Pediatric Emergency Nursing PICO Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
. A female client experiences trauma to her urinary tract during an accident. Which of the ff factors should the nurse consider while assessing the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When assessing a female client who has experienced trauma to her urinary tract, it is essential for the nurse to focus on assessment and recognition of abnormal findings. This includes assessing for signs and symptoms such as pain, blood in the urine, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, or any other unusual changes in urinary habits. These abnormal findings can help the nurse identify the extent of the trauma and provide appropriate intervention or treatment. It is crucial to prioritize the client's physical health and well-being in this situation. Factors such as sexual habits, allergies to seafood, and insurance coverage may be important in other contexts but are not directly relevant to assessing trauma to the urinary tract.
Question 2 of 5
Three days after admission Ms. CC continued to have frequent stools. Her oral intake of both fluids and solids are poor. Her physician ordered parenteral hyperalimentation. Hyperalimentation solutions are:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hyperalimentation solutions are hypertonic or hyperosmolar solutions used to provide complete nutrition intravenously when a patient is unable to receive adequate nutrition orally. These solutions contain a high concentration of glucose, amino acids, electrolytes, and essential vitamins and minerals. They are used to reverse negative nitrogen balance, provide adequate caloric intake, and promote healing and recovery in patients who are unable to eat or absorb nutrients properly. Hyperalimentation solutions are not used to increase the osmotic pressure of blood plasma (Choice A), for hydration when hemoconcentration is present (Choice B), or to treat metabolic acidosis (Choice C).
Question 3 of 5
Wilma knew that James have an adequate respiratory condition if she notices that
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An adequate respiratory condition can be indicated by a normal respiratory rate. The normal adult respiratory rate typically ranges from 12 to 20 breaths per minute. In this case, if James' respiratory rate is 18, it falls within the normal range and would suggest that his respiratory condition is adequate. Oxygen saturation levels and the presence of blood suction or secretions are important factors to consider as well, but directly assessing the respiratory rate provides a more immediate indication of respiratory status.
Question 4 of 5
Which nursing action is most appropriate for the weak patient with osteoporosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For a weak patient with osteoporosis, it is important to promote mobility and weight-bearing activities to help maintain bone strength and prevent further bone loss. Ambulating with assistance can help improve muscle strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls and fractures. Maintaining bedrest can lead to further weakness and bone loss, so it is not the most appropriate action in this case. Encouraging fluids and providing a high-protein diet are important for overall health and healing but might not directly address the specific needs of a weak patient with osteoporosis.
