Question 1 of 5
Between 2-6 months of life, all are true about infant sleep EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Infant sleep cycles are shorter and differ from adult patterns.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is a discharge criterion from the PACU for a patient following surgery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oxygen saturation above 90% is a discharge criterion from the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit) for a patient following surgery. This indicates that the patient is effectively exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is essential for proper respiratory function. Adequate oxygenation is crucial for the patient to be safely discharged from the PACU and transitioned to a regular hospital room or home. Monitoring oxygen saturation helps ensure that the patient's respiratory status is stable before leaving the PACU. If a patient's oxygen saturation is below 90%, further assessment and interventions may be necessary before discharge is considered.
Question 3 of 5
Which laboratory results (besides hematuria) are most consistent with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: HUS typically presents with mild proteinuria along with increased BUN and creatinine, reflecting impaired renal function.
Question 4 of 5
A client with pernicious anemia is receiving parenteral vitamin B12 therapy. Which client statement indicates effective teaching about this therapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct client statement indicating effective teaching about parenteral vitamin B12 therapy for pernicious anemia is, "I will receive parenteral vitamin B12 therapy for the rest of my life." Pernicious anemia is a condition in which the body cannot absorb enough vitamin B12 from food due to a lack of intrinsic factor, a protein produced in the stomach. As a result, lifelong B12 supplementation is necessary to maintain adequate levels of the vitamin. Monthly injections are typically recommended for life to ensure proper B12 levels and prevent complications associated with the deficiency.
