Patient Comfort Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client with Asthma may:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Asthma involves airway inflammation, causing difficulty breathing , frequent coughing , and wheezing all classic signs, per respiratory care. 'All of the above' captures this triad, common in asthma attacks. PSWs monitor these, making it the correct and full answer.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following healthcare employees is MOST at risk for violence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Donna's isolated, poorly secured work area increases her violence risk.
Question 3 of 5
What do you think is the most important nursing order in a client with major head trauma who is about to receive bolus enteral feeding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Measuring intake and output is the most important order for a head trauma client receiving bolus enteral feeding, per the document. Enteral feeds, being hyperosmotic, draw fluid into the vascular bed, risking diuresis. Monitoring I&O ensures fluid balance, critical with head injuries where cerebral edema is a concern. Albumin levels assess nutrition long-term, not acutely. Glucose monitoring is relevant but secondary to fluid status. Increasing feeding could worsen imbalance. I&O directly addresses immediate risks, guiding adjustments to prevent complications like dehydration or overhydration, making it the priority.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement best describes the effects of immobility in children?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Immobility in children mirrors adults' physical effects , per the document, including atrophy, contractures, and skin breakdown, with secondary cardiovascular and respiratory changes. Language/motor delay isn't physical. Greater susceptibility or prolonged immobility lacks evidence here. B reflects consistent physiological impacts, making it the best description.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 7 year-old with acute glomerulonephritis (AGN). Findings include moderate edema and oliguria. Serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine are elevated. What dietary modifications are most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Decreased sodium and potassium is most appropriate for AGN with edema, oliguria, and elevated BUN/creatinine. Sodium restriction reduces fluid retention, easing edema, while potassium restriction prevents hyperkalemia from reduced renal clearance. Decreased carbs/fat is irrelevant to renal function. Increased potassium/protein risks toxicity and uremia. Increased sodium/fluids worsens edema. B aligns with AGN management, supporting renal recovery, making it the best modification.
