Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing a series of educational workshops for caregivers of older clients interested in promoting the health and well-being of their clients. Which would be appropriate topics for this group? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 1. Fall prevention: One of the common risks for older clients is falling, which can lead to serious injuries. Educating caregivers on fall prevention strategies can help them create a safe environment for their clients and reduce the risk of falls.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a premature infant diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Which medication should the nurse anticipate administering to this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Indomethacin is a medication commonly used to treat patent ductus arteriosus (PD
A) in premature infants. PDA is a condition where the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta, fails to close after birth. Indomethacin works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, which helps to promote closure of the ductus arteriosus. This medication is often used in premature infants with PDA to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Propranolol is a beta-blocker used for different conditions, antibiotics are used to treat infections, and Prostaglandin E1 is used to maintain ductal patency in certain cardiac conditions where closure is not desired.

Question 4 of 5
Which nursing intervention related to perfusion can be performed independently?
Correct Answer: C

The nurse can educate the patient on various relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation to help optimize perfusion levels. Additionally, teaching relaxation techniques empowers the patient to actively participate in their care and improve their overall well-being.
