Question 1 of 5
Just as the nurse was entering the room, the patient who was sitting on his chair begins to have a seizure. Which of the following must the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When a patient is having a seizure, the primary goal is to keep the patient safe and prevent injury. By easing the patient to the floor, the nurse can prevent potential injury from falling. It is important to ensure there are no objects nearby that can harm the patient during the seizure. Placing something between the patient's jaws or restraining their body movements are not recommended as they can potentially harm the patient or exacerbate the seizure. Once the patient is safely on the floor, the nurse can protect the patient's head, remove any harmful objects, and monitor the seizure until it subsides.

Open-ended questions allow for a more open and extensive conversation, encouraging parents to share their emotions and concerns more effectively. This approach can help parents feel understood and supported, ultimately fostering more honest and meaningful discussions about their child's illness.

Question 4 of 5
A client has been diagnosed with renal failure and is admitted for dialysis. Which of the ff is the nurse's responsibility as the client undergone dialysis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse's responsibility during dialysis includes weighing the client before and after the procedure. This is important to monitor the amount of fluid removed during dialysis and to ensure that the client's fluid balance is managed properly. It helps in determining the effectiveness of dialysis treatment in removing excess fluid from the body. Keeping the client's fluid balance in check is crucial in managing renal failure and preventing complications such as fluid overload. Therefore, monitoring the client's weight before and after dialysis is a key responsibility of the nurse in this situation.
Question 5 of 5
A client has been scheduled for a Schilling test. What instruction will the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct instruction the nurse will give to the client scheduled for a Schilling test is to collect his urine for 12 hours. The Schilling test is a diagnostic test used to assess the body's ability to absorb vitamin B12. The test involves collecting urine samples over a period of 24 hours after the client ingests a small amount of radioactive vitamin B12. By collecting urine for 12 hours, the healthcare provider will be able to analyze the excretion of the vitamin and determine the client's ability to absorb vitamin B12. Instructions such as fasting, enema administration, or emptying the bladder before the test are not typically associated with the Schilling test procedure.
