Question 3 of 5
The nurse is monitoring a client with a fracture to the left arm. Which sign observed by the nurse is consistent with impaired venous return in the area?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Impaired venous return is characterized by increasing edema. In the client with a fracture, this is most often prevented by elevating the limb. The other options identify signs of arterial damage, which can occur if the artery is contused, thrombosed, lacerated, or becomes spastic.
Question 4 of 5
While obtaining the vital signs on a mother who delivered a healthy newborn 2 hours ago the nurse notes that the mother's temperature is 102°F. Which is the appropriate nursing action at this time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vital signs usually return to normal within the first hour postpartum if no complications arise. A slight elevation in the temperature may be noted if the client is experiencing dehydrating effects that can occur from labor. A temperature of 102°F indicates infection, and the primary health care provider should be notified. The remaining options are inaccurate nursing interventions for a temperature of 102°F 2 hours after delivery.
