Question 2 of 5
A client is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of pericarditis. The nurse reviews the client's record for which sign or symptom that differentiates pericarditis from other cardiopulmonary problems?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pericardial friction rub is a distinctive sign of pericarditis, characterized by a scraping or grating sound heard on auscultation, which helps differentiate pericarditis from other cardiopulmonary conditions. Anterior chest pain may be present in various cardiopulmonary issues. Weakness and irritability are nonspecific symptoms, and chest pain worsening with inspiration is more indicative of pleuritic conditions.

Question 5 of 5
A client with known coronary artery disease (CAD) begins to experience chest pain while getting out of bed. What action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When a client with CAD experiences chest pain, it indicates myocardial ischemia. The nurse should have the client stop the activity and lie back down in bed to reduce the heart's oxygen demand, decrease myocardial workload, and prevent further ischemia. This action helps in improving blood flow to the heart and can potentially alleviate the chest pain.
