Question 1 of 5
Which is an important consideration when the nurse is discussing enuresis with the parents of a young child?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An important consideration when the nurse is discussing enuresis with the parents of a young child is that organic causes related to enuresis should be considered first. Enuresis, or bedwetting, can have various causes including physical issues like urinary tract infections, constipation, or structural abnormalities. It is essential to rule out any underlying medical conditions before addressing behavioral or psychological factors. By focusing on organic causes first, healthcare providers can ensure that the child receives appropriate evaluation and treatment, leading to better outcomes.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is directed to administer a hypotonic intravenous solution. The nurse expects that compensatory mechanisms associated with hypovolemia would cause all of the following symptoms except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypotonic solutions have lower osmolarity compared to the intracellular fluid, causing water to move into the cells by osmosis. This can lead to further swelling of the cells in the body. In the case of hypovolemia, the body is already experiencing a deficit of fluid and electrolytes, so administering a hypotonic solution like 0.90% sodium chloride would further exacerbate cellular swelling and potentially lead to cellular damage.
Therefore, using 0.90% sodium chloride as a compensatory mechanism for hypovolemia would not be appropriate.
Question 3 of 5
A patient returns from surgery ff. a TURP with a three-way Foley catheter and continuous bladder irrigation. Postoperative orders include Meperidine (Demerol) 75 mg IM q3h as needed for pain, belladonna and opium (B&O) suppository q4h as needed, and strict I&O. the patient complains of painful bladder spasms, and the nurse observes blood-tinged urine on the sheets. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should notify the physician stat in this situation. The presence of blood-tinged urine and painful bladder spasms in a patient with a three-way Foley catheter and continuous bladder irrigation post TURP could indicate a potential complication such as hemorrhage or clot retention. It is crucial to ensure prompt medical evaluation and intervention to address these issues effectively. Waiting or administering pain medication without further assessment could delay necessary treatment and lead to worsening of the patient's condition.
Therefore, notifying the physician immediately is the most appropriate action in this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
For most children with enuresis, the only test recommended is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Urinalysis is the standard initial test for evaluating enuresis to rule out urinary tract infections or other conditions.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse should include which of the following in preprocedure teaching for a patient scheduled for carotid angiography?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: It is important for the nurse to include in preprocedure teaching for a patient scheduled for carotid angiography the information that the patient may feel a burning sensation when the dye is injected. This information helps prepare the patient for a common sensation during the procedure, reducing anxiety and promoting patient understanding and cooperation. Providing this education enhances the patient's overall experience and enables them to better cope with the procedure. The other options are not accurate or complete in providing necessary preprocedure information for the patient.
