Question 1 of 5

Mrs. Diwa has been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, the nurse upon assessment can expect to find which of the following?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs in the body, including the lungs. Patients with SLE are at risk for developing various respiratory complications, which can result in abnormal lung sounds on auscultation. Common respiratory manifestations of SLE include pleurisy, pleural effusion, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, the nurse assessing Mrs. Diwa can expect to find abnormal lung sounds indicative of these respiratory complications. However, it is important to note that SLE can also present with a wide range of other symptoms affecting different organ systems.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following situations increase the risk of lead poisoning in children?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Playing in sand at the park can increase the risk of lead poisoning in children because sand can be contaminated with lead particles from various sources such as old paint, industrial pollution, or leaded gasoline residues. When children play in sand, they may accidentally ingest the contaminated particles while handling or playing with the sand. This ingestion can lead to lead poisoning, as even small amounts of lead can be harmful to children's health. Therefore, playing in sand at the park poses a higher risk of lead exposure compared to the other activities listed.

Question 4 of 5

Maintaining the infusion rate of hyperalimentation solutions is a nursing responsibility. What side effects would you anticipate from too rapid infusion rate?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Too rapid infusion of hyperalimentation solutions can lead to circulatory overload due to the rapid volume expansion, which can strain the heart and lead to fluid overload. This can manifest as symptoms such as shortness of breath, crackles in the lungs, and edema. Additionally, a rapid infusion rate can cause a sudden surge in glucose levels, potentially leading to hypoglycemia due to increased insulin release in response to the elevated glucose levels. It is important for the nurse to maintain a careful and appropriate infusion rate to prevent these complications and ensure patient safety.

Question 5 of 5

To prevent leakage of fluid in the thoracic cavity, how will you position the client after thoracentesis?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: After thoracentesis, it is important to position the client on the unaffected side to prevent leakage of fluid into the thoracic cavity. Placing the client on the unaffected side helps to promote proper drainage and reduce the risk of complications such as pneumothorax or fluid leakage. This position also allows for adequate lung expansion and facilitates proper re-expansion of the lung on the side where the fluid was removed. It is essential to follow this positioning to optimize outcomes and minimize risks associated with the procedure.
