Question 4 of 5
A client with a history of COPD is admitted with pneumonia, VS include O2 sat 89%, temp 100.5, HR 120, resp 28, and BP 170/90. Which finding warrants immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bilateral diffuse wheezing in a client with COPD and pneumonia warrants immediate intervention. Wheezing indicates bronchoconstriction, worsening an already compromised respiratory status (O2 sat 89%, RR 28). This can rapidly lead to respiratory failure if untreated, requiring bronchodilators and possibly oxygen escalation. Shortness of breath on exertion is expected in COPD, coarse sounds reflect pneumonia, and yellow sputum suggests infection but isn't immediately life-threatening, making wheezing the priority for urgent action.
Question 5 of 5
An adult client is diagnosed with restless leg syndrome and is referred to the sleep clinic. The HCP prescribes ferrous sulfate 325 mg PO daily. Which laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a client with restless leg syndrome (RLS) on ferrous sulfate, the nurse should monitor serum iron and ferritin. RLS is linked to low iron stores, and ferrous sulfate supplements iron to alleviate symptoms. Monitoring these levels ensures therapeutic effect and prevents toxicity (e.g., hemochromatosis). Electrolytes, platelets/hematocrit, and neutrophils/eosinophils aren't directly affected by iron therapy or RLS, making iron and ferritin the key labs to track for efficacy and safety.
