Question 2 of 5

How has advanced technology in health care, such as integrated health records, benefited nurses?

A. Skip the assessment step of the nursing process B. Order medications C. Take blood samples D. Track patients' vital signs

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Advanced technology in health care, like integrated health records, has enabled nurses to efficiently track patients' vital signs. This capability helps nurses monitor patients' health status closely and make informed decisions regarding their care. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because technology does not replace the vital role of nurses in conducting assessments, ordering medications (typically done by prescribers), or collecting blood samples.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is interviewing a new patient with diabetes who receives rosiglitazone (Avandia) through a restricted access medication program. What is most important for the nurse to report immediately to the health care provider?

A. The patient's blood pressure is 154/92. B. The patient has a history of emphysema C. The patient's blood glucose is 86 mg/dL. D. The patient has chest pressure when walking

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Chest pressure while walking may indicate heart-related issues such as angina or a heart attack. Rosiglitazone (Avandia) has been associated with increased risks of cardiovascular events like heart failure. Given these risks, chest pressure is an urgent symptom that must be reported immediately to prevent potentially life-threatening complications.

Question 5 of 5

Rationale: Professionals communicate their views in a respectful and direct manner.

Choice B is correct as it emphasizes the importance of addressing the inequity with the nurse manager to find a constructive solution. Choice D is incorrect as it does not provide any guidance on how to handle the situation effectively.
