    Which of the following would you include in teaching a female patient on how to collect a clean-catch midstream urine specimen? - ProProfs

    Which of the following would you include in teaching a female patient on how to collect a clean-catch midstream urine specimen?

    • Remove the lid of the specimen container, and place the lid facing down a flat surface.

    • Wipe down one side of the perineal care with the first towelette, down the other side the second towelette, and down the middle with the third towelette.

    • Void directly into the specimen container without discarding any urine.

    • Keep the urine specimen warm and bring it to the physician's office immediately.

    Correct Answer
    A. Wipe down one side of the perineal care with the first towelette, down the other side the second towelette, and down the middle with the third towelette.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to wipe down one side of the perineal area with the first towelette, down the other side with the second towelette, and down the middle with the third towelette. This is important for ensuring cleanliness and reducing the risk of contamination during the collection of a clean-catch midstream urine specimen. By wiping the perineal area in this manner, any potential bacteria or contaminants are removed, allowing for a more accurate urine sample.

    You just inserted a nasogastric tube. Which of the following is NOT a correct way to check correct placement of the tube? - ProProfs

    You just inserted a nasogastric tube. Which of the following is NOT a correct way to check correct placement of the tube?

    • Follow the MD order for an Xray to confirm placement

    • Checking the pH of GI contents to be at 1 - 3.5

    • Obtaining a sample of GI contents through the tube by aspirating

    • Administering a 100 cc water, flush and assess for coughing

    Correct Answer
    A. Administering a 100 cc water, flush and assess for coughing
    Explanation
    Administering a 100 cc water flush and assessing for coughing is not a correct way to check the correct placement of a nasogastric tube. Coughing indicates that the tube may be in the respiratory tract rather than the gastrointestinal tract. Checking the pH of GI contents, obtaining a sample of GI contents through aspiration, and following the MD order for an X-ray are all appropriate methods to confirm the correct placement of the tube.

    Which of the following is the most common type of urine sample and can be taken at any time of the day? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is the most common type of urine sample and can be taken at any time of the day?

    • Timed urine specimen

    • Random urine specimen

    • First morning urine specimen

    • Regularly catch midstream urine specimen

    Correct Answer
    A. Random urine specimen
    Explanation
    A random urine specimen is the most common type of urine sample as it can be taken at any time of the day without any specific timing requirements. It is convenient and does not require any special preparation or timing instructions. This type of sample is often used for routine testing and screening purposes.

    Residual urine is: - ProProfs

    Residual urine is:

    • The leakage of urine despite voluntary control of urination

    • Urine that is collected over a 24- hour period

    • The measurement of urine remaining in the bladder after voiding.

    • Urine that is normally voided.

    Correct Answer
    A. The measurement of urine remaining in the bladder after voiding.
    Explanation
    Residual urine refers to the urine that remains in the bladder after a person has emptied their bladder through urination. This measurement is important in diagnosing bladder dysfunction or urinary retention. It is not related to leakage of urine or the collection of urine over a 24-hour period.

    A patient with a fully obstructed upper airway has displaced his tracheostomy tube. Which of the following is NOT a step your would take while replacing the tube? - ProProfs

    A patient with a fully obstructed upper airway has displaced his tracheostomy tube. Which of the following is NOT a step your would take while replacing the tube?

    • Test the new tracheostomy tube's cuff prior to insertion

    • Place a pillow under the patient's shoulders t o extend his neck

    • Secure the new tube with new tracheal ties

    • Supplement oxygen using an adult non-rebreather mask

    Correct Answer
    A. Supplement oxygen using an adult non-rebreather mask
    Explanation
    Supplementing oxygen using an adult non-rebreather mask is not a step that would be taken while replacing the tracheostomy tube. The focus should be on securing the new tube and ensuring proper placement, rather than providing supplemental oxygen.

    A(n) ___________________ catheter is used to collect specimens or to instill medications. - ProProfs

    A(n) ___________________ catheter is used to collect specimens or to instill medications.

    • Splitting

    • Retention

    • Straight

    • Urethral

    Correct Answer
    A. Straight
    Explanation
    A straight catheter is used to collect specimens or to instill medications. This type of catheter has a straight shape, allowing for easy insertion into the urethra. It is commonly used in medical procedures to collect urine samples or to administer medications directly into the bladder. The straight design of the catheter allows for efficient and effective collection or instillation of substances.

    A urine specimen that is obtained either through a voided specimen or catheterization is a: - ProProfs

    A urine specimen that is obtained either through a voided specimen or catheterization is a:

    • Random urine specimen

    • Clean catch midstream urine specimen

    • First morning urine specimen

    • 24 hour urine specimen

    Correct Answer
    A. Clean catch midstream urine specimen
    Explanation
    A clean catch midstream urine specimen is obtained by the patient after cleaning the genital area and then collecting a sample midstream during urination. This method helps to minimize contamination from the external genitalia and provides a more accurate representation of the patient's urine. It is commonly used for routine urinalysis and urine culture testing.

    Your patient has a PEG tube and you are about to administer a feeding. While checking residual, you obtain 95 ml of stomach contents. What would be your next nursing intervention? - ProProfs

    Your patient has a PEG tube and you are about to administer a feeding. While checking residual, you obtain 95 ml of stomach contents. What would be your next nursing intervention?

    • Administer the scheduled feeding

    • Wait 30 minutes and reassess residual after

    • Skip the scheduled feeding and administer the next feeding due in 6 hours

    • Hold the feeding and immediately notify the MD of the assessed amount of residual volume

    Correct Answer
    A. Wait 30 minutes and reassess residual after
    Explanation
    After obtaining a residual volume of 95 ml, the next nursing intervention would be to wait 30 minutes and reassess the residual after. This is because a residual volume of 95 ml indicates that there is a significant amount of food remaining in the stomach, which may increase the risk of aspiration if the feeding is administered immediately. Waiting and reassessing the residual after 30 minutes allows for more accurate determination of gastric emptying and helps in deciding whether to proceed with the feeding or not.

    Which of the following would you include when collecting a 24-hour urine specimen? - ProProfs

    Which of the following would you include when collecting a 24-hour urine specimen?

    • Tell the patient to collect all urine starting with the first voided specimen

    • Encourage the patient to use bedpan

    • Explain to the patient that the small collection container must not be washed between uses

    • Specimen should be covered and in the refrigerator throughout the test

    Correct Answer
    A. Specimen should be covered and in the refrigerator throughout the test
    Explanation
    When collecting a 24-hour urine specimen, it is important to keep the specimen covered and in the refrigerator throughout the test. This is necessary to prevent the growth of bacteria or the breakdown of certain substances in the urine that could affect the accuracy of the test results. Refrigeration helps to maintain the stability of the urine specimen until it can be properly analyzed in the laboratory.
