Question 4 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client's arteriovenous (AV) fistula. Which finding provides evidence of its normal function?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: An enlarged vein is a normal finding in a functioning arteriovenous (AV) fistula, indicating adequate blood flow and patency. An AV fistula, used for dialysis, relies on arterialization of the vein, which causes it to dilate and thicken over time. Placelessness (likely a typo for 'pulselessness') suggests occlusion, redness may indicate infection, and an ecchymotic area points to trauma or bleeding—none of which are normal. The enlarged vein, often accompanied by a palpable thrill or audible bruit, confirms the fistula is working properly and ready for dialysis access.

Question 5 of 5

An older client arrives at the outpatient eye surgery clinic for a right cataract extraction and lens implant. During the immediate postoperative period, which intervention should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Post-cataract extraction, the nurse should provide an eyeshield to be worn while sleeping. This protects the surgical eye from accidental rubbing or pressure, which could dislodge the lens implant or cause infection during the vulnerable healing phase. Breathing exercises are for pulmonary issues, frequent vital signs aren't routine for outpatient surgery, and teaching eye drop administration is important but secondary to immediate protection, making the eyeshield the priority intervention.
