Question 3 of 5
While assessing a client receiving a blood transfusion, which finding requires immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A heart rate of 90 beats per minute requires immediate intervention when assessing a client receiving a blood transfusion. This finding can indicate a potential transfusion reaction, such as a hemolytic reaction or fluid overload, which requires prompt evaluation and management to prevent serious complications. While a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) may indicate a mild fever, it is not typically an immediate concern during a blood transfusion. A blood pressure of 110/70 mm Hg is within the normal range, and complaints of feeling cold can be addressed but do not indicate an urgent need for intervention compared to the critical nature of a potential transfusion reaction indicated by an elevated heart rate.
Question 4 of 5
A client with a history of hypertension is admitted with acute renal failure. Which assessment finding requires immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Urine output of 50 mL in 4 hours indicates oliguria, which can be a sign of worsening renal function and requires immediate intervention. In acute renal failure, maintaining adequate urine output is crucial to prevent further kidney damage and manage fluid balance. A high blood pressure reading (Option A) is concerning but may not require immediate intervention in this scenario as it could be due to the history of hypertension. A heart rate of 100 beats per minute (Option C) is slightly elevated but may not be the most critical finding at this moment. Nausea and vomiting (Option D) are important to assess but are not as urgent as addressing oliguria in a client with acute renal failure.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client with a suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Which finding supports this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Redness and warmth in the affected leg are classic signs of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which supports the diagnosis.
