Question 3 of 5
Which of the following medications should then nurse explain may cause headache as a side effect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Adalat (Procardia) belongs to a class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. Headache is a common side effect associated with the use of calcium channel blockers, including Adalat (Procardia). The mechanism behind this side effect is related to the vasodilatory effects of calcium channel blockers, which can lead to relaxation and widening of blood vessels, potentially causing headaches. It is important for the nurse to explain to the patient that headache is a possible side effect of Adalat (Procardia) and to consult the healthcare provider if it becomes bothersome or severe.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse caring for a patient with a herniated lumbar disk develops a plan of care for impaired mobility related to nerve compression. Which patient outcome indicates that the plan has been successful?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The patient being able to ambulate 25 feet without pain is the most appropriate outcome to indicate the success of the plan for impaired mobility related to nerve compression due to a herniated lumbar disk. This outcome directly reflects an improvement in mobility, which is the primary goal when addressing impaired mobility caused by nerve compression. A reduction in pain intensity (choice A) is important but not as specific to mobility impairment. Having full range of motion (choice B) in the upper extremities is not directly related to the issue of lumbar disk herniation. Correct self-administration of analgesics (choice C) is important for pain management but does not directly reflect improvement in mobility.
Question 5 of 5
Why would a Heimlich maneuver be performed on a client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Heimlich maneuver, also known as abdominal thrusts, is performed on a client to clear the airway if the client is choking and cannot speak or breathe after swallowing food. The maneuver involves applying upward pressure on the abdomen in an effort to forcefully expel the object blocking the airway. It is a crucial life-saving technique that can prevent the client from suffocating due to an obstructed airway. In cases of choking emergencies, the Heimlich maneuver should be administered promptly to effectively remove the obstruction and restore breathing.
