A client who is in hospice care complains of increasing amounts of pain. The healthcare provider
prescribes an analgesic every four hours as needed. Which action should the nurse implement?
A. Give an around-the-clock schedule for administration of analgesics.
B. Administer analgesic medication as needed when the pain is severe.
C. Provide medication to keep the client sedated and unaware of stimuli.
D. Offer a medication-free period so that the client can do daily activities. - Answer>>> The
most effective management of pain is achieved using an around-the-clock schedule that provides
analgesic medications on a regular basis (A) and in a timely manner. Analgesics are less
effective if pain persists until it is severe, so an analgesic medication should be administered
before the client's pain peaks (B). Providing comfort is a priority for the client who is dying, but
sedation that impairs the client's ability to interact and experience the time before life ends
should be minimized (C). Offering a medication-free period allows the serum drug level to fall,
which is not an effective method to manage chronic pain (D).
Correct Answer: A
A female client asks the nurse to find someone who can translate into her native language her
concerns about a treatment. Which action should the nurse take?
A) Explain that anyone who speaks her language can answer her questions.
B) Provide a translator only in an emergency situation.
C) Ask a family member or friend of the client to translate.
,D) Request and document the name of the certified translator. - Answer>>> D) Request and
document the name of the certified translator
A certified translator should be requested to ensure the exchanged information is reliable and
unaltered. To adhere to legal requirements in some states, the name of the translator should be
documented (D). Client information that is translated is private and protected under HIPAA
rules, so (A) is not the best action. Although an emergency situation may require extenuating
circumstances (B), a translator should be provided in most situations. Family members may skew
information and not translate the exact information, so (C) is not preferred.
A client with chronic renal failure selects a scrambled egg for his breakfast. What action should
the nurse take?
A) Commend the client for selecting a high biologic value protein.
B) Remind the client that protein in the diet should be avoided.
C) Suggest that the client also select orange juice, to promote absorption.
D) Encourage the client to attend classes on dietary management of CRF - Answer>>> A)
Commend the client for selecting a high biologic value protein
Foods such as eggs and milk (A) are high biologic proteins which are allowed because they are
complete proteins and supply the essential amino acids that are necessary for growth and cell
repair. Although a low-protein diet is followed (B), some protein is essential. Orange juice is rich
in potassium, and should not be encouraged (C). The client has made a good diet choice, so (D)
is not necessary
After gastric surgery a client has a nasogastric tube in place. What should the nurse do when
caring for this client?
1
, Monitor for signs of electrolyte imbalance.
2
Change the tube at least once every 48 hours.
3
Connect the nasogastric tube to high continuous suction.
4
Assess placement by injecting 10 mL of water into the tube - Answer>>> 1
Gastric secretions, which are electrolyte rich, are lost through the nasogastric tube; the
imbalances that result can be life threatening. Changing the nasogastric tube every 48 hours is
unnecessary and can damage the suture line. High continuous suction can cause trauma to the
suture line. Injecting 10 mL of water into the nasogastric tube to test for placement is unsafe; if
respiratory intubation has occurred aspiration will result
The nurse manager is planning to assign an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to care for
clients. What care can be delegated on a medical-surgical unit to a UAP? Select all that apply.
Correct 1
Performing a bed bath for a client on bed rest
2
Evaluating the effectiveness of acetaminophen and codeine (Tylenol #3)
3
Obtaining an apical pulse rate before oral digoxin (Lanoxin) is administered
Correct 4
Assisting a client who has patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) to the bathroom
5
