Question 2 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 3 of 5
A man with a history of diabetes and chronic lung disease is admitted to the hospital with prostate cancer. He has all the following symptoms. Which should the nurse address first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this case, the nurse should address the respiratory rate of 36 breaths per minute first, as it indicates potential respiratory distress in a patient with chronic lung disease. Rapid and shallow breathing could be a sign of worsening lung function or complications such as pneumonia, which require immediate attention to ensure adequate oxygenation and prevent further deterioration. Monitoring and addressing the patient's respiratory status are crucial in preventing respiratory failure and other serious complications.
Question 4 of 5
When taking a dietary history from a newly admitted client, the nurse should remember that which of the following foods is a common allergen?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Strawberries are a common allergen and can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Allergies to strawberries are relatively common and can present as mild reactions like itching and hives, or more severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing and anaphylaxis. It is important for healthcare professionals, such as nurses, to be aware of common allergens when taking a dietary history from clients to ensure their safety and well-being.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is one of the discharge criteria from ambulatory surgery for patients following surgery?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Understanding discharge instructions is one of the key criteria for discharging patients following surgery in an ambulatory setting. It ensures that the patient comprehends how to care for themselves post-surgery and reduces the risk of complications or the need for readmission. While the other options may also be important factors, having a clear understanding of discharge instructions is crucial for the patient's recovery and overall well-being.
