(MDI) to treat asthma. Which of the following information should the nurse include in
the teaching?
a. "The spacer increases the amount of medication delivered to the oropharynx."

A client enters the ER complaining of severe chest pain. A myocardial infarction is
suspected. A 12 lead ECG appears normal, but the doctor admits the client for further
testing until cardiac enzyme studies are returned. All of the following will be included
in the nursing care plan. Which activity has the highest priority?
a. Monitoring vital signs
b. Completing a physical assessment
c. Maintaining cardiac monitoring
d. Maintaining at least one IV access site
Give this one a try later!
C (Even though initial tests seem to be within normal range, it takes at least
3 hours for the cardiac enzyme studies to register. In the meantime, the
client needs to be watched for bradycardia, heart block, ventricular
irritability, and other arrhythmias. Other activities can be accomplished
around the MI monitoring.)
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new diagnosis of type 2 DM. The
nurse should recognize that the client understands the teaching when he identifies
which of the following as manifestations of hypoglycemia? (select all that apply)
a. polyuria
b. blurred vision
c. polydipsia
d. tachycardia
e moist, clammy skin

, B D E (polydipsia and polyuria are signs of hyperglycemia)
Which statements are true about femoral angiography?
Select all that apply.
a. The procedure is risk-free
b. Diet restrictions apply
c. The patient will be injected with an iodine-based dye
d. The procedure generally takes 1-3 hours

A nurse is assessing a client who has asthma. Which of the following areas should the
nurse evaluate as the most reliable indicator of central cyanosis?
a. Oral mucosa
b. Conjuctivae
c. Ear lobes
d. Soles of the feet
Give this one a try later!
, A (The nurse should first monitor the client's tongue and lips for
manifestations of central cyanosis because cyanosis is most evident in areas
with minimal pigmentation. All of the other answers can be correct, but oral
mucosa is the most optimal area to assess for cyanosis.)
A nurse is teaching a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus about exercise. Which of
the following instructions should the nurse include?
a. perform vigorous exercise when blood glucose is less than 100 mg/dL
b. do not exercise if ketones are present in your urine
c. avoid eating for 2 hr before exercise
d examine your feet weekly
Give this one a try later!
B (the client should be instructed not to exercise if ketones are present in
their urine because this is an indication of inadequate insulin and increases
the risk for hyperglycemia)
vigorous exercise is instructed of blood glucose is between 100-250
client should eat a snack if it has been over 1 hr since their last meal
feet should be examined daily, and after exercising to check for ulcers

the teaching?
a. "The spacer increases the amount of medication delivered to the oropharynx."
