Question 2 of 5

A child with a history of seizures arrives in the emergency department (ED) in status epilepticus. Which is the priority nursing action?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: When a child with a history of seizures presents in status epilepticus, the priority nursing action is to maintain a patent airway. This is crucial to ensure proper oxygenation and ventilation. Establishing an intravenous line and performing other assessments are important but maintaining a patent airway takes precedence to prevent hypoxia and ensure the child's safety.

Question 3 of 5

A newborn's parents are being taught about ways to prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Which of the following instructions should be included?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct instruction to prevent SIDS is to give the infant a pacifier at bedtime. The use of a pacifier while the infant is sleeping is associated with a decreased risk of SIDS. Other recommended preventive measures include placing the infant on their back to sleep, using a firm mattress in the crib, and avoiding soft bedding or pillows.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is teaching a patient who has a new prescription for spironolactone (Aldactone). Which statement by the patient indicated that the teaching was effective?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing, aldosterone-blocking diuretic. As such, it can cause endocrine effects, such as gynecomastia, menstrual irregularities, impotence, hirsutism, and deepening of the voice. Patients taking spironolactone should avoid salt substitutes because they contain potassium; high-potassium foods should be avoided with this drug. Ideally, all diuretics should be taken in the morning to prevent nocturia.
