1. A male client with hypertension who received new antihypertensive
prescription at his last visit return to the clinic two weeks later to
evaluate his blood pressure (BP). His BP is 158/106 and he admits that
he has not been taking the prescribed medication because the drugs
make him “feel bad”. In explaining the need for hypertension control,
the nurse should stress that an elevated BP places the client at risk for
which pathophysiological condition?
a- Blindness secondary to cataracts
b- Acute kidney injury due to glomerular damage
c- Stroke secondary to hemorrhage
d- Heart block due to myocardial damage
Rationale: Stroke related to cerebral hemorrhage is major risk for
uncontrolled hypertension.
2. Following discharge teaching, a male client with duodenal ulcer tells the
nurse the he will drink plenty of dairy products, such as milk, to help coat and
protect his ulcer. What is the best follow-up action by the nurse?
a- Remind the client it is also important to switch to decaffeinated coffee and
tea
b- Suggest the client also plan to eat frequent small meals to reduce discomfort.
c- Review with the client the need to avoid food that are rich in milk and
cream.
d- Reinforce this teaching by asking the client to list a dairy food he might
select.

should be avoided.
3. The nurse observes an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) positioning a
newly admitted client who has a seizure disorder. The client is supine and
the UAP is placing soft pillows along the side rails. What action should the
nurse implement?
a- Ensure that the UAP has placed the pillows effectively to protect the client.
b- Instruct the UAP to obtain soft blankets to secure to the side rails
instead of pillows.
c- Assume responsibility for placing the pillows while the UAP completes another
task.
d- Ask the UAP to use some of the pillows to prop the client in a side lying
position.
Rationale: The nurse should instruct the UAP to pad the side rails with soft
blankest because the use of pillows could result in suffocation and would need to
be removed at the onset of the seizure. The nurse can delegate paddling the side
rails to the UAP
