Question 1 of 5
Clients will go through operations and who have undergone surgery need the proper observation, treatment, and care. Implementing the nursing process to these patients will help reduce complications. Nurse Maria is preparing Mr. Sy for surgery. Which of the following statements by the client would indicate he is well-informed about his imminent surgery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B, "I will not eat anything after 12 pm the night before my operation, but I sure can drink," indicates that the client understands and is knowledgeable about the pre-operative fasting guidelines. It is crucial for patients to have an empty stomach before surgery to prevent complications related to anesthesia, such as aspiration pneumonia. This statement shows that Mr. Sy is well-informed and compliant with this important pre-operative instruction. Options A, C, and D do not directly demonstrate specific knowledge regarding the surgery preparations.
Question 2 of 5
Hyperparathyroidism is caused by increased levels of thyroxine in blood plasma. A client with this endocrine dysfunction would experience:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hyperparathyroidism is caused by increased levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), not thyroxine. The effects of hyperparathyroidism include increased calcium levels in the blood, which can lead to symptoms such as heat intolerance and systolic hypertension. Systolic hypertension is when the top number in a blood pressure reading is elevated. This is why option A (heat intolerance and systolic hypertension) is the correct choice for a client with hyperparathyroidism. Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the symptoms associated with this endocrine dysfunction.

Baby Ellie is diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux (GER); which of the following nursing diagnoses would be inappropriate?

Question 5 of 5
All the following are Test results seen in JRA EXCEPT :
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), previously known as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects children. In JIA, common test results include an increase in ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), positive RF (Rheumatoid Factor), and positive IgM & IgG antibodies. However, a positive CA 9 result is not typically associated with JRA. CA 9 (Carbonic Anhydrase 9) is not a commonly used marker for diagnosing or monitoring JIA, so it would not be expected to be seen in test results for this condition.
