Exam 1 Med Surg 3 – Sherpath EXAM QUESTIOns and answers correct and verified 100%Exam 1 Med Surg 3 – Sherpath EXAM QUESTIOns and answers correct and verified 100% Which information from a patient who had a transurethral resection with fulguration for bladder cancer 3 days ago is most important to report to the health care provider? A. The patient is voiding every 4 hours B. The patient is using opioids for pain C. The patient has seen clots in the urine D. The patient is anxious about the cancer - correct answers-C. The patient has seen clots in the urine. Clots in the urine are not expected and require further follow-up. Voiding every 4 hours, use of opioids for pain, and anxiety are typical after this procedure. Which assessment data reported by a patient is consistent with a lower urinary tract infection (UTI)? A. Low urine output B. Bilateral flank pain C. Nausea and vomiting D. Burning on urination - correct answers-D. Burning on urination Pain with urination is a common symptom of a lower UTI. Urine output does not decrease, but frequency may be experienced. Flank pain and nausea are associated with an upper UTI. Which information will the nurse include when teaching the patient with a urinary tract infection (UTI) about the use of phenazopyridine? A. Take phenazopyridine for at least 7 days B. Phenazopyridine may cause photosensitivity C. Phenazopyridine may change the urine color D. Take phenazopyridine before sexual intercourse - correct answers-C. Phenazopyridine may change the urine color Patients should be taught that phenazopyridine will color the urine deep orange. Urinary analgesics should only be needed for a few days until the prescribed antibiotics decrease the bacterial count. Phenazopyridine does not cause photosensitivity. Taking phenazopyridine before intercourse will not be helpful in reducing the risk for UTI. After ureterolithotomy, a patient has a left ureteral catheter and a urethral catheter in place. Which action will the nurse include in the plan of care? A. Provide teaching about home care for both catheters B. Apply continuous steady tension to the ureteral catheter C. Call the health care provider if the ureteral catheter output drops suddenly D. Clamp the ureteral catheter off when output from the urethral catheter stops - correct answers-C. Call the health care provider if the ureteral catheter output drops suddenly. The health care provider should be notified if the ureteral catheter output decreases because obstruction of this catheter may result in an increase in pressure in the renal pelvis. Tension on the ureteral catheter should be avoided to prevent catheter displacement. To avoid pressure in the renal pelvis, the catheter is not clamped. Because the patient is not usually discharged with a ureteral catheter in place, patient teaching about both catheters is not needed. A patient who has had progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) for several years has just begun regular hemodialysis. Which information about diet will the nurse include in patient teaching? A. Increased calories are needed because glucose is lost during hemodialysis. B. More protein is allowed because urea and creatinine are removed by dialysis. C. Dietary potassium is not restricted because the level is normalized by dialysis. D. Unlimited fluids are allowed because retained fluid is removed during dialysis. - correct answers-B. More protein is allowed because urea and creatinine are removed by dialysis. When the patient is started on dialysis and nitrogenous wastes are removed, more protein in the diet is encouraged. Fluids are still restricted to avoid excessive weight gain and complications such as shortness of breath. Glucose is not lost during hemodialysis. Sodium and potassium intake continues to be restricted to avoid the complications associated with high levels of these electrolytes. A patient has arrived for a scheduled hemodialysis session. Which nursing action is most appropriate for the registered nurse (RN) to delegate to a dialysis technician? A. Teach the patient about fluid restrictions B. Check blood pressure before starting dialysis C. Assess for causes of an increase in predialysis weight D. Determine the ultrafiltration rate for the hemodialysis - correct answers-B. Check blood pressure before starting dialysis. Dialysis technicians are educated in monitoring for blood pressure. Assessment, adjustment of the appropriate ultrafiltration rate, and patient teaching require the education and scope of practice of an RN. The nurse will plan to teach a 27-yr-old woman who smokes two packs of cigarettes daily about the increased risk for A. Kidney Stones B. Bladder cancer C. Bladder infection D. Interstitial cystitis - correct answers-C. Bladder cancer Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for bladder cancer. The patient's risk for developing interstitial cystitis, urinary tract infection, or kidney stones will not be reduced by quitting smoking. The nurse determines that further instruction is needed for a patient with interstitial cystitis when the patient says which of the following? A. "I should stop having coffee and orange juice for breakfast." B. "I will buy calcium glycerophosphate (Prelief) at the pharmacy." C. "I will start taking high potency multiple vitamins every morning." D. "I should call the doctor about increased bladder pain or foul urine." - correct answers-C. "I will start taking high potency multiple vitamins every morning." High-potency multiple vitamins may irritate the bladder and increase symptoms. The other patient statements indicate good understanding of the teaching. Which menu choice by the patient who is receiving hemodialysis indicates that the nurse's teaching has been successful? A. Split-pea soup, English muffin, and nonfat milk B. Oatmeal with cream, half a banana, and herbal tea C. Poached eggs, whole-wheat toast, and apple juice D. Cheese sandwich, tomato soup, and cranberry juice - correct answers-C. Poached eggs, whole-wheat toast, and apple juice Poached eggs would provide high-quality protein, and apple juice is low in potassium. Cheese is high in salt and phosphate, and tomato soup is high in potassium. Split-pea soup is high in potassium, and dairy products are high in phosphate. Bananas are high in potassium, and cream is high in phosphate. Which assessment finding for a patient who has just been admitted with acute pyelonephritis is most important for the nurse to report to the health care provider? A. Complaint of flank pain B. Blood pressure 90/48 mm
