Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving an epidural infusion for pain management. Which assessment finding requires immediate intervention from the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Report of headache and stiff neck. This finding suggests a potential complication of epidural anesthesia called a post-dural puncture headache, which can indicate leakage of cerebrospinal fluid. This requires immediate intervention to prevent serious complications like meningitis or seizures. Redness at the catheter insertion site is common and typically resolves with proper care. A slight elevation in temperature (C) may not be urgent unless it's accompanied by other symptoms. Pain rating of 8 (D) is important but not as urgent as potential neurological complications.
Question 4 of 5
A client diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder is admitted for social skills training. Which information should be taught by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: How to make eye contact when communicating. This is essential for individuals with schizoaffective disorder to improve their social interactions. Making eye contact shows attentiveness and engagement, enhancing communication skills. Deep breathing techniques (B) may help manage stress but are not directly related to social skills training. Knowing the side effects of medications (A) is important but not the priority for social skills training. Being a leader (D) requires advanced skills and may not be suitable for all individuals with schizoaffective disorder.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing a flat affect, paranoid delusions, anhedonia, anergia, neologisms, and echolalia. Which statement correctly differentiates the client's positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because paranoid delusions, neologisms, and echolalia are all considered positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Positive symptoms are behaviors or experiences that are added to a person's normal functioning, such as hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized speech. In this case, paranoid delusions involve false beliefs of being persecuted or harmed, neologisms refer to made-up words, and echolalia is the repetition of words or phrases spoken by others. Flat affect, anhedonia, and anergia are actually negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Negative symptoms involve deficits in normal functioning, such as a lack of emotional expression (flat affect), inability to experience pleasure (anhedonia), and lack of energy or motivation (anergia). Therefore, choice B correctly differentiates the client's positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
