Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A male client was involved in a motor vehicle accident earlier in the day. The nurse caring for him on evenings notices that on admission to the hospital, he lost a lot of blood and required multiple blood transfusions. The nurse would anticipate which blood product would be ordered when a large blood loss has occurred?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Whole blood is the transfusion component of choice when large volumes of blood need to be replaced. Whole blood contains all blood components that are lost during active bleeding.

Question 2 of 5

The physician has ordered atropine sulfate 0.4 milligrams IM before surgery. The medication is supplied in 0.8 milligrams per milliliter. How much medication should the nurse prepare to administer?

Correct Answer: 0.5

Rationale:
To calculate: 0.4 mg desired ÷ 0.8 mg/mL = 0.5 mL. The nurse should prepare 0.5 mL of atropine sulfate.

Question 3 of 5

A client is admitted to the unit two hours after an explosion causes burns to the face. The nurse would be most concerned with the client developing which of the following?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Facial burns can cause swelling and laryngeal edema compromising the airway within hours. This is the most immediate life-threatening concern. Hypovolemia hypernatremia and hyperkalemia are also risks but are less urgent in the first two hours.

Question 4 of 5

A 28-year-old multigravida has class II heart disease. At her prenatal visit at 34 weeks' gestation, all of the following observations are made. Which would require intervention?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: This is not an excessive weight gain indicative of fluid retention. The blood pressure is within normal range. Showering should not cause shortness of breath. This could be a sign of cardiac decompensation. Dependent ankle edema is normal late in the day among pregnant women. Progressive edema would be a dangerous development.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is teaching a client with Parkinson's disease ways to prevent curvatures of the spine associated with the disease. To prevent spinal flexion, the nurse should tell the client to:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Lying prone without a pillow helps counteract the forward flexion posture common in Parkinson's disease, reducing spinal curvature. The other positions do not effectively prevent flexion.
