Question 3 of 9
A client is postoperative following an intermaxillary fixation due to multiple facial fractures. Which type of equipment should be at the client's bedside?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Wire cutters. In postoperative intermaxillary fixation, wire cutters are essential at the bedside in case of an emergency airway obstruction or need for immediate removal of the fixation. Wire cutters allow quick access to the airway without causing harm to the client. B: NG tube is not necessary for postoperative intermaxillary fixation. C: Urinary catheter tray is not directly related to the client's airway or fixation. D: IV infusion pump is not specifically required for managing intermaxillary fixation emergencies. In summary, wire cutters are crucial for ensuring client safety and airway management in postoperative intermaxillary fixation, making it the most appropriate equipment to have at the bedside.

Question 5 of 9
A client had a stroke involving the right cerebral hemisphere. The nurse should monitor for which of the following findings?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Poor impulse control. When a client has a stroke involving the right cerebral hemisphere, it can affect their ability to regulate emotions and impulses. The right hemisphere is responsible for inhibiting impulsive behavior, so damage to this area can lead to poor impulse control. This can manifest as impulsivity, lack of judgement, and difficulty controlling emotions. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B: Inability to discriminate words and letters - This is typically associated with left cerebral hemisphere damage, not right hemisphere. C: Deficits in the right visual field - This is associated with damage to the left occipital lobe, not the right hemisphere. D: Motor retardation - Motor functions are controlled by the opposite side of the brain, so right hemisphere damage would typically affect the left side of the body, not motor function in general.
Question 6 of 9
A healthcare professional is preparing to administer albuterol syrup 1.6 mg PO tid. Available is albuterol 2 mg/5mL. How many mL should the healthcare professional administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the mL per dose of albuterol syrup, we need to calculate how many mL contain 1.6 mg of albuterol. Given that 2 mg of albuterol is in 5 mL of syrup, we can set up a proportion: 2 mg / 5 mL = 1.6 mg / x mL Cross-multiply to solve for x: 2 * x = 1.6 * 5 2x = 8 x = 4 mL Therefore, the correct answer is A: 4 mL. Choice B (6 mL) is incorrect because it does not match the calculated value. Choice C (10 mL) is incorrect as it is too high based on the calculation. Choice D (5.5 mL) is incorrect as it does not match the precise calculated value of 4 mL.

Question 8 of 9
Which of the following would you include as risk factors for the development of skin cancer when assessing the integumentary system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Advancing age by itself is not a risk factor. If that person has been exposed to a lot of sun there may be increased risk, but that information is not given here. There is a known genetic risk, with some cancers being seen to be present in families with low risk factors. Those with dark pigmentation develop skin cancer, but at a lower rate than those with low amounts of pigmentation. White collar jobs, which occur in offices and inside buildings, are a low risk for skin cancer.
