Question 3 of 5
The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is bathing a client who is comatose and the radio is playing current rock music. The client has tachycardia and elevated blood pressure. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Baroque music (slow, calming) may reduce tachycardia and BP in a comatose client, per music therapy principles. No action ignores symptoms, medication is premature, and repositioning is unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
Which laboratory result warrants immediate intervention by the nurse for the female client diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Elevated WBC (15,000) suggests infection or flare in SLE, requiring immediate intervention due to immunosuppression.
Question 5 of 5
Which intervention should the circulating nurse implement for the preoperative elderly client who is anxious and diaphoretic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Soft, slow music reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation in the OR, safe for an elderly client. Rapid breaths worsen anxiety, talking may not suffice, and opening doors breaks asepsis.
