A nurse is admitting a client who is having an exacerbation of his asthma. When reviewing the
provider's orders, the nurse recognizes that clarification is needed for which of the following
medications?
Propranolol
A nurse is teaching a client who has chronic kidney failure about planning a low-protein diet. The
client states, "Why do I have to be concerned about protein?" Which of the following responses
should the nurse make?
"A low-protein diet reduces the risk for uremia."
A nurse is assigned to care for a client diagnosed with autoimmune or idiopathic thrombocytopenic
purpura (ITP). When reviewing the client's plan of care prior to caring for the client, the nurse should
recognize that the priority concern in caring for the client is to monitor for
bleeding.
A nurse is planning care for a client who is to start receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Which of
the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Use a 1.2 micron filter when infusing TPN with fat emulsions added.
A nurse is planning care for a client who has pernicious anemia. Which of the following interventions
should the nurse plan to implement?
Vitamin B12 injections
A nurse is assessing a client who has diabetes insipidus. Which of the following findings should the
nurse expect?
Dehydration
, A nurse is caring for a client in the emergency department.
Upon recognizing and analyzing the client cues of anemia, jaundice, and acute vaso-occlusive symptoms,
the nurse's priority hypotheses is that this client is most likely experiencing sickle cell anemia. It is
important to generate solutions and take actions that will improve anemia and reduce the sickling of
blood cells. Therefore, the nurse should draw a type and cross match and administer oxygen to increase
tissue perfusion and improve gas exchange, thereby, reducing sickling of red blood cells. To evaluate
these interventions, the nurse should monitor the client's hydration status and their abdomen for
splenic tenderness which may indicate damage from episodes of ischemia and hypoxia.
A nurse is caring for a client who has meningitis, a temperature of 39.7° C (103.5° F), and is prescribed
a hypothermia blanket. While using this therapy, the nurse should know that the client must carefully
be observed for which of the following complications?
shivering
A nurse is planning care for a client who is 1 day postoperative following spinal fusion. Which of the
following actions should the nurse include?
Log roll the client every 2 hr.
A nurse is teaching with a client about taking high doses of oral glucocorticoids for an extended period
of time to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in
the teaching?
"Monitor for compression fractures of the back and neck."
A nurse is caring for a 67-year old male client who reports abdominal pain and vomiting for one week.
Metabolic alkalosis is correct
Nasogastric suctioning is correct
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is caring for a client.
The nurse should medicate the client for bladder spasms and irrigate the urinary catheter because the
client is most likely experiencing an obstructed urinary catheter. Clots and tissue debris can pass through
and block the flow of urine through the catheter. If the urinary catheter becomes obstructed, the nurse
should irrigate the indwelling catheter to maintain the flow of irrigation and urine. The nurse should also
medicate the client for bladder spasms that can occur as a result of obstruction of the catheter. The
nurse should closely monitor the client's urine output to ensure that further obstruction to the catheter
does not occur. The nurse should also frequently monitor the client's blood pressure and pulse to detect
if bleeding is occurring because this is a risk factor of a TURP procedure.
The nurse should monitor the client's hemoglobin and hematocrit levels and urine output because a
complication of a transurethral resection of the prostate is bleeding from bladder spasms or movement.
Also, the nurse should monitor the color, consistency, and amount of the client's output to detect any
further obstruction and bleeding.
A nurse is caring for a client who has uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following
findings should the nurse expect?
