FNP Pediatric Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Clients with myastherda gravis, Guillain - Barre Syndrome or amyothrophic sclerosis experience:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Clients with myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are all affected by various neuromuscular conditions that can lead to respiratory complications. These conditions can cause weakness in the muscles involved in breathing, leading to difficulties with coughing, clearing secretions, and maintaining adequate ventilation. This weakness can ultimately result in an increased risk of breathing difficulties, respiratory infections, and respiratory failure. Therefore, clients with these conditions require close monitoring and respiratory support to manage and prevent complications related to respiratory function.
Question 2 of 5
An adult is to receive narcotic analgesics via patient controlled analgesia. The nurse is evaluating client's understanding of the procedure. Which of the following statements by the client indicates that she understand PCA?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Statement B, "I will press the button whenever I feel pain," indicates that the client understands how to use the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). PCA systems are designed to allow patients to self-administer a predetermined dose of pain medication when needed. This statement demonstrates the client's comprehension that it is appropriate to use the PCA when pain is experienced, navigating the misunderstanding that pressing the button will always give more medicine (A), that it should be pressed on a scheduled basis regardless of pain (C), or that it will completely eliminate pain (D).
Question 3 of 5
Bacterial meningitis alters intracranial physiology, causing:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bacterial meningitis can lead to cerebral edema by causing an inflammatory response within the brain tissue. This inflammation can result in the buildup of fluid, leading to edema. Additionally, the inflammatory response can cause an increase in permeability of the blood-brain barrier, allowing substances that are not normally able to cross the barrier to do so. This can lead to further disruption in the balance of fluid within the brain. Finally, the inflammatory response and the buildup of fluid can also result in raised intracranial pressure, which can further exacerbate the physiological changes occurring in the brain. Therefore, all of the above changes - cerebral edema, increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier, and raised intracranial pressure - can be seen in cases of bacterial meningitis.
