Question 3 of 5
The nurse has a 2-year-old boy sit in "tailor" position during palpation for the testes. What is the rationale for this position?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The "tailor" position, also known as the frog-leg position, is used during palpation for the testes in young boys because it helps prevent the cremasteric reflex. The cremasteric reflex is a normal reflex in which the testes are pulled upwards towards the inguinal canal when the inner thigh is stroked. By having the child sit in the tailor position, with the knees pulled up and legs rotated outwards, the reflex is less likely to be elicited, allowing for a more accurate examination of the testes.
Question 4 of 5
An adult has a Hickman type central venous catheter and needs to have blood drawn from it. Which of the following should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Before drawing blood from a central venous catheter like a Hickman type, it is essential to ensure that the catheter is patent and free of any clots. Flushing the catheter with a heparinized solution (to prevent clot formation) before withdrawing blood helps clear the catheter and ensures accurate blood sample collection. Removing clots or obstructions from the catheter is crucial to prevent complications and maintain the catheter's function.
Therefore, it is important to first flush the catheter with a heparinized solution before drawing blood from it.
