A 53-year-old perimenopausal female broke her wrist after falling from a ladder. She reports
no health concerns other than intermittent fatigue, insomnia, and hot flashes. What

B."Weren't you using caution on the ladder?"
C."What kinds of foods you usually eat?"
D."Are you currently taking any drugs or supplements?"
E."Is there a family history of heart disease?" - ANS :ANS: A, C, D, E
Healthy lifestyle habits can reduce the severity and incidence of perimenopausal symptoms.
Routine exercise decreases bone loss and improves mood and cognitive function. Proper
nutrition is also important in the management of blood sugar, weight, and treatment of bone
calcium loss associated with menopause. It is also important to inquire about the cardiac
history and medication history, including over-the-counter medications, when conducting a

health history of a middle-aged woman. Asking about using caution on the ladder is
inappropriate and would likely be perceived as rude.
The nurse is caring for a 24-year old female client who is menstruating reports running a
temperature and aching for 2 days, and having "a sunburn". Which nursing action is
appropriate?
A.Contact the health care provider
B.Apply aloe vera to the sunburned area
C.Administer acetaminophen as prescribed
D.Recommend increasing fluids and resting - ANS :ANS: A
This client may be at risk for toxic shock syndrome. Symptoms include fever (which remains
elevated despite treatment), diffuse macular rash (which often resembles a sunburn),
myalgias, and hypotension. The health care provider must be notified, as TSS can lead to
death if left untreated. All other options delay treatment and do not address the priority
problem.
Which client does the nurse identify as most likely to experience renal compromise assessed
by decreased urine production?
A.12-year history of diabetes mellitus

C.Recent history of myocardial infarction
D.Blood pressure of 92/48 mm Hg for 12 hours - ANS :ANS: D
The ability of the kidneys to self-regulate renal blood pressure and renal blood flow keeps the
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) constant. A blood pressure of 92/48 mm Hg is a mean arterial
pressure of 62 mm Hg. The kidney has a difficult time regulating GFR with a mean arterial
blood pressure less than 65 mm Hg.
A client with kidney failure whose pulse oximeter reading is 96% reports dyspnea. The nurse
assesses that the client is visibly distressed, with a respiration rate of 32 breaths/minute. What
is the appropriate nursing intervention?
A.Notify the respiratory therapist.
B.Contact the health care provider.
C.Administer oxygen by nasal cannula.
D.Elevate the head of bed to 90 degrees. - ANS :ANS: C
Clients with kidney failure are anemic because they cannot produce the hormone
erythropoietin. A high oxygen saturation in an anemic client who is showing signs of
respiratory distress may still be hypoxemic. Clients who have decreased hemoglobin could
have a high percentage of the hemoglobin saturated with oxygen, but because they have a
decreased hemoglobin level, not enough oxygen is provided. Administering oxygen is
necessary.

A client with a history of kidney disease is admitted with acute shoulder pain. Which order will
the nurse discuss with the prescribing health care provider?
A.Digoxin 0.125 mg by mouth daily
B.Metoprolol 50 mg by mouth twice daily
C.Pan cultures for a temperature >38.5º C
D.Ibuprofen 800 mg by mouth every 4 hours - ANS :ANS: D
High-dose or long-term use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can seriously
reduce kidney function, so the nurse will discuss this with the prescribing health care provider.
The nurse has placed an indwelling urinary catheter via sterile technique into a client. The
nurse recognizes that it is how long before bacterial colonization begins?
A.12 hours
B.24 hours
C.48 hours
72 hours - ANS :ANS: C
Within 48 hours of catheter insertion, bacterial colonization along the urethra and the
catheter itself begins. Risks for infection associated with a catheter increases 3%-10% per day
the catheter is in place (Ferguson, 2018).
