Question 1 of 5
Mr. Reyea has expressive aphasia. As a part of a long range planning. The nurse should ;
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In caring for a patient with expressive aphasia like Mr. Reyea, providing positive feedback when he uses a word correctly is essential for reinforcing and encouraging communication efforts. This positive reinforcement can help boost his confidence and motivation to continue trying to communicate effectively. It is important to support and acknowledge any progress made, as communication difficulties can be frustrating for individuals with aphasia. Waiting for him to verbally state needs regardless of how long it may take, as well as suggesting that he get help at home because the disability is permanent, may not be the most therapeutic or supportive approaches. Helping the family accept that Mr. Reyea cannot participate in verbal communication should not be the primary focus, as there are strategies and therapies that can help improve communication abilities in patients with aphasia.
Question 2 of 5
An adult is to receive an IM injection of Morphine for post op pain. Which of the following is necessary for the nurse to assess prior to giving a narcotic analgesic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When administering a narcotic analgesic like Morphine, assessing the client's level of alertness and respiratory rate is crucial to monitor for any adverse effects such as respiratory depression. Morphine can cause respiratory depression as one of its side effects, especially in higher doses. By assessing the client's respiratory rate and level of alertness before administering the medication, the nurse can ensure the client's safety and take appropriate action if any signs of respiratory depression occur. This assessment is essential in preventing potential complications and ensuring the client's well-being during pain management.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bacterial meningitis is considered the most significant form of meningitis because it is a serious, life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Bacterial meningitis is caused by bacteria infecting the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. It can lead to complications such as brain damage, hearing loss, and even death if not treated promptly with antibiotics. Bacterial meningitis is more severe than viral or aseptic meningitis, hence why it is considered the most significant form.
