QUESTIONS GRADED A+
Fractured left hip nursing care - (ANSWER)The client should be lifted gently across a surface to avoid
shearing forces when repositioning.
NGT medication administration - (ANSWER)The NGT should be flushed before, after and in between
each medication administered.
Pain management in hospice care - (ANSWER)The most effective management of pain is achieved using
an around-the-clock schedule that provides analgesic medications on a regular basis.
Wrist restraints assessment - (ANSWER)If the fingers on the right hand are blue, the nurse should

Loosen the right wrist restraint - (ANSWER)The priority nursing action is to restore circulation by
loosening the restraint because blue fingers (cyanosis) indicates decreased circulation.
Apply a pulse oximeter to the right hand - (ANSWER)Pulse oximetry measures the saturation of
hemoglobin with oxygen and is not indicated in situations where the cyanosis is related to mechanical
compression (the restraints).
Compare hand color bilaterally - (ANSWER)This is an important nursing intervention, but does not have
the priority of loosening the restraint.
Palpate the right radial pulse - (ANSWER)This is also an important nursing intervention, but does not
have the priority of loosening the restraint.
A lactating woman nursing her 3-day-old infant - (ANSWER)This client has the greatest nutritional need
for additional protein intake.

It is more difficult to find a superficial vein in the feet and ankles - (ANSWER)This is one important
reason for starting intravenous infusions in the upper extremities rather than the lower extremities of
adults.
A decreased flow rate could result in the formation of a thrombosis - (ANSWER)This is another
important reason for starting intravenous infusions in the upper extremities rather than the lower
extremities of adults.
A cannulated extremity is more difficult to move when the leg or foot is used - (ANSWER)This is another
important reason for starting intravenous infusions in the upper extremities rather than the lower
extremities of adults.
Venous return - (ANSWER)Venous return is usually better in the upper extremities.
Thrombus formation - (ANSWER)Cannulation of the veins in the lower extremities increases the risk of
thrombus formation, which, if dislodged, could be life-threatening.
Superficial veins - (ANSWER)Superficial veins are often very easy to find in the feet and legs.
IV handling difficulty - (ANSWER)Handling a leg or foot with an IV is probably not any more difficult than
handling an arm or hand.
Pain consideration - (ANSWER)Pain is not a consideration when choosing the site for cannulation.
Blood pressure assessment - (ANSWER)The most important action is to ensure that an accurate BP
reading is obtained.
Correct cuff size - (ANSWER)The nurse should reassess the BP with the correct size cuff.
Thermal adaptation - (ANSWER)Thermal adaptation occurs 20 to 30 minutes after heat application.

QUESTIONS GRADED A+
Client response to heat application - (ANSWER)The body's receptors adapt over time as they are

Low density lipoproteins - (ANSWER)The low density lipoproteins need to decrease rather than increase.
Transfer procedure for elderly client - (ANSWER)The UAPs working on a chronic neuro unit ask the nurse

bed to the chair.
Right Angle Positioning - (ANSWER)Place the chair at a right angle to the bed on the client's left side
before moving.
Standing Position Assistance - (ANSWER)Assist the client to a standing position, then place the right
hand on the armrest.
Pivoting Technique - (ANSWER)Have the client place the left foot next to the chair and pivot to the left
before sitting.
Safe Transfer Method - (ANSWER)Move the chair parallel to the right side of the bed, and stand the
client on the right foot, using the client's stronger side for weight-bearing during the transfer.
