Question 2 of 5
The low-exhaled volume (low-pressure) alarm sounds on a ventilator. The nurse rushes to the client's room and checks the client to determine the cause of the alarm but is unable to do so. Which would be the next immediate nursing action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A low-pressure alarm suggests a leak or disconnection; manual ventilation with a resuscitation bag (
B) ensures immediate oxygenation while troubleshooting continues. Calling teams (A, C,
D) delays airway support. B is correct.
Rationale: Manual bagging maintains ventilation, a life-saving priority per ACLS and ventilator protocols, addressing potential hypoxia swiftly.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is immunizing children against measles. This is an example of what level of preventive care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Immunizing children against measles is primary prevention, stopping disease before it occurs by boosting immunity here, via vaccines that prevent measles' highly contagious spread. This proactive step, common in clinics or schools, promotes health and averts outbreaks, aligning with nursing's focus on keeping populations well. Secondary prevention screens for early detection, like testing for measles exposure, while tertiary prevention rehabilitates after illness, such as managing measles complications. 'Chronic' isn't a prevention level. Measles shots exemplify primary care's impact decades of vaccination have slashed cases showing nursing's role in preempting illness, protecting kids before exposure, and building community health resilience through simple, effective interventions.
Question 4 of 5
When administering oxygen therapy, which intervention should the nurse prioritize to ensure the delivery of the prescribed oxygen concentration?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Monitoring oxygen saturation continuously (
C) ensures the prescribed oxygen concentration is effective, allowing real-time adjustments to maintain target SpO2. Hourly RR (
A) is indirect. Q4h flow checks (
B) miss immediate issues. Snug mask (
D) aids fit, not concentration. Continuous SpO2, per nursing protocols, guides safe delivery.
