Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching regarding home oxygen use for a client with emphysema who is using nasal cannula and portable oxygen tank. Which of the following statements by the client would require follow-up? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Rationale: Oxygen therapy is commonly prescribed to improve oxygenation for clients with (or at risk for) hypoxia (eg, emphysema) and to promote comfort in clients receiving palliative/hospice care. Clients requiring long-term oxygen therapy may be prescribed portable oxygen delivery (ie, home oxygen therapy) to allow increased independence in daily life.
Question 2 of 5
A client comes into the community health center upset and crying stating 'I will die of cancer now that I have this disease.' And then the client hands the nurse a paper with one word written on it: 'Pheochromocytoma.' Which response should the nurse state initially?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pheochromocytomas usually aren't cancerous (malignant). But they may be associated with cancerous tumors in other parts of the body, providing reassurance and accurate information to alleviate the client's fear.
Question 3 of 5
While caring for a toddler with croup, which initial sign of croup requires the nurse's immediate attention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Respiratory rate of 42. An elevated respiratory rate indicates potential airway obstruction, requiring urgent intervention.
Question 4 of 5
A client started a 24-hour urine collection test at 6:00 AM. The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) reports discarding a urine specimen of 250 mL at 10:00 AM by mistake but adding all specimens to the collection container before and after that time. What action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Discarding a specimen invalidates the 24-hour collection, requiring a restart to ensure accurate results. Adding volume, restarting mid-collection, or relabeling compromise test integrity.
