Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse prepares a 25-year-old woman for a cesarean section.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Preoperative medication for a cesarean section includes reduced amounts of narcotics to minimize respiratory depression in the newborn due to placental transfer. Sedatives and hypnotics are typically used in similar doses as in general surgery, and the overall dosage is not necessarily lower.
Question 2 of 5
Which one of the following rights is included in the Patient's Bill of Rights?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Patient's Bill of Rights includes the right to confidentiality. Continuity, privacy, and advance directives are important but not explicitly listed as primary rights.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is 6 hours postoperative after an appendectomy. Which of the following findings would be of GREATest concern to the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A temperature of 100.8°F 6 hours post-appendectomy suggests infection, possibly from perforation or abscess, requiring immediate evaluation. Options A, C, and D are expected: heart rate 88 is normal, absent bowel sounds are typical post-surgery, and moderate pain is common.
Question 4 of 5
The LPN/LVN is caring for an adult who has pneumonia. The nurse should instruct the nursing assistant to report which information immediately?

Rationale: Restlessness may indicate hypoxia in pneumonia, a critical symptom requiring immediate reporting to assess oxygenation status.
