The patient and the nurse are discussing Rickettsia rickettsii—Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Which patient statement to the nurse indicates understanding regarding the mode of transmission
for this disease?
a. "When camping, I will use sunscreen."
b. "When camping, I will drink bottled water."
c. "When camping, I will wear insect repellent."
d. "When camping, I will wash my hands with hand gel." - Answer>>> ANS: C
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by bacteria transmitted by the bite of ticks. Wearing a
repellent that is designed for repelling ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects can help in preventing
transmission of this disease. Drinking plenty of uncontaminated water, wearing sunscreen, and
using alcohol-based hand gels for cleaning hands are all important activities to participate in
while camping, but they do not contribute to or prevent transmission of this disease.
Which behaviors support inclusion of the nursing diagnosis compromised family coping related
to loss of home in a fire in the care plan? (Select all that apply.)
The children missed school and the parents missed work during the first few days after the fire.
All of the family members were able to stay at the home of a neighbor for the first week after the
fire.
The parents have not been able to speak to each other without screaming in anger for the last 2
weeks.
The children still have occasional nightmares about the fire and the damage to the family home.
,The parents are so preoccupied with insurance frustration that they have not noticed that the
oldest child is failing school. - Answer>>> c, e
Inability to speak to each other without screaming and not noticing the needs of other family
members demonstrate the appropriateness of compromised family coping as a nursing diagnosis.
It is expected that the family members would miss work and school for the first few days after
the fire. The family is fortunate that they were able to stay with a neighbor. Occasional
nightmares are to be expected following a house fire and do not demonstrate compromised
family coping skills.
Which assessment findings lead the nurse to inform the family that the patient's death is
imminent? (Select all that apply.)
The patient's pupils are fixed and dilated bilaterally.
The patient is lethargic, drifting in and out of consciousness.
The patient's breathing is harsh and congested with periods of apnea.
The patient had only 40 mL in the urinary catheter bag for the last 8 hours.
The patient's temperature is 102.6° F (39.2° C) but the hands and feet are cool and
mottled. - Answer>>> b c d e
*What is the correct order in which elastic stockings should be applied?
1. Identify patient using two identifiers.
2. Smooth any creases or wrinkles.
3. Slide the remainder of the stocking over the patient's heel and up the leg
4. Turn the stocking inside out until heel is reached.
5. Assess the condition of the patient's skin and circulation of the legs.
6. Place toes into foot of the stocking.
7. Use tape measure to measure patient's legs to determine proper stocking size.*
A. 1, 5, 7, 4, 6, 2, 3
, B. 1, 7, 5, 4, 6, 2, 3
C. 1, 5, 7, 4, 6, 3, 2
D. 1, 5, 4, 7, 6, 3, 2 - Answer>>> *Answer: C*
*Which of the following are physiological outcomes of immobility?*
A. Increased metabolism
B. Reduced cardiac workload
C. Decreased lung expansion
D. Decreased oxygen demand - Answer>>> *Answer: C*
Rationale: Physiologic outcomes of immobility include decreased metabolism, increased cardiac
workload, decreased lung expansion, and increased oxygen demand.
*An older adult has limited mobility as a result of a total knee replacement. During assessment
you note that the patient has difficulty breathing while lying flat. Which of the following
assessment data support a possible pulmonary problem related to impaired mobility? (Select all
that apply.)*
A. B/P = 128/84
B. Respirations 26/min on room air
C. HR 114
D. Crackles over lower lobes heard on auscultation
E. Pain reported as 3 on scale of 0 to 10 after medication - Answer>>> *Answer: B, C, D*
Rationale: Patients who are immobile are at high risk for developing pulmonary complications.
The most common respiratory complications are atelectasis (collapse of alveoli) and hypostatic
pneumonia (inflammation of the lung from stasis or pooling of secretions). Ultimately the
distribution of mucus in the bronchi increases, particularly when the patient is in the supine,
prone, or lateral position.
