Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A 21-year-old woman at 16 -weeks gestation undergoes an amniocentesis. The client asks the nurse what the physician will learn from this procedure. The nurse's response should be based on an understanding that which of the following conditions can be detected by this Test ?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: maternal antibodies destroy fetal RBCs; bilirubin secreted because of hemolysis
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of peripheral artery disease.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Intermittent claudication (leg pain with activity, relieved by rest) is a hallmark of peripheral artery disease due to reduced blood flow. Warm skin and swelling suggest venous issues, and arm numbness is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing a five-year-old child for surgery.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In cases of joint legal custody, consent from either parent is sufficient for surgical procedures. Since the mother has signed the informed consent, no further action is needed, and the nurse should continue preoperative preparation. Notifying the physician, informing surgery, or contacting the father is unnecessary.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is to move a client up in bed without any help. Where should the nurse place the client's pillow?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing the pillow at the head of the bed supports the client's head after moving up, ensuring comfort and proper positioning.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is developing a meal plan that would provide the maximum possible amount of iron for a child with anemia. Which dinner menu would be best?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Iron rich foods include red meat, fish, egg yolks, green leafy vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and dried fruits such as raisins. This dinner is the best choice. It is high in iron and is appropriate for a toddler.
