Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Signs of hearing loss include tinnitus, frequent asking to repeat statements, and shouting in conversations.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The nurse should first remove the client's bracelet and rings from the right arm. This action is crucial to prevent complications such as swelling and restricted blood flow, which could worsen the condition. Applying ice, administering pain medications, and sending the client for an x-ray are important steps but should come after ensuring the client's jewelry is removed to avoid any further issues.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A nursing diagnosis is a clinical judgment about individual, family, or community responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes. Choice A is correct because it identifies nursing diagnosis as related to human responses to health conditions or life processes. Choice B is incorrect because nursing diagnoses can change as the patient's condition changes. Choice C is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is about responses, not just identifying pathology. Choice D is incorrect because a nursing diagnosis is not the same as a disease, illness, or injury; it is a statement about the patient's response to these conditions.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm indicates a potential complication that requires immediate attention to assess and manage. Choices A, B, and D do not present immediate life-threatening situations or emergent needs compared to sudden and increasing pain in a fractured arm, which takes priority to ensure the client's safety and comfort.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. In glaucoma, the optic nerve damage due to high intraocular pressure leads to permanent vision loss because the nerve fibers do not regenerate. Choice A is incorrect as it discusses bacterial infection, not relevant to glaucoma. Choice B is incorrect because it refers to retinal detachment, not glaucoma. Choice D is incorrect because not all glaucoma cases lead to permanent blindness; vision loss can be prevented or slowed with treatment.
