,
, |Rationale |: |Morphine |can |cause |respiratory |depression |if |given |too |much. |Also |you
should |ALWAYS |ASSESS |the |patient |first |when |a |med |error |is |performed |to |make
|
sure |med |error |doesn‟t |put |the |client‟s |health |in |risk.

4. A |nurse |is |preparing |to |administer |diphenhydramine |20 |mg |orally |to |a |6-year-old |child |who
has |difficulty |swallowing |pills. |Available |is |diphenhydramine |12.5 |mg/5 | mL |oral |syrup. |Which
|
of |the |following |images |shows |the |correct |# |of |mL |the |nurse |should |administer? |(Round |the
|
answer |to |the |nearest |whole |number.)
|
Click |on |the |syringe |that |has |8 | mL|of |med.
20 |mg |x |(5mL/12.5mg) |= |8 | mL
5. A |nurse |is |caring |for |a |6-year-old |child |who |has |a |new |prescription |for |cefoxitin |80
mg/kg/day |administered |intravenously|every|6 |hour. |The |child |weighs |20 |kg. |How |much
|
cefoxitin |should |the |nurse |administer |with |each |dose? |(Round |the |answer |to |the |nearest |whole
|
number. |Use |a |leading |zero |if |it |applies. |Do |not |use |a |trailing |zero.)
|
So |it |says |each |dose |for |the |final |answer, |but |we |are |given |80 |mg/kg/day.
80 |x|20 |= |1600 |/ |4 | (dose | is |given|every|6 | hours | a |day) |=400 | mg
|Rationale:|80 | mg |x |20 |kg |= |1,600 | |1,600/4 | x |day|(q6h) |= |400 | mg
6. A |nurse |is |preparing |to |administer |IV |fluids |to |a |client. |The |nurse |notes |sparks |when |plugging |in
the |IV |pump. |Which |of|the |following |actions |should |the |nurse |take |first?
|
a. Label |the |pump |with |a |defective |equipment |sticker.
b. Unplug |the |pump.
c. Obtain |a |replacement |pump.
d. Notified |the |biomedical |department |to |fix |the |pump.
Rationale: |Prioritization |question. |YOU |WILL |FIRST |UNPLUG |the |IV |pump |to |avoid
causing |a |fire.
|
7. A |nurse |is |caring |for |a |client |who |has |a |surgical |wound. |Which |of |the |following |laboratory
values |places |the |client |at |risk |for |poor |wound |healing?
|
a. Serum |albumin |3 |g/dL
, b. Total |lymphocyte |count |2400 |mm3
c. HCT |42%
d. HGB |16g/dL
Rationale: |Albumin |in |low. |Normal |range |is |3.5 |to |5.5 |g/dL. |Low |albumin |places |the
client |at |risk |forpoor |wound |healing. |The |other |lab |values |are |within |normal |limits.
|
8. A |nurse |is |preparing |to |check |a |client's |blood |pressure. |Which |of |the |following |actions |should |the
nurse |take? | Chapter |27 |Vitals |signs |page |244
|
a. Apply |the |cuff |above |the |client‟s |antecubital |fossa.
b. Use |a |cuff |with |a |width |that |is |about |60% |of |the |client's |arm |circumference. |- |width |of |the
cuff |should |be |40 |% |of |arm |circumference
|
c. How |the |clients |sit |with |his |arm |resting|above |the |level|of |his |heart. |- |MUST |BE |AT
HEART |LEVEL
|
d. Release |the |pressure |on |the |client's |arm |5 |to |6 |mm |per |second. |- |pressure |release |should |not
be |more |than |2 |to |3 |mm |hg |per |second
|
Rationale: |ATI |FUNDA |says |40% |of |the |arm |circumference |pg. |139. |Release |the |pressure
no |faster |than |2 |to |3 |mm |Hg |per |second. |Apply |the |BP |cuff |2.5 |cm |(1 |in) |above |the
|
antecubital |space |with |the |brachial |artery |in |line |with |the |marking |on |the |cuff.Apply |the
|
BP |cuff|2.5 |cm |(1 |in) |above |the |antecubital |space |with |the |brachial|artery |in |line |with |the
|
marking |on |the |cuff.
|
9. A |nurse |is |preparing |to |perform |nasal |tracheal |suctioning |for |a |client. |Which |of |the |following |is
an |appropriate |action |for |the |nurse |to |take? |Chapter |53 |Airway |management |page |563
|
a. Hold |the |suction |catheter |with |the |clean |non-dominant |hand.
b. Apply|suctioning |for |20 |to |30 |seconds.- |10 |-15 |seconds |is |the |maximum.
c. Place |the |catheter |in |a |location |that |is |clean |and |dry |for |later |use |new |line.- |NEVER
EVER |REUSE |THE |SUCTION |CATHETER |. | you |throw |it |awayafter |being |used.
|
d. Use |surgical |asepsis |when |performing |the |procedure.- |book |say |medical |asepsis
| which |is |maybe |the |same |thing |.
Rationale:|sterile |technique |for |trachea
