nurse plans to emotionally support the client by telling the client that:
a. This is similar to a stroke, but all symptoms will reverse without treatment
b. This is not a stroke and many clients recover in 3-5 weeks
This caused by a small tumor, which can be easily c. removed
d. This is a temporary problem, with treatment similar to that for migraine headaches - ✔✔b. This is
not a stroke and many clients recover in 3-5 weeks
- Clts w/ Bell's palsy should be reassured that they have not experience a stroke & that sx often
disappear spontaneously 3-5 weeks.
- This clt is given supportive tx for sx
- Not usually caused by a tumor, & the tx is not similar to that for migraine HA
Following a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, the patient is tired and sleepy. The nurse should
a. Suction the patient before allowing him to rest
b. Allow the patient to sleep as long as he feels sleepy
c. Stimulate the patient to increase his level of consciousness
d. Check the patients level of consciousness every 15 minutes for an hour - ✔✔b. Allow the patient to
sleep as long as he feels sleepy
- In the postictal phase of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, patients are usually very tired and may sleep
for several hours and the nurse should allow the patient to sleep as long as needed.
The most important technique for diagnosing headaches is______________
a. Cerebral blood flow studies
b. CT scan
c. A thorough history of the headaches
d. EMG - ✔✔c. A thorough history of the headaches
,A nurse is planning care for a client with a neurogenic bladder due to MS. Which of the following plans
for fluid administration of at least 2000mL/day would be most helpful to this client?
a. 400-500mL with each meal, additional fluids in the morning but not after mid-day
b. 400-500mL with each meal, 500-600mL in the evening prior to bedtime
c. 400-500mL with each meal, 200-250mL at midmorning, midafternoon, and late afternoon
d. 400-500mL with each meal, with all extra fluid concentrated in the afternoon and evening - ✔✔c.
400 to 500 mL with each meal and 200 to 250 mL at midmorning, midafternoon, and late afternoon
- Spacing fluid intake over the day helps the client with a neurogenic bladder to establish regular times
for successful voiding. Omitting intake after the evening meal minimizes incontinence or the need to
empty the bladder during the night.
A nurse has given instructions to a client with Parkinson's disease about maintaining mobility. The would
evaluate that the client understood the directions if the client states he or she should:
a. Exercise in the evening to combat fatigue
b. Rock back and forth to start movement with bradykinesia
c. Sit in soft, deep chairs
d. Buy clothes with many buttons to maintain finger dexterity - ✔✔b. Rock back and forth to start
movement with bradykinesia
- Clt w/ Parkinson's disease should exercise in the morning when energy lvls are highest.
- Clt should avoid sitting in soft, deep, chairs, bc they are difficult to get up from
- Clt can rock back & forth to initiate movement.
- Clt should buy clothes w/ Velcro fasteners & slide-locking buckles to support the ability to dress
A client with myasthenia gravis has nursing diagnosis of "Risk for Ineffective Airway Clearance and Risk
for Ineffective Breathing Pattern. The nurse would keep which of the following available at the client's
bedside?
a. Incentive spirometer and cough pillow
b. Oxygen and metered dose inhaler
c. Pulse oximeter and a cardiac monitor
d. Ambu bag and suction equipment - ✔✔d. Ambu bag and suction equipment
- Clt w/ MG may experience episodes of respiratory distress if excessively fatigued, or if the clt develops
myasthenic crisis or cholinergic crisis. For this reason, an ambu bag, intubation tray & suction equipment
should be available at the bedside
When obtaining a health history and physical assessment for a patient with possible multiple sclerosis
(MS), the nurse should
a. assess for the presence of chest pain.
b. inquire about any urinary tract problems.
c. inspect the skin for rashes or discoloration.
d. question the patient about any increase in libido. - ✔✔b. inquire about any urinary tract problems.
In observing a client with a suspected diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease the nurse would expect the
following clinical manifestations
a. Flaccidity, bradykinesia, visual disturbances
, b. Patchy blindness, ptosis, tremors
c. Tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia
d. Ataxia, restless legs, cogwheeling - ✔✔c. Tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia
The nurse determines that teaching about the management of osteoarthritis of the feet and hands has
been effective when the patient says,
a. "I will be careful to avoid crowds and people with infections."
b. "I can use heat to relieve the stiffness when I wake up in the morning."
c. "I should exercise my hands every day, especially if they are painful and inflamed."
d. "I should avoid the use of glucosamine as it has been shown to have no therapeutic value." - ✔✔b. "I
can use heat to relieve the stiffness when I wake up in the morning."
Effective management of osteoarthritis includes the following: heat therapy stiffness, including hot
packs, whirlpool baths, ultrasound, and paraffin wax baths during any periods of acute inflammation &
maintained in a functional position w/ splints or braces if necessary; cortisone injections have a local
effect, & the pt will not develop immunosuppression; nutritional supplements such as glucosamine &
chondroitin sulfate may be helpful in some patients for relieving moderate to severe arthritis pain in the
knees & improving joint mobility.
Etanercept (Enbrel) is prescribed for a patient with stage II rheumatoid arthritis. The nurse monitors the
patient's laboratory results with the knowledge that a positive response to the drug is reflected by:
a. Decreased lymphocyte count.
b. Absence of Rh factor in the blood.
c. Increased serum immunoglobulin G.
d. Decreased C-reactive protein (CRP). - ✔✔d. Decreased C-reactive protein (CRP).
Etanercept is a biologically engineered copy of the TNF cell receptor. This soluble TNF receptor binds to
TNF circulation before TNF can bind to the cell surface receptor. By inhibiting the binding of TNF,
etanercept inhibits the inflammatory response. CRP is a general indicator of active inflammation. Thus, it
would be expected to decrease if the medication is effective in decreasing active inflammation.
The nurse assesses a patient with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis. The nurse expects to observe which of
the following signs/symptoms
a. Stiffness of the hips, knees, vertebrae, and/or fingers
b. Fever, rash, and nodules over bony prominences
c. Pain on abduction of the hips, waddling gait
d. Swollen, reddened, painful joint with limitation of motion - ✔✔a. Stiffness of the hips, knees,
vertebrae, and/or fingers
OA is a wear-and-tear disease characterized by stiffness in the joints, usually in the hips, knees,
vertebrae, & fingers.
Fever, rash = consistent w/ Lupus
OA causes joints to enlarged but not usually hot and inflamed. Inflammation of joints indicates RA.
The nurse cares for the client with a 10-year history of osteoarthritis. Which assessment would the nurse
expect to find?
