Question 2 of 5
A family has been notified that their son is brain dead, and the physician has discussed the possibility of donating organs. The nurse should collaborate with the physician to contact which referral source that is responsible for organ recovery in the United States?
Correct Answer: A

Question 3 of 5
The nurse assists the physician in inserting a temporary pacemaker into the client. After the procedure, the nurse should verify that which of the following has been documented?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Documenting the pacemaker rate, type, and settings is critical to ensure proper function and patient safety post-procedure. While cardiovascular status and sedation are important, the pacemaker specifics are the priority for verification.
Question 4 of 5
A client with a history of heart failure is prescribed losartan (Cozaar). The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following side effects?
Correct Answer: A

Question 5 of 5
A client had a positive Papanicolaou smear and underwent cryosurgery with laser therapy. What information should the nurse provide the client as a part of discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cryosurgery is a procedure that involves freezing cervical tissues. Vaginal discharge should be clear and watery after the procedure. There is mild pain after the procedure, but opioid analgesics would not be required. Tub and sitz baths are avoided while the area is healing, which takes about 10 weeks. The client will begin to slough off dead cell debris, which may be odorous. This resolves within approximately 8 weeks.
