This test is measured as described and can result in pain and a tingling sensation if the client has carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Answer A is incorrect because it is a test in which the client is asked to place the back of the hands together and flex the wrist at the same time causing pain. Answers C and D are exams not related to CTS, so they are incorrect.

B. Ice to painful joints
C. Start O2 at 3 L/min
D. Ambulate in hall every 2 hours
It is not unusual for patients to receive oxygen to prevent additional sickling of cells. The answers in A and B are incorrect because these are contraindicated in sickle cell anemia. Answer D is not recommended for patients in sickle cell crisis, so it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Contractions every 5–6 minutes lasting 60 seconds
B. Variability of 6–8 beats per minute
C. Drops in fetal heart tones after contractions lasting 90 seconds with hesitant return to baseline
D. Drops in fetal heart tones prior to the contractions during pushing
This describes a late deceleration. These decelerations are caused by uteroplacental insufficiency and require intervention by the nurse. The treatment is STOP (Stop Pitocin if infusing; Turn the client to her side; begin Oxygen therapy; Prepare for delivery). Increasing IV fluids helps to increase blood to the uterus. Answer A is within normal limits. Answer B is also within normal limits. Answer D is incorrect because a drop in fetal heart tones prior to the contraction describes an early deceleration caused by head compression. This is expected during pushing.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Polydipsia and bradycardia
B. Euphoria and polyuria
C. Muscle weakness and irritability
D. Ringing in the ears and blurred vision
Other symptoms of SIADH include loss of thirst, tachycardia, hostility, and decreased urinary output. This makes Answers A and B incorrect. The answer in D is not associated with SIADH, so it is incorrect.

A. Kernig’s sign
B. Brown-Sequard’s syndrome
C. Brudsinski’s sign
D. Doll’s eye reflex
A positive result would be indicated by pain in the hamstring when the actions in the stem are done. Answers B and D do not relate to meningitis. Brudsinski’s sign, Answer C, is elicited by attempting to flex the patients’ head causing severe pain if positive, so this is incorrect. Both Kernig’s and Brudsinski’s signs are indications of meningeal irritation found in meningitis.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Reduces spasticity
B. Skeletal muscle relaxation
C. Immune suppression
D. Prevents viral infections
The drug Baclofen (Lioresal) might also improve bowel and bladder function. Answers B, C, and D do not refer to the drug Lioresal, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A

The Correct Answer is Option B
A. TSH levels (thyroid-stimulating hormone levels)
B. AST levels (aspartate aminotransferase levels)
C. HCG levels (human gonaditropin levels)
D. LDH levels (lactic dehyrogenase levels)
Liver enzymes such as AST should be assessed along with renal function (creatinine levels) and cardiac function. Answer A is not correct because this medication does not alter thyroid function. Answer C is not correct because HCG levels are not affected by rosiglitazone (Avandia). This hormone is associated with pregnancy. Answer D is incorrect because an elevated LDH is associated with muscle trauma. It is, however, elevated in a myocardial infarction.

A. Begin an IV of normal saline at keep-open rate

B. Ultrasonography
C. Noncontrast helical computerized tomography
D. X-ray of the kidneys, ureter, and bladder
Noncontrast helical computerized tomography is the most sensitive means for diagnosing renal calculi. Magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and x-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder are not as sensitive; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect.
