A sitz bath is specifically designed to provide therapeutic benefits, such as relief for conditions like hemorrhoids, vaginal infections, or postpartum discomfort. It involves sitting in warm water to soothe and cleanse the perineal area. A: Routine bed bath is incorrect as it refers to a general bathing procedure for hygiene maintenance.

Question 2 of 5
What might happen if no action is taken quickly for a client with a respiratory rate of 4 breaths/minute after receiving morphine sulfate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Respiratory arrest. Morphine sulfate is a central nervous system depressant that can cause respiratory depression, leading to dangerously low respiratory rates. A respiratory rate of 4 breaths/minute indicates severe respiratory depression, which can progress to respiratory arrest if not addressed promptly. Without intervention, the client may stop breathing altogether, leading to respiratory failure and potential death. Incorrect choices: A: Asthma attack - Morphine sulfate does not directly cause asthma attacks. C: Seizure - Respiratory depression from morphine overdose is more likely to cause respiratory arrest than a seizure. D: Wake up on her own - Severe respiratory depression is a medical emergency and the client will not wake up without intervention.
Question 3 of 5
What are Cheyne-Stokes respirations?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because Cheyne-Stokes respirations are characterized by a pattern of progressively deeper breaths followed by shallower breaths with apneic periods. This pattern indicates an abnormal breathing rhythm often seen in conditions affecting the brainstem. Choice B is incorrect because it describes a different condition known as Biot's respiration. Choice C is incorrect as it describes irregular breathing without the characteristic pattern seen in Cheyne-Stokes. Choice D is incorrect as it describes shallow breathing with an increased respiratory rate, which is not the pattern seen in Cheyne-Stokes respirations.
Question 4 of 5
What statement about bone marrow transplantation is incorrect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because bone marrow transplantation is performed under general anesthesia, not local anesthesia. Local anesthesia would not provide sufficient pain control for the procedure, which involves harvesting marrow from the iliac crest. The other choices (B, C, D) are correct: B) Bone marrow is typically mixed with heparin to prevent clotting, C) The iliac crest is a common site for aspiration, and D) Cyclophosphamide is often given before transplantation to suppress the recipient's immune system.
Question 5 of 5
Which foods should a client practicing Islam avoid?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pork products like bacon. In Islam, consuming pork is strictly forbidden as it is considered impure. This prohibition is clearly stated in the Quran. Muslims are required to avoid all forms of pork, including bacon, ham, and any products derived from pigs. Shrimps and crabs (choice A) are permissible seafood according to Islamic dietary laws. Wine and alcoholic drinks (choice B) are also prohibited in Islam. Fish with scales (choice C) are allowed to be consumed by Muslims as long as they are Halal. In summary, the other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific dietary restrictions outlined in Islamic teachings.
