A client smokes two packs of cigarettes per day. Postoperatively, what are the client's
greatest risks?
A. Atelectasis, pneumonia, and fever
B. Hypotension, aspiration, and fever
C. Malignant hyperthermia, atelectasis, and fever
D. Clostridium difficile, hypotension, and fever

, A. Atelectasis, pneumonia, and fever
Rationale: Smokers who have surgery have a greater difficulty than
nonsmokers clearing the airways of mucous secretions and are more likely
to experience atelectasis, pneumonia, and fever. Hypotension, aspiration,
and fever are not necessarily indicators of poor ventilation status for
smokers. Malignant hyperthermia is a hereditary condition due to
anesthetic complications. Clostridium difficile is a bacteria usually caused
by antibiotic therapy that has disrupted the normal digestive flora.
Some proteins are manufactured in the body, but others are not. Those that must be
obtained through diet are known as
A. Amino acids.
B. Dispensable amino acids.
C. Triglycerides.
D. Indispensable amino acids.

✓D. Indispensable amino acids.
Rationale: The simplest form of protein is the amino acid. The body does
not synthesize indispensable amino acids, so these need to be provided in
the diet. The body synthesizes dispensable amino acids. Triglycerides are
made up of three fatty acids attached to a glycerol.
Which of the following laboratory tests are performed on stool specimens for
diagnostic purposes? Select All That Apply.
A. Occult blood test
B. Ova and Parasites
C. Colonoscopy
,D. Sigmoidoscopy
E. Barium enema

✓A. Occult blood test
✓B. Ova and Parasites
Rationale: An test for occult blood and a test of ova and parasite require a
stool specimen. An occult blood test looks for blood that is not visible. An
ova and parasite examines a stool specimen for parasites and their eggs.
A graduate nurse is working on an oncology unit. They would expect a grieving
individual to experience normal manifestations of grief. Which of the following is not a
normal symptom of grief?
A. Loss of appetite
B. Crying
C. Alterations in sleep
D. Suicidal thoughts
Give this one a try later!
D. Suicidal thoughts
Rationale: Objective # 33 Answer: Suicidal thoughts Verbalization of the
loss, crying, sleep disturbance, loss of appetite, difficulty concentrating are
all normal manifestations of grief. Suicidal thoughts, extended time of
denial, depression, severe physiological symptoms are signs of
complicated grieving.
The nurse is caring for a patient at risk for sensory overload. What intervention should
the nurse implement?
A. Remove the patient's hearing aid
B. Reduce the patient's pain
, C. Assist with all ADL
D. Provide unlimited stimulation
Give this one a try later!
B. Reduce the patient's pain
Rationale: If the patient is experiencing sensory overload, interventions
should focus on reducing stimulation involving external and internal
factors. Limiting extraneous noise, bright lights, room clutter, interruptions,
pain, and stress reduces stimulation. While it is true that clients with sensory
overload may neglect their ADLs to the point that they need assistance, the
nurse assists the patient only with the immediately essential ADLs (moving,
eating, toileting, and resting). Removing hearing aid and unlimited
stimulation increase anxiety.
Factors that influence how an individual or family responds to loss or grief include:
A. developmental level
B. nature of the loss
C. culture
D. socio-economic status
E. coping strategies
