1. A nurse is caring for a client who is recovering from surgery. The
client reports pain as 8/10. Which of the following actions should the
nurse take first?
• A) Administer pain medication.
• B) Reassess pain level in 30 minutes.
• C) Ask the client about their pain tolerance.
• D) Encourage the client to use relaxation techniques.
Answer: A) Administer pain medication.
Rationale: When a client reports severe pain, the nurse should address
the pain immediately by administering prescribed pain medication
before reassessing pain levels, asking about pain tolerance, or
attempting relaxation techniques.


2. A nurse is teaching a client who has chronic hypertension about
managing their blood pressure. Which of the following statements by
the client indicates a need for further teaching?
• A) "I will monitor my blood pressure at home regularly."
• B) "I can continue to eat foods high in sodium as long as I take my
medication."
• C) "I should engage in regular physical activity to help lower my
blood pressure."
• D) "I need to avoid smoking because it can raise my blood
pressure."
Answer: B) "I can continue to eat foods high in sodium as long as I take
my medication."

,Rationale: Clients with hypertension should reduce sodium intake to
help manage blood pressure, regardless of medication use. A diet high
in sodium can counteract the effectiveness of antihypertensive
medications.


3. A nurse is preparing a client for discharge after a hip replacement
surgery. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the
discharge teaching?
• A) "Avoid using a walker for at least 2 weeks."
• B) "You can resume your normal exercise routine within 1 week."
• C) "Place a chair in the shower to prevent standing for long
periods."
• D) "You may bend your hip past 90 degrees when sitting."
Answer: C) "Place a chair in the shower to prevent standing for long
periods."
Rationale: Clients recovering from hip replacement surgery should
avoid prolonged standing and bending their hips past 90 degrees.
Placing a chair in the shower can help them avoid falls and fatigue.


4. A nurse is caring for a client with a history of asthma. The client is
using a bronchodilator inhaler. Which of the following instructions
should the nurse provide to ensure proper medication use?
• A) "Use the inhaler before meals for the best effect."
• B) "Hold your breath for 10 seconds after inhaling the
medication."

, • C) "Rinse your mouth immediately after using the inhaler."
• D) "Take two inhalations at once to ensure the medication reaches
your lungs."
Answer: B) "Hold your breath for 10 seconds after inhaling the
medication."
Rationale: Holding the breath for 10 seconds after inhaling a
bronchodilator allows the medication to reach deep into the lungs and
increases its effectiveness.


5. A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving intravenous (IV) fluids.
The nurse notes that the client’s IV site is swollen, warm, and
erythematous. What should the nurse do first?
• A) Discontinue the IV infusion and remove the catheter.
• B) Apply a warm compress to the site.
• C) Notify the healthcare provider.
• D) Change the IV tubing.
Answer: A) Discontinue the IV infusion and remove the catheter.

infusion and remove the catheter to prevent further complications.

mellitus. Which of the following statements by the client indicates
