Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A post-operative client is admitted to the post-anesthesia recovery room (PACU). The anesthetist reports that malignant hyperthermia occurred during surgery. The nurse recognizes that this complication is related to what factor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, potentially fatal adverse reaction to inhaled anesthetics. There is a genetic predisposition to this disorder.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client with an ileal conduit regarding skin care to prevent excoriation. In addition to applying a well-fitted collection bag the client should be told to empty the collection bag:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The client should be told to empty the collection bag when it is one-third full. Answer A isn't necessary or feasible, so it is incorrect. Waiting until the collection bag is half full or more as suggested in answers B and C increases the likelihood of skin exposure to urine thereby contributing to excoriation.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following statements reflects Kohlberg's theory of the moral development of the preschool-age child?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In Kohlberg's preconventional stage (preschoolers), moral behavior is driven by consequences (punishment or reward). Obedience, respect, or pleasing others reflect later stages.
Question 4 of 5
A 34-year-old male is admitted to the hospital with a possible diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Which of the following symptoms would the nurse not expect to see during an attack?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pheochromocytoma causes catecholamine release, leading to tachycardia, not bradycardia, during an attack.
Question 5 of 5
The client is to be discharged after passing a uric acid kidney stone. This is the third time the client has been hospitalized for kidney stones. The nurse should teach the client to do which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Increased fluid intake (lots of water) prevents stone formation by diluting urine. High-purine foods (meats), activity avoidance, or conditional allopurinol are incorrect.
