The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Ancef (cefazolin sodium)
B. Cipro (ciprofloxacin)
C. Kantrex (kanamycin)
D. Garamycin (gentamicin)
Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is the drug of choice for treating anthrax. Answers A, C, and D are not used to treat anthrax, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. “Guillain-Barrè does not affect cognitive function.”
B. “Don’t worry about school at this time.”
C. “I will ask your doctor for you.”
D. “You should get in touch with your school because you will not be able to handle the stress of trying to learn.”
Cognitive function is not affected by Guillain-Barrè. The answers in B, C, and D offer no reply to the stated question and are inappropriate communication techniques, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Allow the manipulation because it will allow the client a sense of control
B. Appeal to the client’s sense of reason to maintain a therapeutic milieu
C. Realize that the client will not need to manipulate after a sense of trust is established
D. Recognize that the client’s anxiety will increase when manipulations are unsuccessful
The client with a personality disorder will experience increasing anxiety as manipulative behaviors fail. The staff should approach the client professionally, rather than friendly, and should set firm limits on the client’s behavior; therefore, Answers A, B, and C are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. “I can soak the ear mold in mild soap and water to clean it.”
B. “I will need to keep an extra supply of batteries on hand.”
C. “I need to adjust the volume to the lowest setting that permits hearing.”
D. “I can use a toothpick to clean debris from the hole of the hearing aid.”
The client should avoid excessive wetting of the ear mold; therefore, the client needs further teaching. Answers B, C, and D indicate that the client understands the nurse’s teaching, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Assess for allergy to iodine
B. Check pulses proximal to the site
C. Assess the urinary output
D. Check to ensure that the client has a consent form signed
The dye used in the procedure can cause a decrease in renal function. The client’s renal function should be assessed and changes reported to the doctor immediately. Answer A is incorrect because the client’s allergies should be checked prior to the procedure, not after the procedure. The femoral artery is commonly used as the site for a catheterization. Answer B is incorrect because the pulses should be checked distal to the site. Answer D is incorrect because the permit should be signed prior to the procedure.
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 A
A. Develop an elevated digitalis level
B. Have a decrease in the digitalis levels
C. Have alterations in sodium levels
D. Develop tachycardia
The client taking digitalis should avoid constipation because constipation can lead to digitalis toxicity. Answer B is incorrect because constipation will not lead to a decrease in the digitalis levels. Answer C is incorrect because constipation does not result in alterations in the sodium level. Answer D is incorrect because digitalis toxicity will result in brachycardia, not tachycardia.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Private room or cohort client
B. Personal respiratory protection device
C. Private room with negative airflow pressure
D. Mask worn by staff when the client needs to leave the room
Meningitis is transmitted by droplet infection. Precautions for this disease include a private room or cohort client and use of a standard precaution mask. Private negative airflow pressure rooms and personal respiratory protection devices are required for clients with airborne disease such as tuberculosis. When appropriate, a mask must be worn by the client and not the staff when the client leaves the room.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Control HCO3 levels
B. Retain or blow off CO2
C. Regulate potassium levels
D. Maintain sodium levels
The lungs assist in the control of acid/base balance by regulating the amount of CO2 that is retained or exhaled. The lungs are not in control of HCO3, potassium, or sodium; therefore, Answers A, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Numbness on the side of the face
B. Yellow sclera
C. Bleeding gums
D. Constipation
The fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K. A deficiency in vitamin K results in ineffective prothrombin, which can cause bleeding and bruising. The answers in A and D have no relationship to gallstones, so they are incorrect. Answer B occurs with blockage and backup of bile, so it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Day hall supervision
B. Constant supervision
C. Checks every 15 minutes
D. One-on-one night supervision
The client admitted with suicidal thoughts or suicidal gestures is best cared for by constant supervision. Answers A, C, and D do not provide for continual observations to ensure the client’s safety; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. A headache
B. Shortness of breath only during sleep
C. Lower back pain
D. Difficulty voiding
Clients with abdominal aortic aneurysms often complain of nausea, lower back pain, and feeling their heart beat in the abdomen. Answer A is incorrect because a headache is a symptom of a cerebral aneurysm. Answer B is incorrect because, although the client with an abdominal aneurysm might have shortness of breath, this symptom is not particular to during sleep. Answer D is incorrect because difficulty voiding is not associated with an abdominal aneurysm.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Third
B. Fifth
C. Seventh
D. Ninth
Damage to the seventh cranial nerve (facial nerve) might occur during a stapedectomy. Changes in facial sensation should be reported to the doctor. Stapedectomy complications do not include damage to the third, fifth, or ninth cranial nerves; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Lying on a firm surface that does not distribute weight
B. Resting in a semi-sitting position that allows gradual downward movement
C. Rubbing or irritating the skin so that epithelial cells are removed
D. Compression of blood vessels that leads to ischemia, inflammation, and tissue necrosis
Shear or shearing forces occur whenever the skin is stationary while tissues below the skin are able to shift or move. Answers A and D are incorrect because they describe the physical force of pressure. Answer C refers to friction; therefore, it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. A defect in the cochlea
B. A defect in cranial nerve VIII
C. A physical obstruction to the transmission of sound waves
D. A defect in the sensory fibers that lead to the cerebral cortex
A conductive hearing loss occurs as a result of a physical obstruction to the transmission of sound waves. A sensorineural hearing loss occurs as a result of a pathological process in the inner ear, a defect in cranial nerve VIII, or a defect of the sensory fibers that lead to the cerebral cortex.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Chocolate milk
B. Grapefruit juice
C. Orange juice
D. Milk
Sandimmune oral solution should not be mixed with grapefruit juice. Answers A, C, and D are all suitable beverages for mixing with the medication; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Vancomycin (Vancocin) IV
B. Ampicillin (Omnipen) PO
C. Ceftriazone (Rocephin) IM
D. Cefotaxime sodium (Claforan)
Vancomycin IV would be the antibiotic of choice for resistant strands of meningitis. The client would need the medication to work quickly, making Answers B and C incorrect. Answer D is an antibiotic used for meningitis, but would not be the one of choice for resistant strains of meningitis, so it is wrong.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Gemcitabine (Gemzar)
B. Gefitinib (Iressa)
C. Cabergoline (Dostinex)
D. Ganciclovir (Cytovene)
Dostinex is used to shrink the prolactin-based tumor. Answers A and B are antineoplastic drugs. Answer D is an antiviral medication.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Continue to monitor the vital signs
B. Contact the physician
C. Ask the client how he feels
D. Ask the LPN to continue the postop care
The vital signs are abnormal and should be reported immediately. Continuing to monitor the vital signs can result in deterioration of the client’s condition, so answer A is incorrect. Asking the client how he feels would supply only subjective data, so answer C is incorrect. The LPN is not the best nurse to be assigned to this client because he is unstable, so answer D is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. The 78-year-old who had a gastrectomy three weeks ago with a PEG tube
B. The 5-month-old discharged one week ago with pneumonia who is being treated with amoxicillin liquid suspension
C. The 50-year-old with MRSA being treated with vancomycin via a PICC line
D. The 30-year-old with an exacerbation of multiple sclerosis being treated with cortisone via a centrally placed venous catheter
The client who should receive priority is the client with multiple sclerosis being treated with cortisone via the central line because this client is at the highest risk for complications. The clients described in answers A and B are stable at the time of the assigned visit. They can be seen later. The client in C has methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Vancomycin is the drug of choice and can be administered later, but it must be scheduled at specific times of the day to maintain a therapeutic level, so answer C is incorrect.
