Question 1 of 5
A neonate with a meningomyelocele is scheduled for surgery in the morning. Which nursing action is appropriate for this neonate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Positioning the newborn in a prone position is appropriate for a neonate with a meningomyelocele before surgery as it helps prevent pressure on the sac. Placing the newborn in this position can reduce the risk of damaging the sac and promote optimal surgical outcomes.
Question 2 of 5
When educating a patient about sildenafil (Viagra), which adverse effect should be a priority for the patient to report to his prescriber?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hearing loss.' In rare cases, Viagra has been associated with sudden hearing loss, typically in one ear, which can be partial or complete. Any onset of hearing problems while using Viagra should be reported promptly to the prescriber. It is recommended to discontinue the medication if it is used for erectile dysfunction. 'Flushing,' 'Diarrhea,' and 'Dyspepsia' are known adverse effects of Viagra but are generally less serious compared to hearing loss.
Question 3 of 5
The healthcare professional is completing the intake and output record for a child admitted for fluid volume deficit. The child has had the following intake and output during the shift: 4 oz of Pedialyte, One-half of an 8-oz cup of clear orange Jell-O, Two graham crackers, 200 mL of D5 1/2 sodium chloride IV. Output: 345 mL of urine, 50 mL of loose stool. How many milliliters should the healthcare professional document as the client's total intake? Give the numerical answer only. Do not include any units of measurement.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The total intake is 440 mL (4 oz of Pedialyte = 120 mL, half of an 8 oz Jell-O = 120 mL, and 200 mL of IV fluids). Therefore, the correct answer is 440.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parent of a school-age child who has moderate persistent asthma. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should inform the parent that the child will need pulmonary function tests every 12 to 24 months to assess lung function and response to treatment. These tests help evaluate the presence of lung disease, monitor disease progression, and assess the effectiveness of the current therapeutic regimen in managing asthma.
Question 5 of 5
A patient is prescribed Lisinopril as part of the treatment plan for heart failure. Which finding indicates the patient is experiencing the therapeutic effect of this drug?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Because ACE inhibitors promote venous dilation, they provide the therapeutic effect of reducing pulmonary congestion and peripheral edema. Absence of previously heard crackles would be an indicator of effectiveness. Edema and jugular vein distention are manifestations of heart failure. A potassium level of 3.5 is a normal value.
