For the correct answer choice:
It promotes better oxygenation by allowing full lung expansion is correct. Diaphragmatic breathing encourages deeper inhalation, improving ventilation and oxygenation.

For incorrect answer choices:
It decreases the work of breathing by speeding up respiration is incorrect. Diaphragmatic breathing typically focuses on slow, deep breaths rather than speeding up respiration.

It eliminates the need for supplemental oxygen during activities is incorrect. While it may improve breathing efficiency, it does not eliminate the need for oxygen if prescribed.

It allows you to breathe through your nose instead of your mouth is incorrect. Diaphragmatic breathing does not specifically involve changing the method of breathing through the nose or mouth.

For the correct answer choice:
Joint crepitus is correct. This symptom is commonly associated with osteoarthritis as the cartilage breaks down, leading to rough joint surfaces.

For incorrect answer choices:
Morning stiffness lasting over an hour is incorrect. While morning stiffness can occur, it typically lasts less than 30 minutes in osteoarthritis, making this sign more consistent with rheumatoid arthritis.

Warmth and erythema over the joint is incorrect. These findings are more indicative of inflammatory arthritis rather than osteoarthritis.

Asymmetrical joint involvement is incorrect. OA can be asymmetrical but is often characterized by the presence of crepitus and is more common in weight-bearing joints.

For the correct answer choice:
Evaluate for signs of asterixis is correct. This sign is indicative of hepatic encephalopathy and warrants immediate assessment.

For incorrect answer choices:
Check the patient's serum ammonia levels is incorrect. While serum ammonia levels are important in diagnosing hepatic encephalopathy, the nurse should first evaluate observable signs.

Assess the patient’s pain level is incorrect. Although pain assessment is vital, the immediate focus should be on the neurological changes indicated by confusion and breath odor.

Review dietary restrictions is incorrect. While relevant to the patient's overall management, it does not address the acute symptoms being presented.

For the correct answer choice:
Bone density loss is correct. Extended immobility can lead to osteoporosis and decreased bone density due to a lack of weight-bearing activity.

For incorrect answer choices:
Improved respiratory function is incorrect. Immobility can lead to respiratory complications such as atelectasis and decreased lung function.

Enhanced digestive motility is incorrect. Prolonged immobility can slow down gastrointestinal motility, increasing the risk of constipation.

Increased joint mobility is incorrect. Immobility often results in joint stiffness and decreased mobility over time.

For the correct answer choice:
Assess the chest tube for kinks or blockage is correct. A sudden drop in chest drainage may indicate an obstruction in the chest tube, which could require immediate assessment.

For incorrect answer choices:
Encourage the client to increase oral fluid intake is incorrect. Increasing fluid intake does not resolve a sudden decrease in chest tube drainage output.

Document this finding as expected progress is incorrect. Such a sudden decrease in output may suggest a complication and should not be documented as normal without further investigation.

Reposition the client to improve drainage is incorrect. Although repositioning can sometimes assist with drainage, it is not the best first action when a blockage is suspected.

For the correct answer choice:
Light yellow is correct. This color signifies that the urine is adequately diluted, suggesting effective irrigation and minimal blood presence.

For incorrect answer choices:
Dark orange is incorrect. This may indicate concentrated urine or potential issues such as dehydration or insufficient irrigation.

Hemorrhagic is incorrect. This indicates excessive bleeding, which is a complication that needs to be addressed.

Cloudy is incorrect. Cloudy urine may indicate infection or the presence of sediment, which is undesirable in the context of CBI.

For the correct answer choice:
Slow and hesitant with reduced inflection is correct. Patients with Parkinson's disease often speak slowly and may have difficulty with inflection and expression.

For incorrect answer choices:

Fast-paced with fluctuations in volume is incorrect. Parkinson's disease typically results in slower speech patterns without dynamic changes in pace.

Clear and articulate with dynamic expression is incorrect. Patients may struggle to articulate words clearly due to motor impairments.

Soft and cheerful with varied intonation is incorrect. The speech often lacks the varied intonation and expressiveness found in healthy individuals.

For the correct answer choice:
“How many times has your baby fed in the last 24 hours?” is correct. This question directly relates to the infant’s hydration status and can help the nurse assess potential dehydration.

For incorrect answer choices:
“Has your baby been exposed to anyone who is sick?” is incorrect. While this is useful information, it does not address the infant's hydration or feeding issues.

“Is your baby teething at this time?” is incorrect. Teething may cause fussiness, but it does not specifically indicate hydration status.

“What type of formula or food is your baby currently eating?” is incorrect. While diet can be important, it does not provide immediate insight into the infant's hydration or feeding frequency.

For the correct answer choice:
Shortness of breath on exertion is correct. This symptom suggests that the patient's cardiovascular system is struggling to meet the increased demands during activity, indicating potential hemodynamic issues.

For incorrect answer choices:
Slightly elevated heart rate at rest is incorrect. This may not necessarily indicate instability and can be common in various conditions.

Absence of peripheral edema is incorrect. This does not suggest hemodynamic compromise; in fact, the absence of edema can indicate stability.

Blood pressure within normal limits is incorrect. Normal blood pressure does not imply hemodynamic problems; it suggests the opposite.

For the correct answer choice:
"I feel constantly tired, no matter how much I rest" is correct. Chronic fatigue could signal anemia or malabsorption issues post-gastrectomy, requiring further investigation.

For incorrect answer choices:
"I am eating smaller portions throughout the day to feel comfortable" is incorrect. Eating smaller, frequent meals is a typical recommendation post-gastrectomy.

"I avoid foods that are high in fat" is incorrect. Avoiding high-fat foods can help prevent digestive discomfort and is often suggested for post-gastrectomy clients.

"I drink liquids between meals instead of with meals" is incorrect. Separating liquids and solids during meals can aid in digestion and is beneficial after a gastrectomy.

For the correct answer choice:
Head of the pancreas, duodenum, and bile ducts is correct. The Whipple procedure includes the removal of the head of the pancreas, duodenum, and often involves the bile ducts.

For incorrect answer choices:
Entire pancreas and liver is incorrect. The entire pancreas is not removed during the Whipple procedure; only the head is affected.

Proximal small intestine and sigmoid colon is incorrect. The procedure does not involve the sigmoid colon or the proximal small intestine.

Ascending colon and appendix is incorrect. These structures are not part of the Whipple procedure.

For the correct answer choice:
Iron-deficiency anemia is correct. The lab results suggest anemia, which is common during pregnancy due to the increased iron requirements for fetal growth and development.

For incorrect answer choices:
Normal adaptation to pregnancy is incorrect. While fatigue can be common in pregnancy, the lab findings indicate a specific medical condition that requires intervention.

Increased caloric needs is incorrect. While nutritional needs increase in pregnancy, this alone does not account for the low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels.

Sleep deprivation is incorrect. Although sleep issues can lead to fatigue, the lab results clearly show an anemia diagnosis that needs to be addressed.

For the correct answer choice:
Sunken eyes is correct. Sunken eyes are a common physical sign of moderate dehydration in infants, indicating fluid loss.

For incorrect answer choices:

Elevated body temperature is incorrect. While an elevated temperature can occur with infection, it does not specifically indicate dehydration.

Increased appetite is incorrect. In moderate dehydration, an infant may not show increased appetite and could be less interested in feeding.

Normal heart rate is incorrect. A normal heart rate may not reflect the dehydration status, while tachycardia may be present in moderate dehydration.

For the correct answer choice:
The individual exhibits fluent speech with intact comprehension is correct. In global aphasia, individuals typically have significant deficits in both fluent speech production and comprehension.

For incorrect answer choices:
The person struggles with both expressive and receptive language skills is incorrect. This accurately describes global aphasia, where both areas are affected.

The client may produce nonsensical speech despite efforts to communicate is incorrect. This reflects a common symptom of global aphasia, where the speech produced may be incomprehensible.

The client has significant difficulty reading and writing is incorrect. Global aphasia involves severe impairments in both reading and writing abilities.

For the correct answer choice:
Fixed PR interval with occasional dropped QRS complexes is correct. Mobitz II features a stable PR interval with sudden drops of QRS complexes.

For incorrect answer choices:
Progressive PR interval lengthening before a dropped QRS complex is incorrect. This characteristic defines Mobitz I (Wenckebach) rather than Mobitz II.

Complete dissociation between P waves and QRS complexes is incorrect. This description pertains to third-degree AV block, not Mobitz II.

Consistently shortened PR intervals is incorrect. This does not represent any AV block pattern and is not seen in Mobitz II.
