Demo Quiz
Welcome to the Demo Quiz! Below, you will find numerous sample questions. This demo quiz is set up with questions and the question's answer with Answer reason.
The Correct Answer is Option B
Volume of water to add (mL) = total volume of formula on hand (mL) – total volume of formula on hand (mL)
Diluted strength
mL water = (300mL / 2/3) – 300mL = (300mL x 3) / (1x2) – 300mL = 450mL – 300mL = 150mL
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Breath sounds
B. Deep tendon reflexes
C. Blood pressure
D. Bowel sounds
The patient is exhibiting symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia. The hypertension can be severe and requires treatment; therefore, this assessment is essential. The assessments in Answers A, B, and D might all be done, but C is the priority, so the others are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is True
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Wheezing respirations
B. “Cherry red” skin
C. Gastric ulceration
D. “Burgundy” colored urine
The vasodilating action of carbon monoxide causes the client’s skin to become “cherry red” in color. Answer A refers to inhalation injury, not carbon monoxide poisoning; therefore, it is incorrect. Answer C is incorrect because it refers to Curling’s ulcer, which sometimes occurs as a result of major burn injury. Answer D is associated with myoglobinuria, not carbon monoxide poisoning; therefore, it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Elevate the extremity on a pillow
B. Administer pain medication
C. Administer pain medication
D. Perform a neurovascular reassessment
The physician must be notified because the client is at risk for compartment syndrome. The healthcare provider might order that the cast be bivalved, or a fasciotomy might be required. Answers A, B, and D will not take the action necessary to prevent the complication of compartment syndrome.
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. Bowel sound auscultation
B. Pupillary response to light
C. Assessing for hematuria
D. Cranial nerve 8 assessment
The pelvis is close to major organs and the nurse needs to assess for damage to associated organs. The bladder could have been damaged and hematuria assessment would be a priority. Answers A, B, and D are important assessments, but are not the priority, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Continue the collection as ordered by the physician
B. Discard the collected urine, obtain a new bottle, and begin the collection again
C. Record the information in the client’s chart and continue the collection
D. Extend the collection time to replace the last voiding
Failure to collect all urine voided in the 24-hour period invalidates specimen results; therefore, the nurse should obtain a new collection bottle, discard the collected urine, and begin the collection again. Answers A, C, and D are incorrect because they are improper ways of obtaining a 24-hour urine specimen.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Return to the clinic in six weeks for a urinalysis
B. Avoid exercise for at least six weeks
C. Do not become pregnant for at least 12 months
D. Return to the clinic in six months for liver enzyme studies
The client that has experienced a hydatidiform mole should avoid becoming pregnant again for one year because chorionic carcinoma is associated with a hydatidiform mole. If the client does become pregnant and there are cells for chorionic carcinoma, the hormonal stimulation can cause rapid cell proliferation and growth of the cancer. Answer A is incorrect because a urinalysis in six weeks is not necessary. Answer B is incorrect because exercise is not contraindicated after a hydatidiform mole. Answer D is incorrect because checking liver enzymes in six months is not necessary after a hydatidiform mole.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. An internal fetal heart monitor
B. An IV rate controller
C. A blood administration set
D. A wall suction device
An IV rate controller must be obtained in order to safely administer magnesium sulfate. If magnesium sulfate is administered too quickly, toxicity can result, leading to respiratory arrest. Answer A is incorrect because there is no need to insert an internal fetal monitor. If magnesium sulfate is administered to the pregnant client, an external fetal monitor is sufficient. Answer C is incorrect because a standard IV administration set is used. Answer D is incorrect because there is no specific need for wall suction to be available with the administration of magnesium sulfate.
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. Severe headache
B. Slight nausea
C. Decreased urination
D. Itching
A severe headache can indicate impending seizure activity. Slight nausea is expected when beginning the therapy, so answer B is incorrect. A client with renal failure already has itching and decreased urination, so answers C and D 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 A
A. Chloride level
B. Potassium transport
C. Serum sodium
D. Calcium level
A positive sweat test is reflected by elevations in the chloride level. Answers B, C, and D are not measured by the sweat test; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
The thyroid is located anterior to the trachea; therefore, laryngeal stridor and airway obstruction is a risk following a thyroidectomy. Answer A is incorrect because this action is not necessary. The need for extra blankets is associated with hypothyroidism, but is not directly associated with thyroid surgery. Answer C is incorrect because the client can talk. Answer D is incorrect because pain medication should be offered as needed, not every four hours.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Hyperthyroidism
B. Hypothyroidism
C. Hypoparathyroidism
D. Hyperparathoidism
Answer B is correct because in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, antibodies against thyroid hormone are produced, which leads to a decrease in thyroid hormone release. For this reason answers A, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Vaccination with a live virus
B. Weakened immune system
C. Inoculation with BCG vaccine
D. Poor testing technique
Inoculation with BCG vaccine will produce a false positive TB skin test. Vaccination with a live virus, weakened immune system, and poor testing technique are factors that can produce a false negative TB skin test, therefore Answers A, B, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
Change 1 g to milligrams, knowing that 1000 mg =1 g.
Also, when converting from grams to milligrams (larger to smaller), move the decimal point three places to the right: 1 g = 1000 mg.
Next, use the formula for calculating the correct dose.
Formula: Desired / Available x Tablet = 1000 mg / 500 mg = 2 tablets
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Constipation
B. White blood cell count of 14,000
C. Amylase of 460
D. Potassium of 3.1 mEq/L
Amylase and lipase are reliable tests used for pancreatitis diagnosis. The answers in A, B, and D are not directly related to the pancreas and not diagnostic, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A.The client identifies two personal behaviors that alienate others.
B.The client attends and participates in morning goal-setting activities.
C.The client eats in the cafeteria with other clients from the unit.
D.The client identifies one or two positive self-attributes.
An increase in the client’s self-esteem is evidenced by the fact that he/she can recognize positive self attributes. Answers A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect an increase in self-esteem.
