The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Excitability
B. Tremors
C. Heart rate 150
D. Nausea
Adverse effects of epinephrine include hypertension and tachycardia. Answers A, B, and D are expected side effects of racemic epinephrine.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Sliced turkey on white bread
B. Beef broth
C. Spinach salad
D. Froot Loops cereal with milk
Spinach has a larger amount of fiber than any of the other choices listed. The answers in A, B, and D have minimal fiber content, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Autograft
B. Isograft
C. Allograft
D. Xenograft
Xenografts are taken from animal sources. Answers A, B, and C are incorrect because they originate from human donors.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. CSF protein elevation with a normal cell count
B. WBC count of 2800 mm
C. Abnormal liver function test
D. Abnormal electromyographic (EMG) studies
This is the most definitive diagnostic result. The client would experience an elevated white blood cell count, which makes Answer B incorrect. Answers C and D can occur with many diagnoses, so they are not specific for Guillain-Barrè and are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Amenorrhea
B. Headache
C. Blurred vision
D. Weight loss
Prolactinoma tumors are tumors arising from hyperplasia of the pituitary gland that are prolactin hormone–based. Amenorrhea and anovulation are associated with prolactinomas because the pituitary gland assists with stimulation of the ovaries and ovulation, so answer A is correct. Because the pituitary is located in the center of the skull, adjacent to the brain, answers B and C are associated with increased intracranial pressure. Answer D is incorrect because weight gain can occur, not weight loss.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Walk one to two steps ahead with the client’s hand on the nurse’s elbow
B. Walk beside the client while holding her hand.
C. Walk one to two steps behind with the nurse’s hand on the client’s elbow.
D. Walk beside the client without touching her.
When ambulating the client who is blind, the nurse should allow the client to grasp his arm at the elbow. The nurse’s arm should be kept close to the body so that the client can detect the nurse’s direction or movement. Answers B, C, and D are improper ways of ambulating the client who is blind; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Have one of the client’s family members interpret.
B. Have the Spanish-speaking triage receptionist interpret.
C. Page an interpreter from the hospital’s interpreter services.
D. Obtain a Spanish-English dictionary and attempt to triage the client.
The best action is to have a professional hospital-based interpreter translate for the client. English-speaking family members may not appropriately understand what is asked of them and may paraphrase what the client is actually saying. Also, client confidentiality, as well as accurate information, may be compromised when a family member or a non–health care provider acts as an interpreter.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Administering a local anesthetic
B. Checking for an allergic response
C. Administering an anxiolytic
D. Withholding fluids for 6–8 hours
The nurse should perform the skin or eye test before administering antivenin. Answers A and D are unnecessary and therefore incorrect. Answer C would help calm the client but is not a priority before giving the antivenin, making it incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
Volume of water to add (mL) = total volume of formula on hand (mL) – total volume of formula on hand (mL)
Diluted strength
mL water = (480mL / ½) – 480mL = (480mL x 2) – 480mL = 960mL – 480mL = 480mL
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Rebound tenderness
B. Rovsing’s sign
C. Turner’s sign
D. Ascites
Rebound tenderness indicates peritoneal irritation. The client experiences increased pain when the examiner releases pressure in a positive result of this assessment technique. Answers B and C are exhibited by other assessment measures, so they are incorrect. Answer D is a condition of excessive peritoneal fluid in the abdominal cavity associated with liver disorders.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Urinary output
B. Respirations
C. Temperature
D. Verbal responsiveness
Answer B is correct. Barbiturate overdose results in central nervous system depression, which leads to respiratory failure. Answers A and C are important to the client’s overall condition but are not specific to the question, so they are incorrect. The use of barbiturates results in slow, slurred speech, so answer D is expected, and therefore incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Clamp the tubing for 15 minutes every hour
B. Irrigate the tubing with normal saline to remove clots
C. Avoid clamping or kinking the tubing
D. Suspend the tubing above the level of the abdomen
The nurse should avoid clamping or kinking the nephrostomy because urine would be retained in the kidney. Answer A is incorrect because the tubing should not be clamped. Answer B is incorrect because the tubing should not be irrigated because it would damage the renal tissue. Answer D is incorrect because suspending the tubing would cause urine to be retained in the kidney.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Pheochromocytoma
B. Intermittent claudication
C. Kawasaki disease
D. Thromboangiitis obliterans
The other name for Buerger’s disease is thromboangiitis obliterans. Answer A is incorrect because pheochromocytoma is an adrenal tumor. Answer B is incorrect because intermittent claudication is pain in an extremity when walking. Answer C is incorrect because Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis that can result in an aneurysm in the thoracic area.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Increase her intake of milk and dairy products.
B. Avoid taking bubble baths
C. Use underwear made from nylon
D. Drink orange juice for breakfast
The nurse should tell the client to avoid tub baths as well as bubble baths. The client should be instructed to wear cotton underwear and to avoid tight-fitting clothing such as jeans. Answers A, C, and D do not decrease the incidence of cystitis; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Metabolic acidosis
B. Metabolic alkalosis
C. Respiratory acidosis
D. Respiratory alkalosis
When assessing arterial blood gases, the nurse should look at the pH. In this case, the pH is low. After assessing the pH, the nurse should look at the PaCO2. In this case, the PaCO2 is elevated. Finally, look at the HCO3. In this question, the HCO3 is elevated. Answers A, B, and D are incorrect findings because they are not consistent with the lab values given in the question.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Urinary output
B. Respirations
C. Temperature
D. Verbal responsiveness
Barbiturate overdose results in central nervous system depression, which leads to respiratory failure. Answers A and C are important to the client’s overall condition but are not specific to the question, so they are incorrect. The use of barbiturates results in slow, slurred speech, so answer D is expected, and therefore incorrect
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Prolactin
B. Human chorionic gonadotropin
C. Lecithin-sphingomyelin
D. Estriol
HCG levels elevate rapidly and can be detected as early as two days after the missed period. Answer A is incorrect because prolactin is elevated with a prolactinoma, a type of pituitary tumor. Answer C is incorrect because lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S ratio) is indicative of lung maturity. Answer D is incorrect because estriol levels indicate fetal well-being.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Amoxil (amoxicillin)
B. K-Dur (potassium)
C. B12 (cyanocobalamine)
D. Tegretol (carbamazepine)
Tegretol (carbamazepine) is ototoxic. Answers A, B, and C do not pose a risk of ototoxicity; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Kayexalate (sodium polystyrene sulfonate)
B. K-Dur (potassium chloride)
C. Cephulac (lactulose)
D. PhosLo (calcium acetate)
Kayexalate (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) is administered to lower potassium levels in the client with hyperkalemia. K-Dur is used for the client with hypokalemia; therefore, answer B is incorrect. Lactulose is used to lower ammonia levels in the client with liver disease; therefore, answer C is incorrect. PhosLo is used to lower phosphorus levels in the client with renal disease; therefore, Answer D is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Celestone
B. Dopamine
C. Serotonin
D. Anti-diuretic hormone
The neurotransmitter dopamine is missing in clients with Parkinson’s disease. Most of the treatment involves replacement of this drug. Answer A is a steroid. Answer C is a neurotransmitter not missing in Parkinson’s disease, and Answer D is secreted by the pituitary gland not related to the stated diagnosis; therefore Answers A, C, and D are incorrect.
