Question 1 of 5

The client is admitted with a diagnosis of acute leukemia. Which nursing intervention is the priority?

Correct Answer: B

Question 4 of 5

Rationale: Dark brown urine may indicate hematuria, a potential side effect of Urokinase, a thrombolytic agent. The nurse should withhold the medication and notify the physician immediately to assess for bleeding complications. Vitamin K is used for warfarin reversal, irrigation is inappropriate, and fluids won’t address the issue.

Question 5 of 5

The client is admitted to the unit with a diagnosis of abruptio placenta. Which finding is most significant when assessing this client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Abruptio placenta involves placental separation which can compromise fetal oxygenation leading to abnormal fetal heart tones (e.g. bradycardia or late decelerations). This is the most significant finding as it indicates fetal distress. Bleeding pain and rigidity are relevant but secondary to fetal well-being.
