A patient with bacterial pneumonia has rhonchi and thick sputum. Which action will
the nurse use to promote airway clearance?
Assist the patient to splint the chest when coughing.
Educate the patient about the need for fluid restrictions.
Encourage the patient to wear the nasal oxygen cannula.
Instruct the patient on the pursed lip breathing technique.
Give this one a try later!

Cephalosporins
Give this one a try later!
, Examples: cephalexin, cefazolin, ceftriaxone
-pregnancy and Breast feeding safe
-side effect: diarrhea
- can cause cdiff CANT TREAT IT
- don't mix with a cillin
The nurse is assessing the results of diagnostic tests on a client's cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF). Which values and observations do the nurse correlate as most indicative of
bacterial meningitis? (select all that apply.)
Clear
Cloudy
Normal protein level
Increased protein level
Normal glucose level
Decreased glucose level

Cloudy
Increased protein level
Decreased glucose level
Sulfonamides

, Example: timethoprim sulfamethoxazole
(BACTRIM)
-sun burn
-increased urine specific gravity
-drink 2-3 liters of water a day

The parents of a child being treated for otitis media inform the nurse that the child
feels sudden pain relief. Which information should the nurse provide?
"Sudden pain relief indicates that the tympanic membrane has ruptured"
"Sudden pain relief indicates that the antibiotic ear drops are effective"
"Sudden pain relief indicates that the child is not following activity restrictions"
"Sudden pain relief indicates that the infection is getting worse"
Give this one a try later!
"Sudden pain relief indicates that the tympanic membrane has ruptured"
Following the assessment of a patient with pneumonia, the nurse identifies a nursing
diagnosis of ineffective airway clearance. Which information best supports this
diagnosis?
Weak, nonproductive cough effort
Large amounts of greenish sputum
Respiratory rate of 28 breaths/minute
Resting pulse oximetry (SpO2) of 85%
