QUESTION 1 zm




The nurse is listing consequences of malignant hyperthermia. Which consequence sho
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



uld be included? (Select all that
zm zm zm zm zm



apply.) A.Gastroenteritis B.Pulmonary edema C.Renal failure D.Disseminated intravasc
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



ular coagulation E.Cardiac dysrhythmias
zm zm zm




ANSWER

BCDE Rationale: Malignant hyperthermia is an inherited disorder that affects temperature regulation.
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm z



mWith this zm



condition, an individual experiences a serious reaction to inhaled anesthetic gases and depolarizing
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



neuromuscular blockers. If not treated, the individual will develop renal failure, pulmonary
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



edema, cardiac
zm zm



dysrhythmias, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Malignant hypothermia does not cause ga
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



stroenteritis.



QUESTION 2 zm




Which type of body temperature changes in response to the
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



environment? A.Core B.Metabolic C.Surface D.Physiologic
zm zm zm zm zm




ANSWER

C.Surface zm



Rationale: Surface temperature changes in response to the environment. Core temperature remains c
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



onstant and stays within a specific range. Metabolic and physiologic are not types of body temperat
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



ure.



QUESTION 3 zm

,The nurse observes a mother stroking her child's arms and legs with a
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



cool, damp washcloth. Which method of heat transfer is the mother using to reduce t
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



he fever? A.Radiation B.Conduction C.Metabolism D.Evaporation
zm zm zm zm zm




ANSWER

D.Evaporatin zm



Rationale: Heat can be transferred between places or objects. Evaporation is the conversion of water
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



to vapor, which is what occurs when the mother applies cool water to the
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



child's limbs. Radiation is the release of heat through no physical contact. Conduction is the release
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm z



of heat through physical contact. Metabolism is not a method of heat transfer.

QUESTION 4 zm




The nurse is assessing a client who fell into a cold lake. Which assessment finding ind
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



icates that the client's body is attempting to regulate its temperature? (Select all that
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



apply.) A.Shivering B.Cold hands C.Sleepiness D.Sweating E.Thirst
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm




ANSWER

AB Rationale: When the skin is
zm zm zm zm zm



chilled, the body attempts to regulate temperature by vasoconstriction of blood vessels. This could
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



be why thezm zm



client's hands are cold. The body also shivers to increase heat production. The body does not regul
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



ate temperature through sleep, thirst, or by sweating.
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm




QUESTION 5 zm




The nurse is preparing to use the tympanic membrane to measure the temperature of
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm z



a 4-year-old child. Which approach should the nurse take when completing this
m zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



measurement? A.Pull the earlobe back and up. B.Pull the pinna back and up. C.Pull th
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



e earlobe back and down. D.Pull the pinna back and down.
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm




ANSWER

B.Pull the pinna back and up.
zm zm zm zm zm



Rationale: The pinna is pulled straight back and upward when taking temperature in children over
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



3 years of age. To measure temperature using the tympanic membrane in an
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



infant, the pinna is pulled straight back and slightly downward. The earlobe is not manipulated to
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



measure temperature using the tympanic membrane.
zm zm zm zm zm




QUESTION 6 zm




Which is a noninvasive method that the nurse uses to assess a client's temperature?
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



(Select all that
zm zm zm



apply.) A.Axillary B.Temporal artery C.Tympanic membrane D.Rectal E.Oral
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm




ANSWER

, AB zm



Rationale: The two methods of measuring temperature that are safe and noninvasive are the axillary
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm z



mmethod and temporal artery. The client could bite down during the oral approach and damage sens
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



itive oral mucosa. The rectal method is invasive and could damage sensitive tissue. Although general
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



ly safe, the tympanic temperature measurement is an invasive procedure.
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm




QUESTION 7 zm




The nurse is planning to assess a 4-year-old child to help determine the cause of the
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



child's fever. Which body system is a priority to assess? (Select all that
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



apply.) A.Urinary B.Respiratory C.Musculoskeletal D.Neurologic E.Gastrointestinal
zm zm zm zm zm zm




ANSWER

ABE Rationale: Infections of the
zm zm zm zm



urinary, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems are the most common reason for a fever in this a
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



ge range. The neurologic and musculoskeletal systems are not common systems for infections in chil
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



dren.



QUESTION 8 zm




A school nurse is recommending a school-wide initiative to reduce the risk of heat-
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



related injuries in athletes. Which recommendation should the nurse
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



include? A.Cancel athletic games when the temperature is above 80degreesF. B.Encou
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



rage the school to move athletic activities indoors. C.Increase access to
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



fresh, cold water. D.Reduce athletic activities at the school.
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm




ANSWER

C.Increase access to fresh, cold water. zm zm zm zm zm zm



Rationale: Increasing access to fresh cold water and encouraging frequent water breaks can decrease
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



the risk of hyperthermia. It is highly unlikely that the school will reduce athletic
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



activities, and it may not be possible to cancel games when the temperature is above
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



80°F. The school may not have the facilities to host indoor athletics, and it
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



doesn't address the needs of athletes when they play at other locations.
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm




QUESTION 9 zm




The nurse is at a party when a guest faints due to suspected hyperthermia. What sho
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



uld the nurse do first
zm zm zm zm



? A.Run inside and call 911. B.Remove clothing and lightly mist the guest with cool wa
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



ter. C.Send someone to call 911 and stay with the guest. D.Help the guest get
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



inside, and call 911.
zm zm zm zm




ANSWER

C.Send someone to call 911 and stay with the guest. Rationale: It is important for the nurse to stay
zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm zm



with the client until help arrives. The nurse should send another guest to call for help. The nurse sh
