• Which of these clients should the charge nurse assign to the
registered nurse (RN)?
A 24-year-old post-op client with type 1 diabetes in the process of discharge
Discharge teaching must be done by an RN. Practical nurses (PNs) or unlicensed
assistive personnel (UAPs) can reinforce education after the RN does the initial
teaching.
• You are caring for a client with deep vein thrombosis who is on Heparin IV.
The latest APTT is 50 seconds. If the laboratory normal range is 16-24 seconds,
you would anticipate
maintaining the current heparin dose
The range for a therapeutic APTT is 1.5-2 times the control. Therefore, the client
is receiving a therapeutic dose of Heparin.
• An arterial blood gases test (ABG) is ordered for a confused client. The
respiratory therapist draws the blood and then asks the nurse to apply pressure
to the area so the therapist can take the specimen to the lab. How long should
the nurse apply pressure to the area? 5 minutes
It is necessary to apply pressure to the area for 5 minutes to prevent bleeding

• The nurse enters the room of a client diagnosed with COPD. The client’s
skin is pink, and respirations are 8 per minute. The client’s oxygen is running at
6 liters per minute. What should be the nurse’s first action? Lower the oxygen
rate
In client’s diagnosed with COPD, the drive to breathe is hypoxia. If oxygen is
delivered at too high of a concentration, this drive will be eliminated and the
client’s depth and rate of respirations will decrease. Therefore, the first action
should be to lower the oxygen rate.
• The nurse is administering intravenous vesicant chemotherapeutic agent
to a client. Which assessment would require the nurse’s immediate action?
Complaints of pain at site of infusion
A vesicant is a chemotherapeutic agent capable of causing blistering of tissues
and possible tissue necrosis if there is extravasation. These agents are irritants
which cause pain along the vein wall, with or without inflammation.
• The nurse is administering diltiazem (Cardizem) to a client. Prior to
administration, it is important for the nurse to assess which parameter? Blood
pressure
Diltiazem (Cardizem) is a calcium channel blocker that causes systemic
vasodilation resulting in decreased blood pressure.
