Question 1 of 5
Important elements of discharge teaching for Mr. Reed include which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Maintaining a regular activity program for Mr. Reed is crucial for his overall health and recovery post-discharge. Regular physical activity helps improve circulation, strength, and mental well-being. This is particularly important for patients recovering from an illness or surgery to prevent muscle atrophy and promote healing. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not directly related to discharge teaching for Mr. Reed. Taking calcium supplements, teaching signs of chronic kidney disease, and increasing milk intake may be relevant for other health conditions but are not specifically mentioned as important elements for Mr. Reed's discharge teaching.
Question 2 of 5
When the pH ________, a state of alkalosis exists.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because alkalosis occurs when the pH rises above the normal range of 7.35-7.45. A pH above 7.45 indicates an excess of bicarbonate ions, leading to alkalosis. Choices A and B are incorrect because they do not specify the exact pH range where alkalosis occurs. Choice C is incorrect as a pH falling below 6.5 would indicate extreme acidosis, not alkalosis. Thus, D is the correct choice as it accurately reflects the pH level associated with alkalosis.
Question 3 of 5
The pituitary hormone that stimulates the interstitial endocrine cells to secrete estrogen is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: LH. LH, or luteinizing hormone, stimulates the interstitial endocrine cells to secrete estrogen in the ovaries. FSH (choice A) primarily stimulates follicle development, not estrogen secretion. ACTH (choice C) stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol. GnRH (choice D) regulates the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland but does not directly stimulate estrogen secretion. In this context, only LH directly influences estrogen secretion, making it the correct answer.
Question 4 of 5
A patient with kidney stones is scheduled for is less than what? extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). What
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: - Choice C (100 mL) is correct as it ensures adequate hydration post-ESWL to promote stone passage and prevent further stone formation. - Choice A (30 mL) is too low and may not provide sufficient hydration. - Choice B (50 mL) is also inadequate for hydration post-procedure. - Choice D (Strain the patient's urine) is important but not directly related to post-procedure hydration.
Question 5 of 5
A patient has had her indwelling urinary catheter since admission. How should the nurse best respond to removed after having it in place for 10 days during this finding? recovery from an acute illness. Two hours after removal
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Inform the patient that urgency and occasional small-volume voids are common after catheter removal. This response is correct because it acknowledges the patient's symptoms as a normal physiological response post-catheter removal, providing reassurance and education. Option A is incorrect as it focuses on fluid intake rather than addressing the patient's specific concern. Option B is incorrect as it suggests limiting fluid intake, which may not be necessary in this situation. Option C is incorrect as a high-sodium diet is not indicated for the reported symptoms.
