Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus. The nurse should expect the client to have:

Rationale: Systemic lupus erythematosus causes autoimmune inflammation, commonly leading to joint pain and arthritis-like symptoms.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is preparing to administer a dose of enoxaparin (Lovenox) to a client. Which injection site is most appropriate?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Enoxaparin, a low-molecular-weight heparin, is administered subcutaneously in the abdomen, 2 inches from the umbilicus, to ensure consistent absorption and minimize bruising. Muscle injections are inappropriate.

Question 3 of 5

After the RN is finished the initial assessment of a newborn baby and after the initial bonding between the newborn and the mother has taken place in the delivery room, the RN will bring the newborn to the well-baby nursery. Before the newborn is taken from the delivery room and brought to the well-baby nursery, the RN makes sure that which of the following interventions was completed?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Tagging the mother and infant with identical bands ensures proper identification, preventing mix-ups and ensuring safety.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is caring for the client who has been in a coma for two months. He has signed a donor card, but the wife is opposed to the idea of organ donation. How should the nurse handle the topic of organ donation with the wife?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Discussing organ donation with the wife while the client is still alive may cause distress, especially given her opposition. The nurse should refrain from raising the topic until after the client’s death, respecting her emotional state and hospital policy, which typically involves organ donation teams post-mortem.

Question 5 of 5

A client's transfusion of packed red blood cells has been infusing for 2 hours. She is complaining of a raised, itchy rash and shortness of breath. She is wheezing, anxious, and very restless. The nurse knows these assessment findings are congruent with:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A hemolytic transfusion reaction would be characterized by fever, chills, chest pain, hypotension, and tachypnea. Fever, chills, and headaches are indicative of a febrile transfusion reaction. Circulatory overload is manifest by dyspnea, cough, and pulmonary crackles. Urticaria, pruritus, wheezing, and anxiety are indicative of an allergic transfusion reaction.
