Question 1 of 5
A 14-month-old child has a severe diaper rash. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse provide to the parents?

Correct Answer: A, B, D, F
Rationale: For hyperemesis gravidarum, a nutritionist referral, antiemetic prescription, gradual return to routine, and discussing discharge instructions are essential. Anxiolytics may not be indicated, and a 6-week follow-up is too delayed.

You are caring for a multiple trauma client who has just arrived at the emergency room with a number of other external disaster victims. This client has multiple blast injuries and hypovolemic shock; it is anticipated that this unstable critically injured and unconscious client will have long term intravenous therapy, blood products and possibly hyperalimentation as well. Which type of venous access would you most likely anticipate for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A multi-lumen tunneled and cuffed central venous catheter is ideal for long-term therapy due to its durability and lower infection risk.

The nurse is caring for a client with a history of multiple sclerosis. Which of the following interventions should be included in the plan of care?

Question 5 of 5
A client has been given a prescription for propantheline as adjunctive treatment for peptic ulcer disease. How should the nurse tell the client to take this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Propantheline is an antimuscarinic anticholinergic medication that decreases gastrointestinal secretions. It should be administered 30 minutes before meals to reduce acid secretion before food intake stimulates gastric acid production. Administering with meals or just after meals would reduce its effectiveness, and taking it with antacids could interfere with its absorption.
