CHAPTER 1: MEDICAL-SURGICAL
NURSING CARE
Focuses on adult health, oxygenation, infectious disease controls, fluid and electrolyte balance, and
chronic condition management.
Question 1: A nurse is assessing a client who received 2 units of packed RBCs 48 hours ago.
Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the transfusion therapy has been
effective?
A. Hemoglobin 14.9 g/dL
B. Platelets 150,000/mm³
C. WBC count 8,000/mm³
D. Potassium 4.2 mEq/L
ANSWER : A — Hemoglobin 14.9 g/dL
Explanation: Packed red blood cells are administered to clients who have a decreased level of hemoglobin or
hematocrit. A hemoglobin level of 14.9 g/dL is within the expected reference range of 14 to 18 g/dL for males and 12
to 16 g/dL for females, indicating that the transfusion therapy has been effective. The other options represent other
laboratory parameters that are not primary indicators of red blood cell replacement effectiveness.
Question 2: A nurse is assessing a client who has hyperthyroidism. Which of the following clinical
findings should the nurse expect?
A. Tremors
B. Bradycardia
C. Weight gain
D. Dry, cold skin
ANSWER : A — Tremors
Explanation: Tremors are a common manifestation of hyperthyroidism, along with tachycardia, diaphoresis, weight
loss, insomnia, and exophthalmia due to a hypermetabolic state. Bradycardia, weight gain, and dry, cold skin are
typical manifestations of hypothyroidism rather than hyperthyroidism.

Question 3: A nurse is preparing to teach about dietary management to a client who has Crohn's
disease and an enteroenteric fistula. Which of the following nutrients should the nurse instruct the
client to decrease in their diet?
A. Protein
B. Calories
C. Fiber
D. Calcium
ANSWER : C — Fiber
Explanation: The nurse should instruct a client with Crohn's disease and an enteroenteric fistula to consume a
low-fiber diet. Decreasing dietary fiber helps reduce diarrhea, bowel motility, and inflammation of the bowel mucosa.
High protein and high calorie intake are necessary to promote healing, and calcium should not be restricted unless
specifically indicated.
Question 4: A nurse is developing a client education program about osteoporosis for a group of
older adult clients. Which of the following variables should the nurse include in the teaching as a
modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis?
A. Sedentary lifestyle
B. Small body frame
C. Female gender
D. Family history
ANSWER : A — Sedentary lifestyle
Explanation: A sedentary lifestyle is a significant modifiable risk factor for osteoporosis. The nurse should encourage
older adult clients to engage in weight-bearing exercises because they promote bone health by stimulating osteoblast
activity and increasing calcium and phosphorus deposition in bone. Body frame size, female gender, and family
history are non-modifiable risk factors.
