Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who had a transurethral resection of the prostate yesterday.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A urine output of 150 cc over 8 hours is critically low, indicating possible obstruction, bleeding, or renal impairment, requiring immediate intervention. Bladder spasms, bright red urine with clots, and burning are expected post-procedure but should be monitored.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV ceftriaxone for a urinary tract infection. Which of the following findings should the nurse report immediately?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A temperature of 100.8°F suggests worsening infection, requiring immediate reporting. Options A, C, and D are normal or less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A woman has been recently diagnosed with systemic lupus and shares with the nurse, 'I am thinking about getting pregnant, but I don't know how I will be able to tolerate a pregnancy since I have lupus.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should assess the duration of remission, as women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) should be in remission for at least 5 months before conceiving to minimize risks of maternal and fetal complications. Pregnancy does not typically improve SLE symptoms, gestation length is unaffected, and early pregnancy post-diagnosis is not recommended.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is to perform a routine blood glucose check on a diabetic client before administering insulin. Which action is correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Puncturing the finger's side avoids nerve-rich areas, ensuring accurate and less painful glucose testing.
Question 5 of 5
Which diagnosis for the client with tuberculosis would have the greatest impact on public health?

Rationale: Deficient knowledge about TB transmission risks public health by increasing spread, requiring education to ensure compliance with treatment and precautions.
