Question 4 of 5
A child with a poor nutritional status and weight loss is at risk for a negative nitrogen balance. To help diagnose this problem, the nurse in charge anticipates that the doctor will order which laboratory test?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Total protein is a laboratory test that is commonly ordered to assess the nutritional status of an individual. In the case of a child with poor nutritional status and weight loss, assessing the total protein levels can help in diagnosing a negative nitrogen balance. Total protein levels may decrease in individuals with inadequate protein intake, malnutrition, or negative nitrogen balance. Monitoring total protein levels can provide valuable information about the child's nutritional status and help guide further interventions to improve their overall health and well-being.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse answers a call bell and finds a frightened mother whose child, the patient, is having a seizure. Which of these actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this situation, the nurse's priority is to provide a safe environment for the patient during the seizure. Inserting a padded tongue blade (Option A) is not recommended as it can cause more harm than good, such as dental injury. Restraint of the patient (Option B) during a seizure is also not recommended as it can lead to injury. Calling the operator to page for seizure assistance (Option C) may delay immediate intervention. The best course of action is for the nurse to clear the area of any objects that may injure the patient during the seizure and position the client safely. This will help prevent injury and ensure the patient's safety until the seizure subsides.
