Question 3 of 5
What are the first nursing actions of the nurse when a male client is admitted to the emergency department following an accident?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the first priority in emergency nursing is to assess the client's airway, breathing, circulation, and neurological response (ABCs). This approach ensures that life-threatening issues are addressed first. Checking respiration, circulation, and neurological response provides essential information on the client's immediate condition and guides further interventions. Choice B is incorrect because assessing the level of consciousness alone does not cover all critical aspects of the client's condition. Choice C is incorrect as checking pupils does not address the client's overall status comprehensively. Choice D is incorrect because stabilizing the spine should only be done after assessing the ABCs to ensure the client's immediate needs are met.
Question 4 of 5
Which factor is most relevant to the administration of lidocaine I.V. to a male client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Presence of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) on a cardiac monitor. Lidocaine is commonly used to treat PVCs as it is a Class 1B antiarrhythmic agent that stabilizes cell membranes in the heart, reducing the automaticity of ectopic pacemaker cells. PVCs can be a precursor to more serious arrhythmias, so addressing them promptly is crucial. A: Decrease in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) when measured with a pulse oximeter - Not directly related to the administration of lidocaine. B: Increase in systemic blood pressure - Lidocaine typically has minimal effects on systemic blood pressure, and this is not a primary consideration when administering it. D: Increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) - Lidocaine is not commonly associated with increasing ICP, so this is not a primary concern.
Question 5 of 5
Why might a client with an acute asthma attack stop wheezing and have no audible breath sounds?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because during an acute asthma attack, the airways become inflamed and swollen, making it difficult for air to pass through. This can result in a lack of audible breath sounds and the absence of wheezing. The swelling obstructs the flow of air, leading to decreased breath sounds. Choice A is incorrect as wheezing cessation does not necessarily indicate the end of an asthma attack. Choice C is incorrect because the swelling typically increases during an asthma attack. Choice D is incorrect as crackles are not associated with asthma attacks but may indicate other respiratory conditions like pneumonia.
