Question 1 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.

Question 3 of 9

Why is traction used?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Traction is used to help align the bones properly during the healing process. Choice A is correct because traction assists in allowing the bones to realign correctly, promoting proper healing. Choice B is incorrect as traction does not decrease the risk of misalignment; instead, it helps reduce misalignment by aiding in bone alignment. Choice C is incorrect because while traction indirectly supports wound healing by ensuring proper bone alignment, its primary purpose is not wound healing. Choice D is incorrect as the primary purpose of traction is not to allow the client to rest longer, but rather to aid in bone alignment for optimal healing.

Question 4 of 9

What are nonsurgical treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome? (Select all that apply)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'All of the above.' Non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome include using a splint, ultrasound therapy, corticosteroid injections, and NSAIDs. Choice A is correct as using a splint helps to keep the wrist in a neutral position, reducing pressure on the median nerve. Choice B is correct as ultrasound therapy can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Choice C, 'Endoscopic carpal tunnel release,' is incorrect as it is a surgical procedure, not a nonsurgical treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Question 5 of 9

A client does not understand why vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible. What is the best explanation?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. In glaucoma, the optic nerve damage due to high intraocular pressure leads to permanent vision loss because the nerve fibers do not regenerate. Choice A is incorrect as it discusses bacterial infection, not relevant to glaucoma. Choice B is incorrect because it refers to retinal detachment, not glaucoma. Choice D is incorrect because not all glaucoma cases lead to permanent blindness; vision loss can be prevented or slowed with treatment.
