Pediatric Emergency Nursing PICO Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Following hypophysectomy, patients require extensive teaching regarding this major alteration in their lifestyle
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Following hypophysectomy, which is the surgical removal of the pituitary gland, patients will require lifetime dependency on hormone replacement therapy. The pituitary gland plays a crucial role in regulating various hormones in the body, and without it, the body will not be able to produce essential hormones like growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and others. Therefore, hormone replacement therapy is necessary to maintain hormone balance and prevent complications associated with hormone deficiencies. This major alteration in the patient's lifestyle necessitates ongoing medical management and monitoring to ensure hormone levels are maintained within a normal range. The other options (A, C, D) are not directly related to the necessary lifestyle changes following hypophysectomy.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse knows that a client understands a low residue diet when he selects which of the following from the menu?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A low residue diet is designed to minimize the amount of undigested food in the stool, therefore reducing the frequency and volume of bowel movements. Foods high in fiber, such as pasta with vegetables and strawberry pie, may not be suitable for a low residue diet as they can increase stool bulk. Tuna casserole may contain ingredients like bread crumbs or high-fiber vegetables that are also not recommended on a low residue diet. Rice and lean chicken are good choices for this diet as they are low in fiber and easy to digest, making them suitable options for a client following a low residue diet.
Question 3 of 5
An adult has a central venous line. Which of the following should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An adult with a central venous line should include monitoring for any signs of infection, air embolus, and leakage or puncture in the plan of care. Central venous lines carry a risk of complications such as infection, air embolism, and mechanical issues like leakage or puncture. These complications can be serious and require immediate attention to prevent further harm to the patient. Regular monitoring and assessment for these potential issues are crucial in providing safe care for a patient with a central venous line. Other options (A, B, C) may be important in the overall care but monitoring for complications is the priority.
