Nurse Gail places a client in a four-point restraint following orders from the physician. The client care plan should include:
-
Assess temperature frequently.
-
Provide diversional activities.
-
Check circulation every 15-30 minutes.
-
Socialize with other patients once a shift.
Correct Answer
A. Check circulation every 15-30 minutes.Explanation

Do nothing.
-
Invert the vial and let it stand for 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Shake the vial vigorously.
-
Roll the vial gently between the palms.
Correct Answer

A newly admitted female client was diagnosed with agranulocytosis. The nurse formulates which priority nursing diagnosis?
-
Constipation
-
Diarrhea
-
Risk for infection
-
Deficient knowledge
Correct Answer
A. Risk for infectionExplanation
Agranulocytosis is characterized by a reduced number of leukocytes (leucopenia) and neutrophils (neutropenia) in the blood. The client is at high risk for infection because of the decreased body defenses against microorganisms. Deficient knowledge related to the nature of the disorder may be appropriate diagnosis but is not the priority.Rate this question:

The nurse prepares to administer a cleansing enema. What is the most common client position used for this procedure?
-
Lithotomy
-
Supine
-
Prone
-
Sims’ left lateral
Correct Answer
A. Sims’ left lateralExplanation
The Sims' left lateral position is the most common position used to administer a cleansing enema because it allows gravity to aid the flow of fluid along the curve of the sigmoid colon. If the client can't assume this position nor has poor sphincter control, the dorsal recumbent or right lateral position may be used. The supine and prone positions are inappropriate and uncomfortable for the client.Rate this question:

The doctor orders hourly urine output measurement for a postoperative male client. The nurse Trish records the following amounts of output for 2 consecutive hours: 8 a.m.: 50 ml; 9 a.m.: 60 ml. Based on these amounts, which action should the nurse take?
-
Increase the I.V. fluid infusion rate
-
Irrigate the indwelling urinary catheter
-
Notify the physician
-
Continue to monitor and record hourly urine output
Correct Answer
A. Continue to monitor and record hourly urine outputExplanation
Normal urine output for an adult is approximately 1 ml/minute (60 ml/hour). Therefore, this client's output is normal. Beyond continued evaluation, no nursing action is warranted.Rate this question:

-
Ask the client to obtain the specimen after breakfast.
-
Use a sterile plastic container for obtaining the specimen.
-
Provide tissues for expectoration and obtaining the specimen.
Correct Answer
A. Use a sterile plastic container for obtaining the specimen.Explanation
Sputum specimens for culture and sensitivity testing need to be obtained using sterile techniques because the test is done to determine the presence of organisms. If the procedure for obtaining the specimen is not sterile, then the specimen is not sterile, then the specimen would be contaminated and the results of the test would be invalid.Rate this question:

Nurse Ron is assisting with transferring a client from the operating room table to a stretcher. To provide safety to the client, the nurse should:
-
Moves the client rapidly from the table to the stretcher.
-
Uncovers the client completely before transferring to the stretcher.
-
Secures the client safety belts after transferring to the stretcher.
-
Instructs the client to move self from the table to the stretcher.
Correct Answer
A. Secures the client safety belts after transferring to the stretcher.Explanation
During the transfer of the client after the surgical procedure is complete, the nurse should avoid exposure of the client because of the risk for potential heat loss. Hurried movements and rapid changes in the position should be avoided because these predispose the client to hypotension. At the time of the transfer from the surgery table to the stretcher, the client is still affected by the effects of the anesthesia; therefore, the client should not move self. Safety belts can prevent the client from falling off the stretcher.Rate this question:

Informing the client that the transfusion usually take 1 ½ to 2 hours.
-
Documenting blood administration in the client care record.
-
Assessing the client’s vital signs when the transfusion ends.
Correct Answer
A. Instructing the client to report any itching, swelling, or dyspnea.Explanation
Because administration of blood or blood products may cause serious adverse effects such as allergic reactions, the nurse must monitor the client for these effects. Signs and symptoms of life-threatening allergic reactions include itching, swelling, and dyspnea. Although the nurse should inform the client of the duration of the transfusion and should document its administration, these actions are less critical to the client's immediate health. The nurse should assess vital signs at least hourly during the transfusion.Rate this question:

Cover the client, place the call light within reach, and answer the phone call.
-
Finish the bed bath before answering the phone call.
-
Leave the client’s door open so the client can be monitored and the nurse can answer the phone call.

-
“Digoxin .125 mg P.O. once daily”
Correct Answer
A. “Digoxin 0.125 mg P.O. once daily”Explanation
The nurse should always place a zero before a decimal point so that no one misreads the figure, which could result in a dosage error.

The physician prescribes meperidine (Demerol), 75 mg I.M. every 4 hours as needed, to control a client’s postoperative pain. The package insert is “Meperidine, 100 mg/ml.” How many milliliters of meperidine should theclient receive?
-
0.75
-
0.6
-

-
0.25
Correct Answer
A. 0.75Explanation
To determine the number of milliliters the client should receive, the nurse uses the fraction method in the following equation.
75 mg/X ml = 100 mg/1 ml
To solve for X, cross-multiply:
75 mg x 1 ml = X ml x 100 mg
75 = 100X
75/100 = X

The physician orders dextrose 5 % in water, 1,000 ml to be infused over 8 hours. The I.V. tubing delivers 15 drops/ml. Nurse John should run the I.V. infusion at a rate of:
-
30 drops/minute
-
32 drops/minute

-
Increased appetite
-
Loss of urge to defecate
