Question 1 of 5
A nurse admits a 3 week-old infant to the special care nursery with a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. As the nurse reviews the birth history, which data would be most consistent with this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The infant received mechanical ventilation for 2 weeks. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is often caused by prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for clients in outpatient surgery.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a four-year-old, using dolls or puppets to demonstrate the procedure in simple terms is developmentally appropriate, addressing what the child will experience (see, hear, feel). Drawing pictures or reading books is better for school-aged children, and time concepts like one hour are not relatable to preschoolers.
Question 3 of 5
A client whose father died from Huntington's chorea asks what the chances are that he will develop the disease. The nurse knows that the chances of the client developing the disease are:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Huntington's disease is autosomal dominant; with one affected parent, the client has a 50% chance of inheriting the gene and developing the disease.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client with a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes about glipizide (Glucotrol). Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Stopping glipizide when blood sugar is normal is incorrect, as type 2 diabetes requires ongoing treatment to maintain control. Options A, B, and C are correct: pre-breakfast dosing maximizes efficacy, alcohol increases hypoglycemia risk, and sweating/shakiness indicate hypoglycemia.
