Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has just had a modified radical mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. She's in her 30s and has two young children. Although she's worried about her future, she seems to be adjusting well to her diagnosis. What should the nurse do to support her coping?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Referring the client to the American Cancer Society's Reach for Recovery program or another support program is the best course of action to support her coping. This program can provide emotional support, practical assistance, and guidance to the client as she navigates through the challenges of coping with breast cancer and reconstruction surgery. Connecting with others who have gone through similar experiences can help her feel less isolated and provide her with valuable insights and resources to cope effectively. This approach acknowledges the importance of holistic support for the client during this difficult time, beyond what medical treatment alone can provide.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is aware that the shift of body fluids associated with the intravenous administration of albumin occurs by the process of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a semi-permeable membrane to equalize concentrations on both sides of the membrane. When albumin is administered intravenously, it creates an osmotic pressure in the bloodstream that draws water from the interstitial space into the blood vessels. This shift of body fluids associated with the intravenous administration of albumin occurs through the process of osmosis.

Question 5 of 5
Hyperparathyroidism is caused by increased levels of thyroxine in blood plasma. A client with this endocrine dysfunction would experience:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hyperparathyroidism is caused by increased levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), not thyroxine. The effects of hyperparathyroidism include increased calcium levels in the blood, which can lead to symptoms such as heat intolerance and systolic hypertension. Systolic hypertension is when the top number in a blood pressure reading is elevated. This is why option A (heat intolerance and systolic hypertension) is the correct choice for a client with hyperparathyroidism. Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the symptoms associated with this endocrine dysfunction.
