A nurse is teaching a client who is postpartum about preventing injury when
using a car seat for her newborn. Which of the following instructions should
the nurse include? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Install the car
seat so that it is facing the rear of the vehicle.
(The client should install the car seat so that it is rear-facing in the back
seat. This position also protects the newborns head and neck during a
sudden stop or a crash. The back of the car seat protects the newborn's
spine.)
A nurse in a community health clinic is screening a 10-year-old girl for
scoliosis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the child
for this examination? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------"Bend
forward at the waist and let your arms hang down."
(During a scoliosis screening, the nurse should have the child bend forward
at the waist, keeping her back parallel with the floor and having her arms
dangle freely. In this position, the nurse can observe asymmetry of the ribs
and flanks.)
A nurse in a mental health facility is preparing an educational program for a
group of staff nurses about the proper use of restraints. Which of the
following information should the nurse plan to include? ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------An adult client may be in a mechanical restraint for
up to 4 hours.
(The nurse should specify that a client who is 18 years or older may be in a
restraint for no more than 4 hours. Children who are 9 to 17 years old are
limited to 2 hours and children who are younger than 9 years old are limited
to 1 hour.)
,A nurse is providing dietary teaching to a client who has diarrhea. Whihc of
the following instructions should the nurse include? ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------"Increase your intake of potassium-rich foods while
you are experiencing diarrhea."
(The nurse should instruct the client to increase his intake of foods
containing potassium, such as tomatoes and potatoes, while he is
experiencing diarrhea. The increased intake of potassium helps reduce the
risk of electrolyte imbalance due to fluid loss.)
A nurse is planning to implement bladder retraining for a client who has
urge urinary incontinence. Which of the following actions should the nurse
plan to take? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Gradually lengthen
the time between the client's scheduled voids.
(The nurse should gradually lengthen the time between scheduled voids
when implementing bladder retraining. The client is encouraged and taught
to suppress the urge to void between scheduled voids through the use of
pelvic exercises, distraction, and abdominal breathing. When the client is
successfully able to suppress the urge, the time between voids is slightly
increased. This process of scheduled voiding promotes retraining of the
bladder and decreases urge incontinence.)
A nurse is assessing a client who has fibromyalgia. Which of the following
treatment modality prescriptions should the nurse expect for the client's
mixed pain? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Pregabalin PO twice
daily.
(The nurse should expect a prescription for an antidepressant medication
such as pregabalin. The mixed pain experienced by a client who has
fibromyalgia has components of both nociceptive and neuropathic pain,
which responds best to adjunctive treatment modalities such as
antidepressants. These medications work to increase the release of
serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmitters in the brain.)
A nurse is preparing to leave the room who is on isolation precautions.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take when removing a tied
, surgical mask? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Remove the mask
by securely holding the ties and moving it away from the face.
(The nurse should untie the bottom strings and then the top strings. Finally,
while still holding the strings, the nurse should remove the mask from her
face. This action prevents the nurse from touching the front of the mask,
which is contaminated.)
A nurse is searching electronic databases for clinical research about
behavioral indicators. Which of the following online sources should the
nurse select to research this infant care issue? ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health
Literature (CINAHL)
(The nurse should select the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health
Literature (CINAHL) to locate clinical research about health-related client
care issues. CINAHL is a cumulative index that the nurse can search
electronically to locate reliable data related to the specific topic being
researched.)
A nurse is preparing to administer three medications to a client who has an
NG tube: a levothyroxine tablet, an ibuprofen gel cap, and a delayed-
release omeprazole capsule. Which of the following actions should the
nurse take? ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Crush the
levothyroxine tablet into a powder and dissolve it into 30 mL of warm sterile
water.
(The nurse should prepare simple tablets for NG administration by crushing
them into a fine powder and dissolving them in at least 30 mL of warm
sterile water. Cold water can cause discomfort. Sterile water eliminates the
possible problem of chemicals in tap water interacting with the medication.)
A nurse is planning care who has an indwelling urinary catheter. Which of
the following interventions include in the plan to prevent the development of
a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI)? ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------Secure the catheter tubing to the client's leg.
