Question 1 of 5
A first-time mother brings in her 5-day-old baby for a well-child visit. The baby weighs 7 lb 5 oz, down from 7 lb 10 oz at discharge. The nurse's best response is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A small weight loss is normal in the first week of life; infants typically regain their birth weight by 2 weeks.
Question 2 of 5
A male client is prescribed medications that depress thrombocytes. The nurse should monitor for which of the ff signs and symptoms in the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Thrombocytes, also known as platelets, play a crucial role in blood clotting. Medications that depress thrombocytes can lead to decreased clotting ability and an increased risk of bleeding. Therefore, monitoring for signs and symptoms of bleeding is essential. Bleeding gums and dark tarry stools are indicative of bleeding in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, respectively, and are key indicators to watch for in a client taking medications that depress thrombocytes. Options A, B, and D are not directly related to the impact of thrombocyte depression on clotting function.
Question 3 of 5
. Which of the following laboratory test results would the nurse expect to find in a client diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis?
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder that results in an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). The key lab findings typically seen in Hashimoto's thyroiditis include elevated thyroid antibodies (such as anti-thyroid peroxidase and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies), decreased levels of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in the newborn nursery is monitoring a preterm newborn infant for respiratory distress syndrome. Which assessment signs if noted in the newborn infant would alert the nurse to the possibility of this syndrome?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), also known as hyaline membrane disease, is a condition commonly seen in preterm newborn infants. The two classic signs of RDS are tachypnea (rapid breathing) and retractions. Tachypnea is defined as a respiratory rate greater than 60 breaths per minute in newborn infants. Retractions refer to visible indrawing of the chest wall with each breath, indicating increased work of breathing. These signs are indicative of the infant's struggle to breathe and can suggest the presence of RDS. While acrocyanosis (bluish discoloration of the extremities) and grunting may also be present in infants with RDS, tachypnea and retractions are more specific indicators of respiratory distress. Hypotension and bradycardia are not common signs of RDS. The presence of a barrel chest with grunting is not specific
Question 5 of 5
