Question 2 of 5
Which of the ff points should a nurse include in the teaching plan for clients who have potential for hypovolemia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clients at risk for hypovolemia, which is a condition characterized by low blood volume, should be advised to avoid alcohol and caffeine. Alcohol and caffeine are known to have diuretic effects, which can further deplete the body's fluid volume and worsen the condition. By avoiding alcohol and caffeine, clients can help maintain adequate fluid levels in the body and reduce the risk of exacerbating hypovolemia. Additionally, it is important for clients at risk for hypovolemia to stay hydrated by consuming adequate amounts of water or other hydrating fluids.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client who will be discharged soon how to change a sterile dressing on the right leg. During the teaching session, the nurse notices redness, swelling and induration at the wound site. What do these signs suggest?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The presence of redness, swelling, and induration at the wound site are classic signs of infection. Redness is caused by inflammation, swelling occurs due to fluid accumulation in response to infection, and induration refers to the hardening of the tissue, which is a result of the body's immune response. Infections can lead to delayed wound healing, increased pain, and other complications. It is essential to address these signs promptly to prevent further complications and promote healing.
Question 4 of 5
Beta-adrenergic agonists such as albuterol are given to Reggie, a child with asthma. Such drugs are administered primarily to do which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Beta-adrenergic agonists like albuterol primarily work by relaxing and dilating the bronchioles, which are the smaller airways in the lungs. This leads to quick relief of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. By opening up the airways, these medications help improve airflow and make it easier for the individual to breathe. Beta-adrenergic agonists do not directly reduce airway inflammation, but they do provide immediate relief during an asthma attack by targeting bronchoconstriction.
