Question 4 of 5
Which of the following nursing interventions is appropriate after a lumbar puncture?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After a lumbar puncture, it is important to have the patient lie flat for 6 to 8 hours to help prevent leakage of cerebrospinal fluid. Keeping the patient in this position can reduce the risk of developing a post-lumbar puncture headache. It allows the tiny hole created in the dura to seal properly and helps maintain proper cerebrospinal fluid pressure. This intervention is essential for the patient's safety and optimal recovery following a lumbar puncture procedure.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse notes that a child has lost 8 pounds after 4 days of hospitalization for acute glomerulonephritis. What is most likely the cause of the weight loss?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The child most likely lost 8 pounds due to a reduction of edema. Acute glomerulonephritis is a condition that can lead to significant fluid retention in the body, causing edema (swelling). When the child was hospitalized and received treatment, such as diuretics, to address the underlying cause of the edema, the excess fluid and weight would be lost. This reduction in edema is the most common reason for weight loss in this scenario, rather than poor appetite, increased potassium intake, or restriction to bed rest.
