Fundamentals Nursing Process Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

A patient is being given Digoxin to treat heart failure. Which of the ff. is a usual adult daily dosage of digoxin (Lanoxin)?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: C: 0.25 mg is the correct daily dosage of Digoxin for adults with heart failure. This dosage is within the usual range of 0.125-0.25 mg. It helps improve heart function and manage heart failure symptoms. A: 0.005 mg is too low and ineffective. B: 0.025 mg is also too low for therapeutic effect. D: 2.5 mg is too high and may lead to toxicity in most adult patients.

Question 2 of 5

A client seeks care for hopeless that has lasted for 1 month. To elicit the most appropriate information about this problem, the nurse should ask which question.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because asking if the client has strained their voice recently is the most relevant question to assess the issue of hopelessness. Voice strain can be a symptom of underlying emotional distress or mental health concerns, which could be contributing to the client's feelings of hopelessness. Choices A, B, and D are unrelated to the client's presenting issue and would not provide valuable information in addressing the problem at hand.

Question 3 of 5

A client hyperparathyroidism declines surgery and is to receive hormone replacement therapy with estrogen and progesterone. Which of the following instructions would be most important to include in the client’s teaching plan?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: maintain a moderate exercise. Exercise helps in maintaining bone density, which is crucial in managing hyperparathyroidism. Moderate exercise can also help in weight management and overall health. Choice B, losing weight, can be helpful but not as crucial as exercise. Choice C, jogging 2 miles per day, may be excessive for some individuals and not necessary for managing hyperparathyroidism. Choice D, resting as much as possible, is not recommended as it can lead to muscle weakness and bone loss, which are already concerns in hyperparathyroidism.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is reviewing a patient’s plan of care, which includes the nursing diagnostic statement, Impaired physical mobility related to tibial fracture as evidenced by patient’s inability to ambulate. Which part of the diagnostic statement does the nurse need to revise?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Collaborative problem. The nurse needs to revise the collaborative problem part of the diagnostic statement because "Impaired physical mobility related to tibial fracture as evidenced by patient’s inability to ambulate" is a nursing diagnosis, not a collaborative problem. Collaborative problems involve issues that require both nursing and medical interventions, whereas nursing diagnoses focus on the nurse's role in addressing the patient's health issues. Therefore, the nurse should revise the collaborative problem part to accurately reflect the collaborative aspect of the patient's care. Etiology (A), nursing diagnosis (B), and defining characteristic (D) are not the parts of the diagnostic statement that need revision in this scenario.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse needs to assess a client who is undergoing urinary diversion. Which of the ff assessment is essential for the client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because a client's medical history of allergy to iodine or seafood is crucial for urinary diversion assessment to prevent potential adverse reactions during procedures involving contrast media or seafood-based medications. It is essential to ensure the client's safety and avoid any allergic reactions. Choice A is incorrect because assessing sexual function is not directly related to urinary diversion assessment. Choice C is also incorrect as urinary diversion does not typically affect nervous control. Choice D is irrelevant to the assessment of a client undergoing urinary diversion.
