessment finding requires immediate intervention?

Correct Answer: D

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is assessing a client with pneumonia who is receiving oxygen therapy. Which finding indicates that the therapy is effective?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute indicates effective oxygen therapy. In pneumonia, the respiratory rate typically increases due to the body's effort to improve oxygenation. Option B (pH of 7.35) is related to acid-base balance, not specifically indicating oxygen therapy effectiveness. Option C (oxygen saturation of 92%) is below the normal range (95-100%), suggesting the need for oxygen therapy. Option D (clear breath sounds) is a positive finding but not a direct indicator of oxygen therapy effectiveness.
