Extract:
Question 1 of 5
An adult male is admitted with urolithiasis. The nurse expects which orders for this client? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: Pushing fluids promotes stone passage, straining urine captures stones for analysis, and pain medication addresses colic in urolithiasis. Clean catch, catheterization, or clear liquids are not standard.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who had a myocardial infarction yesterday and received alteplase (tPA). The client's spouse asks the nurse why that medication was given. What should the nurse include when replying?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Alteplase (tP
A) is a thrombolytic drug and dissolves the clot that is blocking a coronary artery. It does not relieve pain, prevent new clots from forming, or help the heart muscle to heal.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer an injection of haloperidol decanoate (Haldol D).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Haloperidol decanoate is highly irritating to subcutaneous tissue, requiring deep IM injection into a large muscle mass to ensure proper absorption and minimize irritation. Massaging the site, using a small-gauge needle, or dividing doses is inappropriate.
Question 4 of 5
An adult is on a clear liquid diet. Which food should the nurse offer him?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Apple juice is a clear liquid, appropriate for a clear liquid diet. Milkshakes and sherbet contain dairy, and fruited gelatin may have solids, making them unsuitable.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse counsels a 70-year-old woman who comes to the outpatient clinic for a routine examination.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Excessive laxative use in a 70-year-old likely reflects overconcern with bowel function, common in elderly patients facing physical changes like constipation. There’s no evidence of anal fixation, depression, or regression in the scenario.
