Question 1 of 9
A client sustained a crushing injury to his right arm during a car accident. He arrives to the emergency room complaining of numbness in his right hand. He has no other injuries. What should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
What is accurate health promotion teaching to prevent ear infection or trauma? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct health promotion teachings to prevent ear infection or trauma include blowing the nose gently without blocking nostrils, wearing hearing protection when exposed to loud noise, and avoiding the use of cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear. Blocking one nostril when blowing the nose is incorrect, as it can cause problems. Therefore, choice A is inaccurate. Additionally, using cotton-tipped applicators to clean the external ear can lead to trauma or infection, making choice C a correct preventive measure.
Question 3 of 9
What is a negative effect of immobility on the musculoskeletal system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 9
A client is diagnosed with glaucoma. The provider needs to determine if it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. What test does the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gonioscopy is the appropriate test to anticipate in this scenario. It is used to distinguish between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma by examining the angle where the iris meets the cornea. Choice A, ultrasonic imaging, is not typically used to differentiate between these types of glaucoma. Choice C, corneal staining, is used to detect corneal abrasions and defects, not to differentiate between types of glaucoma. Choice D, electroretinography, is a test that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina and is not specific to differentiating between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma.
Question 5 of 9
Which of the following clients are at an increased risk for deep vein thrombosis following a reduction and internal fixation of the hip? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: a
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 6 of 9
The provider orders the client to be placed in a high-Fowler's position. At what angle will the nurse position the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 90 degrees. In a high-Fowler's position, the client's head of the bed is raised to a 90-degree angle. This positioning helps improve breathing and facilitates eating and talking. Choice A, 15 degrees, is incorrect as it is not high enough to be considered a high-Fowler's position. Choice B, 0 degrees, is incorrect as it represents a flat or supine position. Choice D, 30 degrees, is also incorrect as it does not meet the criteria for a high-Fowler's position.
Question 7 of 9
A client has a fractured right arm. What should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should first remove the client's bracelet and rings from the right arm. This action is crucial to prevent complications such as swelling and restricted blood flow, which could worsen the condition. Applying ice, administering pain medications, and sending the client for an x-ray are important steps but should come after ensuring the client's jewelry is removed to avoid any further issues.
Question 8 of 9
What medication class can decrease tissue inflammation but delays bone healing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are known to decrease tissue inflammation but may delay bone healing. Anticoagulants (Choice A) are used to prevent blood clotting, opioids (Choice C) are pain relievers, and narcotics (Choice D) are drugs that affect the central nervous system. While all the choices may have their own indications and uses in healthcare, NSAIDs are specifically associated with delaying bone healing despite their anti-inflammatory properties.
Question 9 of 9
A client who had an elective below-the-knee amputation reports pain in the foot that was amputated. What is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response is to assess the pain intensity by asking the client to rate their pain on a scale of 0-10. This helps the nurse to effectively manage the client's pain. Choice A is incorrect as it dismisses the client's pain without proper assessment. Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the pain is phantom limb pain without assessing the client's current condition. Choice C is incorrect as it invalidates the client's pain experience and does not address the issue at hand.
