The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Share hats and caps
B. Wear training pants
C. Engage in imitative play
D. Have hand-to-mouth contact
Enterobiasis is most common in young children because of frequent hand-to-mouth contact. Answer A is incorrect because sharing hats and caps contributes to the spread of pediculosis capitis. Wearing training pants and playing with imitative toys is not associated with enterobiasis; therefore, Answers B and C are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. The nurse offers extra blankets.
B. The nurse places a tracheostomy tube at the bedside.
C. The nurse insists that the client refrain from talking.
D. The nurse administers pain medication every four hours.
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 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

B. Go to the nursing station and call the neurosurgeon immediately.
C. Lower the head of the bed and add more weight to the traction.

The priority concern is patient safety and prevention of damage to the spinal cord. Answers B, C, and D are not appropriate actions by the nurse, so they are incorrect.
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 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 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. Schedule frequent eye exams
B. Expect red discoloration of his urine
C. Increase his fluid intake
D. Expect dizziness and ringing in his ears
The use of pyrazinamide can result in gout-like symptoms; therefore, the client should increase his fluid intake. Answers A, B, and D are incorrect because they are associated with other antitubercular medications.

The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Place a tourniquet proximal to the laceration
B. Elevate the leg above the level of the heart
C. Cover the laceration and apply an ice compress
D. Apply pressure to the femoral artery
If bleeding does not subside with direct pressure, the nurse should elevate the extremity above the level of the heart. Answers A and D are done only if other measures are ineffective, so they are incorrect. Answer C would slow the bleeding, but will not stop it, so it’s 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 B
A. Presence of serum albumin in the interstitial space
B. Increased capillary permeability
C. Erratic drainage of the lymphatic system
D. Altered osmotic pressure in the blood vessels
Hypovolemic shock is the result of increased capillary permeability that leads to third spacing or capillary leak syndrome. The loss of plasma fluids and proteins decreases blood volume and blood pressure. Answers A, C, and D do not relate to hypovolemic shock; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Cover the cord with dry, sterile gauze
B. Place the client in high Fowler’s position
C. Push up on the presenting part with an examining finger
D. Begin an IV of normal saline at keep-open rate
The nurse should push on the presenting part to relieve pressure on the cord and facilitate blood flow through the cord. Answer A is incorrect because the sterile gauze should be moist, not dry. Answer B is incorrect because the client should be placed in Trendelenburg position, not high Fowler’s position. Answer D is incorrect because the IV fluid should be rapid, not keep-open rate, to increase hydration and blood flow to the fetus.
The Correct Answer is Option A
Total Volume / Time x Drip Factor = 1000 mL / 24 hours x 15drops/mL = 625 drops/hour
625drops/hour x 1hour/60minutes = 10.4166667 = 10 drops/minute (rounded off to a whole number)
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 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 A
A. Potassium level of 2.5
B. Sodium level of 140
C. Glucose level of 110
D. Calcium level of 8
Furosemide (Lasix) is a loop diuretic. Note that most of the loop diuretics end in ide. In answers B, C, and D, the findings are all within normal limits.
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 A
Clients with GERD should eat four to six small meals per day to prevent reflux rather than three large meals. Answers B, C, and D are recommendations for health promotion tactics to control reflux. Other aspects include no snacking in the evening; no food two to three hours before bedtime; elevating the head of the bed at night; avoiding heavy lifting and straining; and limiting fatty, spicy foods, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, and colas.
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
