Rationale: Difficulty speaking is a classic symptom of stroke, suggesting a potential blockage of blood flow to the brain. Prompt intervention is crucial to minimize brain damage. Elevated blood pressure (Choice A) may need management but is not the most urgent concern in this scenario. A blood glucose level of 180 mg/dL (Choice B) is slightly elevated but does not require immediate intervention for a suspected stroke. A temperature of 99.8�F (37.7�C) (Choice D) is within normal range and not a critical finding in this context.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Organizing free community exercise classes is the most likely successful intervention as it provides a structured and accessible opportunity for adults to engage in physical activity. This choice directly offers a practical solution by providing a regular and organized setting for individuals to participate in physical activity. Distributing flyers about the benefits of exercise, while informative, may not lead to actual participation. Partnering with local gyms to offer discounts relies on individuals taking the initiative to sign up for gym memberships, which may not be feasible for everyone. Hosting a health fair with information booths is informative but may not directly address the need for increased physical activity among adults in the community.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A serum creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dL is within the normal range, but weight gain of 2 pounds in 24 hours indicates fluid retention and requires immediate intervention.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this situation, the nurse should first instruct the client to perform pursed-lip breathing. Pursed-lip breathing helps improve oxygenation and decrease the work of breathing in clients with COPD. Administering a bronchodilator or increasing the oxygen flow rate may be necessary interventions but addressing the breathing technique through pursed-lip breathing is the initial action to optimize oxygenation. Notifying the healthcare provider immediately is not the first action indicated in this scenario; the nurse should intervene promptly to assist the client in improving breathing before escalating the situation.
