answers 2026/2027 Edition Graded A+
A student nurse is assessing the blood pressure of a client with the
client's arm unsupported. What are the expected errors in the
obtained readings? - ANSWER ✅ ✅False High
Rationale: If the client's arm is unsupported, or if the arm is below the
heart level, the resulting outcome is a false high reading. Application
of the stethoscope too firmly against antecubital fossa will result in a
false low diastolic reading. Repeated assessments of blood pressure
too often result in a false high systolic reading. Deflating the cuff too
slowly results in a false high diastolic reading.
The nurse is caring for a surgical client who develops a wound
infection during hospitalization. How is this type of infection
classified? - ANSWER ✅ ✅Nosocomial
Rationale: A nosocomial infection is acquired in a health care setting.
This is also referred to as a hospital-acquired infection. It is a result of
poor infection control procedures such as a failure to wash hands
between clients. A primary infection is synonymous with initial
infection. A secondary infection is made possible by a primary
infection that lowers the host's resistance and causes an infection by
another kind of organism. A superinfection is a new infection caused
by an organism different from that which caused the initial infection.
The microbe responsible is usually resistant to the treatment given for
the initial infection.
, When to measure vital signs - ANSWER ✅ ✅-On admission to a
healthcare facility
-When assessing pts during home care visit
-In hospital during routine schedule according to health care provider
order or standard of practice
-Before, during, & after surgical procedure/invasive diagnostic
procedure
-Before/during/after blood transfusion products
-Before/during/after admin of med or therapies that affect
cardiovascular, respiratory, or temp control function
-When pt condition changes (ex. loss of consciousness)
-Before/during/after interventions influencing VS (ex. ambulation,
before/after ROM exercises
-When pt reports nonspecific symptoms of physical distress (ex.
feeling 'funny' or 'different')
Normal Temperature Ranges - ANSWER ✅ ✅36C- 38C (96.8F -
100.4F)
-Average oral temp = 37C (98.6F)
-Temp controlled by hypothalamus
Patterns of Fever - ANSWER ✅ ✅Sustained- constant body
temp continuously above 100.4F- little fluctuation
