A nurse is caring for a 5-year-old child
Physical Examination:
1510:
Upon visual inspection, throat is inflamed, tonsils appear pink, reddened and epiglottis is edematous and
cherry red in appearance. Skin appears pale. Stridor noted upon inspiration with diminished bilateral
lung sounds.
Nurse's Notes:

Child accompanied to emergency department by caregiver. Caregiver states child has a sore throat and
reports the child has "pain on swallowing" and denies cough. Child is agitated and lean - ANSWER
Condition: Epiglottis
Actions: Initiate droplet precautions and request a prescription for IV antibiotics
Monitors: Breath sounds and temperature
The nurse should anticipate initiating droplet precautions and requesting a prescription for IV antibiotics.
The child is most likely experiencing epiglottis because of the clinical manifestations of a high fever,
inflammation and redness of the throat, pale skin, stridor with inspiration, painful swallowing, no cough,
is sitting in tripod position, and drooling. The nurse should monitor the child's temperature and breath
sounds.
A nurse is caring for a client who is on the spinal cord injury (SCI) unit
Nurses' Notes
,Day 3, 1700
Client admitted to SCI unit 3 days ago following C7 injury. Skin is cool, pale, and dry to touch.
Respirations easy and unlabored. Lung sounds diminished in lower lobes. Abdomen soft and
nondistended with active bowel sounds. Client passed a small amount of hard formed stool this AM.
Indwelling urinary catheter draining clear yellow urine. Deep tendon reflexes (DTR) are biceps 1+, triceps
1+, pa - ANSWER The client is most likely experiencing manifestations of pneumonia and autonomic
dysreflexia.
The nurse should analyze cues from the client's manifestations and determine that the client is most
likely experiencing manifestations of pneumonia and autonomic dysreflexia. A client who has a cervical
SCI is at risk for respiratory complications because spinal innervation to the respiratory muscles is
disrupted. Adventitious breath sounds in the lower lobes bilaterally and a decrease in oxygen saturation
to less than 92% can indicate pneumonia. The client's sudden increase in blood pressure, bradycardia,
flushing of the skin above the area of the injury, headache, and blurred vision are manifestations of
autonomic dysreflexia, which can be a life-threatening condition.
A nurse is caring for a client who has abdominal pain
Nurses' Notes

Client reports loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue for 1 week. Reports abdominal pain, 6 on a scale
from 0 to 10, for 2 days. Client is a perioperative nurse, returned 1 week ago from a 2-week mission trip

oral transmission, laboratory results, and physical examination findings
Hepatitis B: Antiviral treatment, laboratory results, client's risk from bloodborne transmission, physical
examination findings
,Hepatitis C: Antiviral treatment, laboratory results, client's risk from bloodborne transmission, and
physical examination findings
When analyzing cues, the nurse should recognize that manifestations of hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and
hepatitis C include jaundice, yellow sclerae, right upper quandrant pain upon palpation, dark yellow
urine, and elevated AST and ALT levels. When analyzing cues, the nurse should also recognize the client's
risk for contracting hepatitis A through the fecal-oral route during recent travel to an underdeveloped
country and the client's occupational risk as a perioperative nurse for contracting hepatitis B and
hepatitis C through bloodborne transmission. The nurse should recognize that the current standard of
practice for

- Noted 2 cm x 2 cm (0.8 in x 0.8 in) painful edematous area on sacrum
- Client repositioned every 4 hr
When recognizing cues, the nurse should determine that the client's painful edematous area on their
sacrum and that the client has only been repositioned every 4 hr requires follow up. The client has
, manifestations of a pressure injury that need to be addressed. The client should be repositioned at least
every 2 hr to prevent worsening of the pressure injury and to relieve pressure from the sacral area.
