Question 3 of 5
Patients like Emmy who have experienced delayed hypersensivity to latex FREQUENTLY complains of ______.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Patients like Emmy who have experienced delayed hypersensitivity to latex typically present with symptoms such as rhinitis (runny or stuffy nose) and conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eyes). In addition, delayed hypersensitivity reactions often involve skin manifestations, such as blisters. These symptoms are reflective of the inflammatory response triggered by exposure to latex in individuals with delayed hypersensitivity. Symptoms like flushing, bronchospasm, urticaria, laryngeal edema, papules, vesicles, and pruritus are more commonly associated with immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions rather than delayed hypersensitivity reactions in latex-sensitive individuals.
Question 4 of 5
In writing the IR, which of the following is not included?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The IR (Incident Report) typically focuses on the details surrounding an incident or event, such as what happened, who was/were involved, and who witnessed the incident. Information about daily medications given to the patient is not usually included in an incident report, unless it directly relates to the incident itself (e.g., medication error). The primary focus of an incident report is to document the incident in a clear and factual manner for record-keeping and analysis purposes.
Question 5 of 5
The INITIAL priority assessment performed by the nurse, when admitting a patients the unit after abdominal surgery is to check for ______.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When admitting a patient to the unit after abdominal surgery, the initial priority assessment performed by the nurse should focus on assessing the patient's respiratory function and airway. This is crucial because post-surgical patients are at risk for complications such as respiratory depression, atelectasis, and airway obstruction. Monitoring the patient's breathing pattern, oxygen saturation levels, and ensuring a patent airway are essential in preventing respiratory distress or failure. Prompt assessment and intervention in this area can help prevent respiratory complications and ensure the patient's safety and well-being. Once the patient's respiratory status is stable, the nurse can then proceed to assess other aspects such as the surgical site, skin color, temperature, and responsiveness to stimuli.
