Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning a class on accident prevention for parents of toddlers. Which safety topic is the priority for this class?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The safety topic that is the priority for the nurse's accident prevention class for parents of toddlers is the appropriate use of car seat restraints. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries and deaths among children, and proper car seat usage is crucial in protecting toddlers during car rides. Following the guidelines for car seat installation and usage can significantly reduce the risk of injury or death in the event of a car accident. Therefore, ensuring that parents understand and implement proper car seat restraint practices is essential in promoting the safety of toddlers. While the other safety topics are also important, the risk of injury or death in car accidents is higher compared to other accidents for toddlers, making car seat safety a priority.
Question 2 of 5
A 5 years old boy presents with joint swelling after minor trauma, mother gives history of prolonged bleeding from circumcision site. His platelets count is 170000, PT is 10 seconds and APTT is 60 seconds. What is most likely the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hemophilia is characterized by prolonged APTT with normal platelet count and PT, indicating a coagulation factor deficiency.
Question 3 of 5
When a child has chronic renal failure, the progressive deterioration produces a variety of clinical and biochemical disturbances that eventually are manifested in the clinical syndrome known as:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chronic renal failure leads to the build-up of waste products and toxins in the blood, known as uremia. This condition results from the kidneys' inability to effectively filter waste from the blood and maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance. As renal function declines, uremia can lead to a variety of clinical manifestations such as fatigue, nausea, itching, and electrolyte imbalances, ultimately resulting in the clinical syndrome known as uremia. Oliguria refers to reduced urine output, proteinuria is the presence of excessive protein in the urine, and pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection of the kidneys - these conditions may be present in chronic renal failure but are not the defining clinical syndrome.
Question 4 of 5
A client is receiving a blood transfusion. If this client experiences an acute hemolytic reaction, which nursing intervention is the most important?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the case of an acute hemolytic reaction during a blood transfusion, the most important nursing intervention is to immediately stop the transfusion and infuse normal saline solution. This is crucial to prevent further complications associated with the hemolysis of red blood cells. Normal saline helps maintain blood pressure and support kidney function, which may be compromised during a hemolytic reaction. Additionally, notifying the blood bank is important to investigate and prevent future reactions, and to determine if there was an error in blood compatibility. Administering antihistamines or changing the fluid type (such as dextrose 5% in water) will not address the underlying issue of hemolysis and may not be the most appropriate interventions in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse should include which of the following in preprocedure teaching for a patient scheduled for carotid angiography?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: It is important for the nurse to include in preprocedure teaching for a patient scheduled for carotid angiography the information that the patient may feel a burning sensation when the dye is injected. This information helps prepare the patient for a common sensation during the procedure, reducing anxiety and promoting patient understanding and cooperation. Providing this education enhances the patient's overall experience and enables them to better cope with the procedure. The other options are not accurate or complete in providing necessary preprocedure information for the patient.
