Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with Parkinson's disease who takes an MAOI as part of the medication regimen. Which item on the lunch tray would the nurse remove?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cheese contains tyramine, which can cause a hypertensive crisis in clients taking MAOIs. Other items are safe.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client following a transphenoidal hypophysectomy. Post-operatively, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The halo sign on the nasal dressing indicates cerebrospinal fluid leakage, a critical post-operative complication.
Question 3 of 5
As the client reaches 8cm dilation, the nurse notes a pattern on the fetal monitor that shows a drop in the fetal heart rate of 30 bpm beginning at the peak of the contraction and ending at the end of the contraction. The FHR baseline is 165-175 bpm with variability of 0-2 bpm. What is the most likely explanation of this pattern?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Late decelerations (FHR drop at contraction peak) with minimal variability suggest uteroplacental insufficiency, impairing fetal oxygenation.
Question 4 of 5
If the first day of a pregnant woman's last menstrual period fell on May 1, 2013, what is the expected delivery month and year? Record your answer using the month (word) and year (whole number).
Correct Answer: Feb-14
Rationale: Using Naegele's rule: May 1, 2013 + 7 days = May 8, then + 9 months = February 8, 2014. Answer is February 2014.
Question 5 of 5
The physician orders 1.25 L of normal saline (NS) to infuse over 10 hours. The nurse should set the IV pump at what flow rate (mL/hr)?
