2. A well-rounded fitness program focuses on flexibility, resistance training and aerobic conditioning. What statements are true about a well-rounded fitness program? (Select all that apply)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Resistance training, proper stretching, and exercise duration/intensity contribute to a well-rounded fitness program.

3. The goal for a client with impaired mobility is to prevent atelectasis. What nursing intervention would best help the client meet this goal?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Assisting the client to the orthopneic position is the best nursing intervention to help prevent atelectasis. This position improves lung expansion by allowing the chest to expand fully, aiding in the prevention of atelectasis. Offering a protein-rich diet (choice B) is important for overall nutrition but does not directly address preventing atelectasis. Offering a bedpan for toileting (choice C) and turning the client every 4 hours (choice D) are important for preventing pressure ulcers in immobile clients but do not directly prevent atelectasis.

4. What health teaching would not help an older adult avoid a musculoskeletal injury?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Avoiding home modifications can increase the risk of falls and injuries in older adults.

5. A client with a diagnosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus develops pneumonia. What type of infection is this?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: An opportunistic infection. In patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), infections like pneumonia are considered opportunistic because they take advantage of a weakened immune system. Option B, root cause infection, is incorrect as it does not describe the nature of the infection in relation to the patient's condition. Option C, pathogenic infection, is incorrect because while pneumonia is caused by pathogens, in the context of HIV, it is specifically termed as an opportunistic infection. Option D, nosocomial infection, is also incorrect as it refers to infections acquired in a healthcare setting, not related to the patient's HIV status.
