Fundamentals of Nursing Oxygenation Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is lifting a bedside cabinet to move it closer to a client who is sitting in a chair. To prevent self-injury, which of the following actions should the nurse take when lifting this object?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Stand close to the cabinet when lifting it. The action keeps the cabinet close to the nurse’s center of gravity and decreases back strain. You should bend at the knees, and use arms and legs to lift the cabinet.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is administering 1 L of 0.9% sodium chloride to a client who is postoperative and has fluid volume deficit. Which of the following changes should the nurse identify as an indication that the treatment was successful?

Rationale: Decrease in heart rate. Fluid volume deficit causes an increase in RR with correction it should return to range, capillary refill will return, and hematocrit should decrease.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who asks about the purpose of advance directives. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: They indicate the form of treatment a client is willing to accept in the event of a serious illness.
Question 4 of 5
Your patient had an ileostomy placed 2 weeks ago. Which bowel pattern would be expected for this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An ileostomy involves the diversion of the ileum (small intestine) to an external stoma, resulting in frequent, liquid output because the large intestine, which absorbs water and forms stool, is bypassed. Two weeks post-surgery, the output typically occurs every 2-3 hours as the small intestine adapts, though it may vary with diet and fluid intake. Continuous output (A) might occur initially but not typically after adaptation. Once per day (B) mimics normal bowel patterns, not ileostomy. Continent, controlled output (D) applies to procedures like a continent ileostomy (e.g., Kock pouch), not a standard ileostomy.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Padded boots prevent foot drop in immobile clients. Ulcers (A) require pressure relief. Pooling (C) and BP changes (D) are unrelated.
