Around what age do children typically start to develop 'stranger anxiety'?
- A. 9 months
- B. 6 months
- C. 3 months
- D. 12 months
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is '6 months.' At around this age, children typically start to develop 'stranger anxiety' as they become more aware of unfamiliar faces and may start showing signs of distress or anxiety around strangers. At 3 months, infants are still very young and unlikely to display stranger anxiety. While by 9 or 12 months, children have usually already developed some level of stranger anxiety, it typically starts around 6 months, making it the most appropriate answer in this context.

The nurse is caring for a female client who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and will soon begin chemotherapy. Which of these statements would require additional follow-up and education?
- A. I will be most susceptible to an infection between 7 and 12 days after chemotherapy.
- B. I should try to get my annual teeth cleaning in before beginning chemotherapy.
- C. I should wait until all my hair falls out to purchase a wig.
- D. I should try to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This client is at risk for altered body image due to chemotherapy-induced hair loss. A wig can assist in coping with this change. It is advisable for the client to shop for a wig before hair loss occurs to better match color and style. Waiting until all hair falls out may lead to stress and limited options in finding a suitable wig. Choices A, B, and D are accurate. Understanding the timing of susceptibility to infection, maintaining oral health before chemotherapy, and staying hydrated are important aspects of care during chemotherapy. Therefore, the statement 'I should wait until all my hair falls out to purchase a wig' requires additional follow-up and education.
When a nurse asks a client to repeat the word 'ninety-nine' while listening through the stethoscope and is able to hear the word clearly, which assessment finding is being documented?
- A. Normal egophony
- B. Abnormal vesicular breath sounds
- C. Abnormal bronchophony
- D. Normal whispered pectoriloquy
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse is documenting an abnormal bronchophony assessment finding. Bronchophony is a technique where the nurse asks the client to repeat a specific word, such as 'ninety-nine,' while listening through the stethoscope. Normally, the voice transmission is soft, muffled, and indistinct. However, if there is a pathologic condition increasing lung density, the nurse will hear the word clearly, indicating an abnormality. Vesicular breath sounds are normal sounds heard over peripheral lung fields and are not related to vocal resonance assessment. Egophony involves the client phonating a long 'ee-ee-ee-ee' sound, not repeating a specific word. Whispered pectoriloquy involves whispering a phrase like 'one-two-three,' not repeating a specific word. In these cases, normal findings are 'eeeeee' for egophony and a muffled, almost inaudible sound for whispered pectoriloquy.
The client is assessing a client who has recently found out she is pregnant. Which of the following statements would be a priority for the nurse to follow up on?
- A. "I am nervous about how painful labor will be."?
- B. "I need to review my finances and make sure I am prepared to care for a child."?
- C. "I hate this nausea that I've been having for a week."?
- D. "I am preparing myself to do this on my own because I do not have any family nearby. But I have always been very independent."?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should follow up on the client's lack of a support system. Even if there is no family in the area, there are supportive resources in the community that may help the client through the pregnancy and into motherhood. It is normal for the client to worry about labor, address financial concerns, and express displeasure from early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea. However, the priority is to address the client's statement about preparing to handle the pregnancy on her own due to the absence of nearby family support. This could have significant implications for the client's emotional well-being and ability to cope effectively throughout the pregnancy journey.
While assisting with data collection, the client informs the nurse that he is having difficulty swallowing medications and food. The nurse gathers additional subjective data and documents that the client is experiencing which disorder?
- A. Pyrosis
- B. Anorexia
- C. Eructation
- D. Dysphagia
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Dysphagia.' Dysphagia is the term used to indicate difficulty swallowing, which can occur in disorders of the throat or esophagus. Anorexia refers to a loss of appetite, not difficulty swallowing. Eructation is the medical term for belching, not difficulty swallowing. Pyrosis is heartburn, a burning sensation in the esophagus and stomach caused by the reflux of gastric acid, not difficulty swallowing.
The LPN is taking care of a 176-pound client who has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. The primary healthcare provider has written an order for Lantus® (insulin glargine injection) 100 units/mL, using weight-based dosing of 0.2 units/kg per day. The LPN should prepare ____ units for administration.
- A. 12
- B. 35
- C. 16
- D. 9
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the correct dosage, first convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms. As 1 kg = 2.2 pounds, 176 pounds ÷ 2.2 = 80 kg. The client should receive 0.2 units for every kilogram, which equals 16 units. Therefore, the total amount to prepare is 16 units x 100 units/mL = 1600 units. Considering the medication concentration of 100 units/mL, 1600 units ÷ 100 units/mL = 16 mL. However, since the question asks for the number of units, the final answer is 16 units x 2 injections = 32 units. Therefore, the LPN should prepare 32 units for administration.
