Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client is admitted for removal of a goiter. Which nursing intervention should receive priority during the post-operative period?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A goiter is hyperplasia of the thyroid gland. Removal of a goiter can result in laryngeal spasms and airway occlusion. The other answers are lesser in priority.

Question 2 of 5

The family of an 88-year-old woman who was admitted with severe dehydration says to the nurse, 'Why don't you just tie down her arms so she won't try to get out her IV?' What is the best response for the nurse to make?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Assessing mental status and safety needs determines if restraints are necessary, prioritizing least restrictive measures.

Question 3 of 5

An adult is scheduled for a paracentesis. What should the nurse plan to do immediately before the procedure is started?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Emptying the bladder before paracentesis prevents accidental puncture of the bladder during needle insertion into the abdominal cavity. Water intake, bowel emptying, or sedation are not immediate pre-procedure priorities.

Question 4 of 5

Which nursing diagnosis is most appropriate for a client who has Cushing's syndrome?
