The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Risedronate (Actonel)
B. Alendronate (Fosamax)
C. Ibandronate (Boniva)
D. Raloxifene (Evista)
Evista should not be given to clients with liver disease because it can make the condition worse. Answers A, B, and C are not contraindicated in liver disease clients, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is True
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Placing the client in the prone position
B. Starting an IV with an 18-gauge needle
C. Obtaining a lipid profile
D. Assessing that the client empties the bladder
The bladder should be empty for a paracentesis procedure to prevent incidental puncturing. Answer A is incorrect because the client sits upright for the procedure and prone places the client on the abdomen. Answers B and C are not necessary interventions for a paracentesis, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. One to two weeks after surgery
B. Four to six weeks after surgery
C. Six months after surgery
D. One year after surgery
The final best vision will not be present until four to six weeks following cataract removal. Answer A is incorrect because sufficient healing has not taken place. Answers C and D are incorrect because the best vision is present four to six weeks after surger
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Phosphorus 2.5 mEq/L
B. Potassium 1.8 mEq/L
C. Calcium 9.4 mg/dl
D. Magnesium 2.4 mEq/L
The client taking furosemide is at risk for developing hypokalemia (decreased potassium) because this drug is a non–potassium-sparing diuretic. A potassium level of 1.8 is extremely low and might result in cardiac dysrhythmias. Answers A, C, and D are incorrect because the levels noted in the question are within normal levels.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Adolescent males
B. Preteen males
C. Preteen females
D. Adolescent females
The most likely group to have scoliosis is adolescent girls. The groups in Answers A, B, and C are not as likely to have scoliosis; therefore, those answers are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Warming the intravenous fluids
B. Determining whether the client can take oral fluids
C. Checking for the strength of pedal pulses
D. Obtaining the specific gravity of the urine
Warming the intravenous fluid helps to prevent further stress on the vascular system. Thirst is a sign of hypovolemia; however, oral fluids alone will not meet the fluid needs of the client in hypovolemic shock, so answer B is incorrect. Answers C and D are wrong because they can be used for baseline information but will not help stabilize the client.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. A schizophrenic client having visual and auditory hallucinations and the client with ulcerative colitis
B. The client who is six months pregnant with abdominal pain and the client with facial lacerations and a broken arm
C. A child whose pupils are fixed and dilated and his parents and a client with a frontal head injury
D. The client who arrives with a large puncture wound to the abdomen and the client with chest pain
Out of all these clients, it is best to hold the pregnant client and the client with a broken arm and facial lacerations in the same room. The other clients need to be placed in separate rooms, so answers A, C, and D are 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 B
A. The RN with 2 weeks experience in postpartum
B. The RN with 3 years experience in labor and delivery
C. The RN with 10 years experience in surgery
D. The RN with 1 year experience in the neonatal intensive care unit
The nurse in answer B has the most experience in knowing the possible complications involved with preeclampsia. The nurse in answer A is a new nurse to this unit, so the answer is incorrect. The nurse in answer C has no experience with the postpartum client, so the answer is incorrect. The nurse in answer D also has no experience with postpartum clients, so the answer is incorrect.
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. Two hour post-prandial
B. Dextrostix
C. Glucose tolerance test
D. Hemoglobin A-1C
The most indicative test of diabetes is the glucose tolerance test. Answers A and B are used to detect an elevated blood glucose level, but are not the best to detect diabetes. Answer D is incorrect because this test detects compliance.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Begin an IV of normal saline at keep-open rate
B. Continue the magnesium sulfate as ordered
C. Contact the doctor immediately
D. Prepare for an emergency delivery
The therapeutic range for magnesium sulfate is 4.0–9.6 meq/L; therefore, with a magnesium level of 6.3meq/L, the nurse should continue the infusion. Answers A, C, and D indicate that the nurse believes the level to be toxic. This is an incorrect conclusion, making these answers incorrect.
The Correct Answer is True
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Constriction of blood flow
B. Immobilization of the joint
C. Formation of a decubitus ulcer
D. Oozing of blood from the wound
Wrapping an elastic bandage on a stump using the circular technique can cause the wrap to act as a tourniquet and restrict blood flow, so a figure eight technique is utilized to prevent this from occurring. Answers B, C, and D are not the primary reasons for use of the figure eight technique, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Telling the child how important it is to drink fluids
B. Telling the child how important it is to drink fluids
C. Providing soup on the lunch and dinner meals
D. Offering flavored ice pops or iced Slurpees
A child will likely accept the fluids in this answer better than the others listed. The child is too young to understand the statement in answer A, so it is inappropriate. Answers B and C are good sources of fluids but would not be best or acceptable for a 3-year-old, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Instruct the client to perform the Valsalva maneuver
B. Elevate the tubing above the client’s chest level
C. Decrease the amount of suction being applied
D. Form a water seal and obtain a new connector
The nurse should form a water seal, remove the contaminated end, and insert a new sterile connector. The Valsalva maneuver is used when the chest tube is being removed, therefore Answer A is incorrect. Answer B is incorrect because the chest drainage system is maintained below the client’s chest level. Answer C is incorrect because the nurse cannot alter the amount of suction being applied without a doctor’s order.
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 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.
