Question 2 of 5
The nurse is obtaining a 24-hour urine specimencollection from the patient. Which actions should the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When obtaining a 24-hour urine specimen, it is important to keep the urine collection container on ice if indicated. Storing the urine on ice helps to preserve the integrity of certain components in the specimen that might be affected by higher temperatures. Some tests require the sample to be kept cool to ensure accurate results. Therefore, the nurse should follow the specific instructions provided for the collection and storage of the urine specimen.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a patient about the largeintestine in elimination. In which order will the nurse list the structures, starting with the first portion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The order in which the structures of the large intestine are listed starting with the first portion is as follows: cecum (the pouch where the large intestine begins), ascending colon (runs vertically up the right side of the abdomen), transverse colon (crosses horizontally from the right side of the abdomen to the left), descending colon (descends vertically down the left side of the abdomen), sigmoid colon (the S-shaped curve that leads into the rectum), and rectum (the final portion where feces are stored before being eliminated from the body). Therefore, option A provides the correct order of structures in the large intestine during elimination.
Question 4 of 5
A patient expresses concerns over having blackstool. The fecal occult test is negative. Which response by the nurse is mostappropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Black or tarry stools can be caused by certain medications and supplements, such as iron supplements. Since the fecal occult test is negative, it indicates that bleeding is not occurring. Therefore, in this situation, it is important to consider factors that can affect the color of stool, including iron supplementation. Addressing this question can help determine the cause of the black stool and provide appropriate guidance or reassurance to the patient. This response shows a comprehensive understanding of potential causes and demonstrates a thoughtful approach in addressing the patient's concern.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching for apatient who is going home with a guaiac test. Which statement by the patient indicates the need for further education?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The statement "If I get a blue color that means the test is negative" given by the patient indicates the need for further education. This is incorrect information because a blue color in the guaiac test indicates a positive result, which means the presence of fecal occult blood. The patient should be taught that a positive result indicates the need for further evaluation and follow-up with their healthcare provider. Proper understanding of the test results is vital to ensure accurate interpretation and appropriate management. Further clarification and education are necessary to correct this misconception and guide the patient towards understanding the significance of a positive result.
