NGN:
A nurse is reviewing the medical records of four clients. The nurse should
identify that which of the following client findings requires follow-up care?
A. A client who is scheduled for a colonoscopy and is taking sodium
phosphate.
B. A client who received a Mantoux test 48 hr ago and has an induration.
C. A client who is taking bumetanide and reports an increase in urination
D. A client who is taking warfarin and has started to breastfeed.
The correct answer is:
D. A client who is taking warfarin and has started to breastfeed.
Explanation:
A. A client who is scheduled for a colonoscopy and is taking sodium phosphate:
Sodium phosphate is a commonly used bowel preparation agent for colonoscopies.
It works as a laxative to clear the intestines. This is expected and appropriate prior to
the procedure, so it does not require follow-up care.
B. A client who received a Mantoux test 48 hr ago and has an induration: The
Mantoux test (also known as the tuberculin skin test) assesses for tuberculosis (TB)
infection. An induration (hardening) of the skin after 48 hours is a typical response,
and the size of the induration helps to determine the significance of the result.
Follow-up care is indicated if the induration is large, indicating a possible TB
infection, but this finding does not automatically require immediate follow-up without
, Page 2 of 151
more context (size of induration, client history).
C. A client who is taking bumetanide and reports an increase in urination:
Bumetanide is a loop diuretic, which works by increasing urine output. Increased
urination is a normal side effect of this medication and is generally not a cause for
concern unless it is accompanied by signs of dehydration or electrolyte imbalances.
Therefore, this does not require follow-up care unless other symptoms are present.
D. A client who is taking warfarin and has started to breastfeed: Warfarin is an
anticoagulant medication that can cross into breast milk. While it is not
contraindicated in breastfeeding, close monitoring is necessary because warfarin
can affect the newborn, and the mother's blood levels of warfarin can affect the baby.
This situation requires follow-up care to ensure that the baby is not at risk for
bleeding and that the mother's warfarin therapy is managed appropriately.
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has multiple
sclerosis. The nurse should recommend including which of the following
interventions in the plan of care to assist the client in overcoming barriers
related to this condition?
A. Establish alternatives to verbal conversation.
B. Use the numbers on a clock to describe the position of food on the client's
plate.
C. Touch the client's arm before beginning to speak.
D. Provide the client with large-handled eating utensils.
The correct answer is:
D. Provide the client with large-handled eating utensils.
Explanation:
A. Establish alternatives to verbal conversation: While clients with multiple sclerosis
(MS) may experience speech or communication difficulties, verbal communication
can still be effective for many. Rather than replacing verbal conversation, it is more
appropriate to adjust communication methods based on the client's specific
challenges. This answer is not the most helpful recommendation for MS patients.
B. Use the numbers on a clock to describe the position of food on the client's plate:
This technique is typically helpful for clients with visual deficits, such as those with
blindness or low vision, not necessarily for those with MS. MS can affect
coordination, mobility, and muscle strength, but it doesn't typically cause visual
impairments that would require this approach for eating.

C. Touch the client's arm before beginning to speak: This intervention is helpful for
individuals with hearing impairments or those who may not hear well, but it is not a
primary concern for people with MS unless they have specific hearing difficulties. It
may be useful in certain situations but does not directly address the major barriers
experienced by those with MS.
D. Provide the client with large-handled eating utensils: This is the most appropriate
intervention for MS clients. Multiple sclerosis can lead to muscle weakness, tremors,
and coordination difficulties. Providing large-handled utensils can make it easier for
the client to feed themselves by improving their grip and helping them maintain
independence during meals. This recommendation helps to overcome motor
coordination barriers often experienced in MS.
A nurse is providing teaching to a parent of a child who has varicella. Which of
the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
A. "Your child can return to school once the lesions have crusted over."
B. "Your child can return to school once the fever has subsided."
C. "Your child can return to school 24 hours after beginning antibiotics."
D. "Your child can return to school after a negative titer result."
The correct answer is:
A. "Your child can return to school once the lesions have crusted over."
Rationale:
Varicella (chickenpox) is highly contagious, and children with varicella should stay
home from school until the lesions have crusted over. This generally occurs around
5-7 days after the rash appears, and once the lesions are crusted, the child is no
longer considered contagious.
Option A is the correct recommendation because the child can return to school after
the lesions have crusted over, which indicates the contagious period has passed.
Option B is incorrect because although the fever should subside, it is not the primary
indicator for when the child can return to school. The lesions must crust over.
Option C is incorrect because antibiotics are not effective against viral infections like
varicella, and the child can't return to school based on antibiotic use.
Option D is also incorrect because a negative titer result is not relevant to
determining when a child with varicella can return to school. It's the crusting of the
lesions that is the key.

So, the best instruction for the parent is to have their child return to school once the
lesions have crusted over.
A nurse is developing a plan of care for a newborn whose mother tested
positive for heroin during pregnancy. The newborn is experiencing neonatal
abstinence syndrome. Which of the following actions should the nurse include
in the plan?
A. Maintain eye contact with the newborn during feedings.
B. Minimize noise in the newborn's environment.
C. Administer naloxone to the newborn.
D. Swaddle the newborn with his legs extended.
The correct answer is:
B. Minimize noise in the newborn's environment.
Rationale:
Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) occurs when a newborn experiences
withdrawal symptoms due to drug exposure in utero, such as heroin. The goal of
care is to reduce stimuli and provide comfort while supporting the newborn's
physiological stability.
Option B is correct because minimizing noise and providing a calm environment
helps reduce overstimulation, which can exacerbate the symptoms of NAS. Babies
with NAS are sensitive to stimuli like noise, light, and touch, so keeping the
environment quiet and calm is essential for managing their symptoms.
Option A is incorrect because while maintaining eye contact with the newborn is
important for bonding, it is not specific to managing NAS symptoms. Newborns with
NAS may become overstimulated by prolonged eye contact.
Option C is incorrect because naloxone is not typically administered to newborns for
NAS. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to reverse opioid overdose, but the
management of NAS usually involves supportive care, such as medication (like
morphine or methadone) if necessary, to manage withdrawal symptoms, not
naloxone.
Option D is incorrect because newborns with NAS often benefit from flexed positions
(like swaddling with their legs tucked in) as this can provide comfort and reduce the
startle reflex. Extending the legs could increase discomfort and agitation in the infant.
Therefore, minimizing environmental stimuli such as noise is an important step in
managing a newborn with NAS.
