Question 2 of 5
Just as the nurse was entering the room, the patient who was sitting on his chair begins to have a seizure. Which of the following must the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When a patient is having a seizure, the primary goal is to keep the patient safe and prevent injury. By easing the patient to the floor, the nurse can prevent potential injury from falling. It is important to ensure there are no objects nearby that can harm the patient during the seizure. Placing something between the patient's jaws or restraining their body movements are not recommended as they can potentially harm the patient or exacerbate the seizure. Once the patient is safely on the floor, the nurse can protect the patient's head, remove any harmful objects, and monitor the seizure until it subsides.
Question 3 of 5
Janae has a seizure disorder; which of the following would be the lowest priority when caring for her? Observing and taking down data on all seizures
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When caring for someone with a seizure disorder like Janae, the highest priority is ensuring their immediate safety and protection from injury during a seizure. This includes preventing falls, removing nearby hazards, and providing support during and after the seizure. Assessing for signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure is also important as it may indicate a serious complication requiring prompt medical attention. On the other hand, educating the family about anticonvulsant therapy, while important for long-term management, is considered a lower priority compared to the immediate safety and medical assessment needs of Janae during a seizure episode.
Question 4 of 5
Which is the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for the child with acute glomerulonephritis?
Correct Answer:
Rationale: Acute glomerulonephritis is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, leading to decreased plasma filtration. As a result, fluid volume excess occurs due to impaired kidney function in regulating the fluid balance. Symptoms may include hypertension, edema, weight gain, and oliguria. Therefore, the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for a child with acute glomerulonephritis would be "Fluid Volume Excess related to decreased plasma filtration". This diagnosis focuses on the pathophysiological process of the condition and helps guide nursing interventions aimed at managing fluid volume overload.
