Question 3 of 5
Veronica's parents were told that their daughter needs ribavirin (Virazole). This drug is used to treat which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ribavirin (Virazole) is an antiviral medication used to treat severe cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in infants, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. RSV is a common virus that causes respiratory infections in people of all ages, but it can be particularly severe in young children and individuals with weakened immune systems. Ribavirin works by preventing the virus from replicating and spreading further in the body, helping to reduce the severity and duration of RSV infection. It is not used to treat cystic fibrosis, otitis media, or bronchitis.
Question 4 of 5
A Jewish client has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. A nursing diagnosis appropriate for a client who has ulcerative colitis is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Among the given choices, the nursing diagnosis appropriate for a client with ulcerative colitis is "abdominal pain related to decreased peristalsis." Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that directly affects the lining of the colon and rectum, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stool. Decreased peristalsis occurs in patients with ulcerative colitis, resulting in abdominal pain due to inflammation and irritation of the intestines. This pain is a common symptom experienced by individuals with ulcerative colitis and can significantly impact their quality of life. Therefore, addressing the client's abdominal pain is crucial in providing effective nursing care for someone diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
Question 5 of 5
A client with a history of cardiac dysrhythmias is admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of dehydration. The nurse should anticipate that the physician will order;
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A client with a history of cardiac dysrhythmias and dehydration requires careful monitoring and management of fluid and electrolyte balance. The most appropriate intervention for rapid correction of dehydration in this scenario is a rapid IV infusion of an electrolyte and glucose solution. This method allows for the quick replacement of fluids and essential electrolytes to restore the client's hydration status efficiently and effectively. Administering fluids orally may not be adequate in this situation, and NG replacement of fluids and nutrients may not be necessary if the client's condition can be managed through IV therapy. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate choice for this client.
