TEST BANK FOR FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING (TWO VOLUME SET) WITH
DAVIS ADVANTAGE & DAVIS EDGE 4TH EDITION BY JUDITH M WILKINSON |
9780803676909 | CHAPTER 1-46 | ALL CHAPTERS WITH ANSWERS AND
RATIONALS

,Question 1

Question: A nurse is teaching a client about foods that are high in fiber.
Which of the following foods should the nurse include?

• A. Chicken breast
• B. Eggs
• C. Black beans
• D. White rice

Answer: C. Black beans

Rationale: Black beans are high in fiber, which is important for
digestive health. Foods like chicken breast and eggs are high in protein
but do not provide significant fiber. White rice has had most of its fiber
removed during processing.

Question 2

Question: A client with diabetes mellitus is experiencing hypoglycemia.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

• A. Administer a glucagon injection
• B. Give the client 15 g of carbohydrates
• C. Call the healthcare provider
• D. Check the client's blood glucose level

Answer: D. Check the client's blood glucose level

,Rationale: The first action should be to check the blood glucose level to
confirm hypoglycemia. Once confirmed, the nurse can administer 15 g
of carbohydrates to increase the blood sugar. If the client is unconscious
or unable to swallow, a glucagon injection may be necessary. Calling the
healthcare provider is important but not the immediate first step.

Question 3

Question: A nurse is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter
for a female client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take
to maintain sterile technique?

• A. Use sterile gloves to handle all equipment
• B. Cleanse the perineal area with a betadine solution
• C. Inflate the balloon before insertion
• D. Position the client in a side-lying position

Answer: A. Use sterile gloves to handle all equipment

Rationale: Using sterile gloves to handle all equipment is essential to
maintain sterile technique during the insertion of an indwelling urinary
catheter. Cleansing the perineal area is important but does not directly
relate to maintaining sterility during the procedure. Inflating the balloon
before insertion and positioning the client in a side-lying position are
incorrect steps.

Question 4

Question: A nurse is caring for a client who has just returned from
surgery. Which of the following assessments is the priority?

• A. Surgical site
• B. Pain level
• C. Vital signs
• D. Level of consciousness

, Answer: C. Vital signs

Rationale: The priority assessment for a client who has just returned
from surgery is their vital signs. This is crucial to identify any immediate
postoperative complications. After ensuring the client's vital signs are
stable, the nurse can then assess the surgical site, pain level, and level of
consciousness.

Question 5

Question: A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a
new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following statements
indicates the client understands the teaching?

• A. "I should avoid eating spinach and other green vegetables."
• B. "I can take aspirin if I have a headache."
• C. "I will double my dose if I miss one."
• D. "I need to have my blood tested regularly."

Answer: D. "I need to have my blood tested regularly."

Rationale: Clients taking warfarin need to have their blood tested
regularly to monitor their INR levels and ensure the medication is at a
therapeutic level. They should avoid making dietary changes that affect
vitamin K intake (like eating spinach) and avoid taking aspirin due to the
increased risk of bleeding. Doubling doses is unsafe and incorrect.

Question 6

Question: A nurse is caring for a client who has difficulty swallowing.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent
aspiration?

• A. Instruct the client to drink thin liquids
• B. Position the client in a semi-reclined position
• C. Encourage the client to lie down after meals
