Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a Venturi mask. What is an important nursing intervention for this client?
Correct Answer: B

Question 3 of 5
When does the heart receives blood from the coronary artery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Coronary arteries fill during diastole e.g., when the heart relaxes, aortic pressure pushes blood in. Systole (contraction), valve opening/closing (timing) differ. Nurses understand this e.g., in angina for perfusion timing, per cardiac cycle physiology.
Question 4 of 5
The physician writes an order for 'progressive ambulation, as tolerated.' The RN writes an order for 'Dangle for 5 min. 12 h post op and stand at bedside 24 h post op.' The LVN assigned to care for this client should do which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For an LVN following orders for progressive ambulation, checking vital signs before dangling or standing is essential to ensure client safety. Post-operative clients may experience instability like low blood pressure making assessment critical before activity. Calling the physician or State Board is unnecessary unless orders conflict, and client agreement alone doesn't guarantee safety. This action aligns with the LVN's role in monitoring and implementing care, preventing complications like syncope while adhering to the RN's specific directives.

C), a hopelessness in divine connection. Spiritual anger (
A) involves rage at God, not emptiness. Loss (
