QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The nurse transcribes the postoperative prescriptions for a client who
returns to the unit following surgery and notes that an antihypertensive
medication that was prescribed preoperatively is not listed. Which action
should the nurse take?
A.
Consult with the pharmacist about the need to continue the medication.
B.
Administer the antihypertensive medication as prescribed preoperatively.
C.
Withhold the medication until the client is fully alert and vital signs are
stable.
D.
Contact the health care provider to renew the prescription for the
medication.
- ............ANSWER..........D
Rationale: Medications prescribed preoperatively must be renewed
postoperatively, so the nurse should contact the health care provider if the
antihypertensive medication is not included in the postoperative
prescriptions. The pharmacist does not prescribe medications or renew
prescriptions. The nurse must have a current prescription before
administering any medications.
,
Which fluid will the nurse select to administer with the prescribed blood
transfusion?
A.
5% Dextrose and water
B.
Normal saline
C.
Lactated Ringers solution
D.
5% Dextrose and lactated ringers
- ............ANSWER..........B
Rationale: Normal saline solution is the only solution that is compatible
with blood.
When assisting a client from the bed to a chair, which procedure is best
for the nurse to follow?
A.
Place the chair parallel to the bed, with its back toward the head of the
bed and assist the client in moving to the chair.
B.
With the nurse's feet spread apart and knees aligned with the client's
knees, stand and pivot the client into the chair.
C.
Assist the client to a standing position by gently lifting upward,
underneath the axillae.
,
D.
Stand beside the client, place the client's arms around the nurse's neck,
and gently move the client to the chair.
- ............ANSWER..........B
Rationale: Option B describes the correct positioning of the nurse and
affords the nurse a wide base of support while stabilizing the client's
knees when assisting to a standing position. The chair should be placed at
a 45-degree angle to the bed, with the back of the chair toward the head
of the bed. Clients should never be lifted under the axillae; this could
damage nerves and strain the nurse's back. The client should be instructed
to use the arms of the chair and should never place his or her arms around
the nurse's neck; this places undue stress on the nurse's neck and back and
increases the risk for a fall.
The nurse is called to the waiting room of a pediatric clinic. The frantic
mother states, "I think my 4-month-old baby is choking!" What steps will
the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)
A.
Compress the chest once between the nipples with two fingers.
B.
Note any obstruction or absence of breathing.
C.
Deliver five backslaps between the shoulder blades.
D.
Place the infant over the nurse's arm.
E.
Perform a blind finger sweep.
,
- ............ANSWER..........B, C, D
Rationale: The fingers are placed at the same location on an infant as
chest compressions for CPR; however, the nurse must deliver five chest
thrusts, after the five back slaps. Blind sweeps are not used as this action
may push the object deeper into the throat. The remaining steps are
correct.
How many mL will the nurse document on the client's intake and output
record from the items listed? _____ mL
1200 mL water
4 ounce container of gelatin
8 ounces of orange juice
355 mL can of soda1 cup of soup
- ............ANSWER..........Answer: 2155
Rationale: 1200 + 240 (8 oz) + 240 (1 cup) + 120 (4 oz) + 355 = 2155
