ction to a client who had a recent bowel resection surgery.

ion. Which client statement best indicates that the client is not currently at risk for suicide?

Availability of help during a crisis (counselor, family) - Future goals and plans -

Home and environment risks - Overall affect and level of energy -

Possible access to weapons Clients who articulate long-

,Q4. The nurse cares for a client with a terminal disease who created a do not attempt resuscit

ation (DNAR) directive. The client stops breathing and loses their pulse. The client's adult chil

d states, "Please, do whatever you can to save them!" Which intervention is appropriate?
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: 3. Explain the client's resuscitation directive to the client's child Clients can create
dd dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



a do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR) directive instructing that CPR and other life-
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



saving measures be withheld. With an advance directive in place, the client's wishes should be followed,
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



even if they conflict with the wishes of loved ones
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




Q5. The nurse in the cardiac intensive care unit receives report on 4 clients. Which client sho

uld the nurse assess first?

[Verified Solution]: 2. Client who underwent coronary artery stent placement via femoral approach 3

ntially life- dd



threatening bleeding from the femoral artery. Hypotension, back pain, flank ecchymosis (eg, Grey Turne

r sign), hematoma formation, and diminished distal pulses can be early signs of bleeding into the retrop

eritoneal space and require immediate intervention (eg, notify health care provider, serial complete bloo

d count, CT scan of the abdomen)
dd dd dd dd dd dd




Q6. The nurse is reviewing the medical history of a client who has sustained a right tibia/fibul
dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



a fracture from a fall. The nurse identifies which finding as most likely to hinder healing?
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: 4. Peripheral arterial disease Bone healing depends on multiple factors, including
dd dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



nutrition, adequate circulation, and age. A client with peripheral arterial disease has decreased perfusion
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd d



dto the extremities due to atherosclerotic changes in the arteries. Without adequate perfusion, the bone is

dnot supplied with the oxygen and nutrients required for healing
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




Q7. A client is receiving packed RBCs intravenously through a double-
dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



lumen peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line. During the transfusion, the nurse rec

eives a new prescription to begin intravenous piggyback (IVPB) amphotericin
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



B. What is the nurse's best action?
dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: 4. Wait 1 hour after blood transfusion finishes administering amphotericin B Amp
dd dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



hotericin B is an antifungal medication used to treat systemic fungal infections. It is commonly associat
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



ed with severe adverse effects, including hypotension, fever, chills, and nephrotoxicity. Due to the simil
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



arity between the adverse effects of amphotericin B and the symptoms of a blood transfusion reaction (e
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



g, chills, fever, hypotension, kidney injury), the nurse's best action is to complete the blood transfusion
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



and allow one hour of observation before initiating amphotericin B (Option 4). This enables the nurse to
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



distinguish between transfusion-related reactions and adverse effects from amphotericin B.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd

, Q8. Findings that require further investigation in a client with penetrating stab wounds to the
dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



neck, chest, and/or abdomen include:
dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: Unilateral chest wall expansion (one side of the chest expands more than the othe
dd dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



r) and diminished breath sounds, which indicate the presence of air (eg, open pneumothorax) or fluid in

tachypnea, hypoxemia) and signs of poor perfusion (eg, skin pallor), which are concerning for hemorrha
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



ge and respiratory compromise
dd dd dd




Q9. Which intervention does the nurse anticipate next?
dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: WRONG 4. Chest tube insertion A tension pneumothorax is life-
dd dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



threatening and requires immediate chest tube placement to decompress the pleural space, promote reex
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



pansion of the compressed lung, relieve compression of the heart and great vessels, and restore hemody
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



namic stability. The chest tube should be connected to a water seal drainage system and suction, which
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



promotes evacuation of air and reestablishment of negative pressure in the pleural cavity. The water seal
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



acts as a one-way valve, allowing air to exit the pleural space but not enter it
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




Q10. The nurse is assisting the client with repositioning in bed when the chest tube becomes d
dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



islodged from the client's chest. Which action should the nurse perform first?
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: 3. Cover the insertion site with the palm of a gloved hand If a chest tube is accid
dd dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



entally dislodged from the client's chest, the priority is to cover the insertion site to prevent atmospheric
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



air from entering the pleural space. Ideally, a dry, sterile gauze dressing is placed over the site and tap
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



ed on three sides; this allows intrapleural air to escape and prevents development of a tension pneumoth

orax. However, if the nurse does not have immediate access to sterile gauze, the priority is to place the
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



palm of a clean, gloved hand firmly over the site until a dressing can be obtained
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




Q11. The client's chest tube is reinserted and connected to a new water seal drainage system.
dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



Which of the following observations require follow-
dd dd dd dd dd dd



up with the health care provider? Select all that apply.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




[Verified Solution]: 1. 150 mL sanguineous output 1 hour after chest tube reinsertion -
dd dddd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



The presence of excess blood (>100 mL/hr of sanguineous output) in the collection chamber indicates
