Question 1 of 5
A client receives a sealed radiation implant to treat cervical cancer. When caring for this client, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When caring for a client who has received a sealed radiation implant to treat cancer, it is important to consider the client to be radioactive for a certain period of time. Typically, the client is considered radioactive for about 10 days after the implant is removed. During this time, precautions should be taken to limit exposure to radiation, including following the principles of time, distance, and shielding. It is important for healthcare providers to wear appropriate protective gear when caring for the client and to limit the time spent in close proximity to the client. After the radioactive period has passed, the client will no longer be considered radioactive, and standard precautions can be followed.
Question 2 of 5
Choose the condition that exhibits blood values with a low pH and a high PCO :
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Respiratory acidosis is a condition characterized by elevated levels of carbon dioxide (high PCOâ‚‚) and decreased blood pH (low pH) due to inadequate ventilation leading to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the body. The excess carbon dioxide reacts with water in the blood to form carbonic acid, resulting in a decrease in pH. This is in contrast to metabolic acidosis, which is characterized by an accumulation of acids other than carbon dioxide, leading to a low blood pH. Respiratory alkalosis would present with a low PCOâ‚‚ and high pH, while metabolic alkalosis features a high pH and elevated bicarbonate levels due to non-respiratory causes.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fetal alcohol syndrome is characterized by microcephaly, a short philtrum, and intrauterine growth restriction, among other features.

Question 5 of 5
Samantha, age 5 years, tells the nurse that she "needs a Band-Aid" where she had an injection. Which is the best nursing action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best nursing action in this scenario is to explain why a Band-Aid is not needed. At 5 years old, Samantha is at an age where she can begin to understand explanations. By providing her with a simple and clear explanation, the nurse can help Samantha understand that a Band-Aid is not necessary in this situation. This also promotes education and helps Samantha learn about wound healing and appropriate care. It is important to involve the child in the decision-making process and provide education to foster their understanding of their own health.
