What specialized precautions should the nurse include in the plan of care
when caring for a patient with the Ebola virus? Select all that apply.
1 Provide care and comfort measures
2 Assess for unexplained blood clotting
3 Isolate patient with Ebola in a single room
4 Use dedicated or disposable medical equipment and supplies
Correct 3, 4
The patient with the Ebola virus is highly contagious so the nurse should isolate the
patient in a single room. The nurse should also use dedicated or disposable medical
equipment and supplies to prevent cross contamination of the virus with other
patients. Care and comfort measures are patient-centered collaborative care and
should be provided to all patients no matter what the diagnosis is. The nurse should
assess for unexplained hemorrhage, not unexplained blood clotting.
What teaching should be provided to a patient scheduled for a percutaneous
stereotactic rhizotomy for trigeminal neuralgia? Select all that apply.
1 Local anesthesia will be used.
2 Glycerol is injected to coat the nerve.
3 A balloon is inserted to cushion the nerve.
4 It is performed as an outpatient procedure.
5 A heating current destroys some of the nerve fibers.
Correct 4, 5
A percutaneous stereotactic rhizotomy is performed as an ambulatory care
(outpatient) procedure. A hollow needle is passed into the trigeminal nerve fibers,
, Page 2 of 70
where a heating current is used to destroy some of the nerve fibers. General, not
local, anesthesia is used. A glycerol injection is a separate procedure, as is balloon
microcompression.
A patient with congestive heart failure developed symptoms such as difficulty
breathing, sweating, and hemoptysis. The primary health care provider
prescribed furosemide. Which route would be the most effective for the
administration of the drug?
1 Oral route
2 Intramuscular route
3 Subcutaneous route
4 Intravenous direct route
Correct 4
Difficulty breathing, sweating, and hemoptysis are symptoms of pulmonary edema,
which is a complication of congestive heart failure. Pulmonary edema is an
emergency condition and the patient should be treated immediately. So, furosemide
should be administered through the intravenous direct/push route. Furosemide can
be administered through the oral, intramuscular, or subcutaneous route to reduce
vascular congestion and the workload of the heart.
In what type of sarcoma does the patient experience dull pain and swelling for
a long period?
1 Fibrosarcoma
2 Osteosarcoma
3 Ewing's sarcoma
4 Chondrosarcoma
Correct 4
A chondrosarcoma is one of the most common bone sarcomas seen in adulthood. It
is usually associated with dull pain and swelling for a long period. A fibrosarcoma is
a malignant (cancerous) tumor that originates in the connective fibrous tissue found
at the ends of the bones of the arm or legs before spreading to other surrounding
soft tissues. Pain or soreness is caused by suppressed nerves and muscles.
Osteosarcomas are the most common type of primary malignant bone tumors. The
tumor is relatively large, causing acute pain and swelling. Ewing's sarcoma is not as
common as other tumors; it is the most malignant. Like other primary tumors, it
causes pain and swelling but also leucocytosis and a low-grade fever.

What type of foot disorder appears as a bump on the side of the big toe?
1 Hammertoe
2 Hallux valgus
3 Plantar fasciitis
4 Morton's neuroma
Correct 2
A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus or hallux abducto valgus) is often
described as a bump on the side of the big toe. A hammertoe occurs due to the
pressure of poorly fitting shoes; the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint becomes
disfigured and permanently bends to the side. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most
common causes of heel pain; it involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of
tissue, called the plantar fascia, which runs along the bottom of the foot and
connects the heel bone to the toes. Morton's neuroma is an injury to the nerve
between the toes, which causes pain. The injury happens due to the growth of a
small tumor in the digital nerve of the foot.
The nursing instructor is teaching a group of nursing students about
emergency care for extremity fractures. What statement made by a participant
indicates a need for further teaching?
1 "I should not apply direct pressure on the affected area."
2 "I should not remove the patient's shoes."
3 "I should cut the clothing over the affected area."
4 "I should apply a splint above and below the fracture."
Correct 1
During emergency care for an extremity fracture, direct pressure should be applied
on the affected area to prevent bleeding. The patient's shoes must not be taken off
as it can increase the trauma. The clothing over the affected area is cut or removed
to inspect the area for the extent of damage and to check for bleeding. The upper
and lower end of the injury should be supported and splinted to immobilize the
extremity.
The nurse is assessing a patient with scoliosis. What does the degree of
curvature of the spine in scoliosis signify? Select all that apply.
1 The spine is unstable if the curvature is over 50 degrees.
2 In adults, there is a progressive deviation of the spine by 5 degrees each
year.
, Page 4 of 70
3 Cardiopulmonary function is compromised if curvature is more than 60
degrees.
4 Patients are prescribed exercises if curvature is less than 50 degrees.
5 Surgical intervention is preferred if curvature is less than 50 degrees.
Correct 1, 3, 4
Scoliosis presents as a lateral curvature of the vertebral spine. If the lateral curvature
is greater than 50 degrees, it may result in an unstable spine and cardiopulmonary
function is compromised. If the curvature is less than 50 degrees, the condition can
be managed conservatively by encouraging exercises and the application of moist
heat. In adults, this disorder is progressive and may result in deviation of the spine
by one degree each year. Surgical intervention is preferred if the curvature is greater
than 50 degrees to prevent osteoarthritis, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
Which statement is true regarding a ganglion cyst? Select all that apply.
1 Ganglion cysts have malignant potential.
2 Ganglion cysts cause severe pain on palpation.
3 Ganglion cysts can rapidly disappear and recur.
4 Treatment includes the aspiration of cystic fluid with a fine needle.
5 Ganglion cysts form due to the degeneration of synovium surrounding the
tendon.
Correct 3, 4, 5
A ganglion is a round, benign cyst usually found on a wrist, foot joint, or tendon.
These cysts may rapidly disappear and then recur. The fluid within the cyst can be
aspirated through a small needle, and the ganglion can be relieved. The cyst is
formed due to the degeneration of synovium surrounding the tendon. These cysts
are benign and painless on palpation.
The patient complains to the nurse of acute pain in the 3rd and 4th toes and a
burning sensation in the web space between these toes. Which condition
would the nurse anticipate in the patient?
1 Hammertoe
2 Hallus valgus
3 Plantar fasciitis
4 Plantar digital neuritis
Correct 4
Plantar digital neuritis or Morton's neuroma occurs due to small tumor growth in the
