The client underwent a colon surgery yesterday, and just started ice chips today, Which of the following is an expected assessment finding?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Biofeedback (A) uses machines to display pulse, temperature, and muscle tension, allowing Lyza to visualize and control them. Massage (B) is physical, not machine-based. Autogenic training (C) involves self-suggestion, not devices. Visualization (D) is mental imagery, not monitored. Biofeedback trains self-regulation via real-time data, per psychology, matching the description and making A correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Administering medications through a syringe is the correct action to take when a client has an NG tube for continuous feedings to ensure that each medication is delivered correctly and is not mixed with the enteral feeding. This method helps prevent drug interactions and ensures proper administration of each medication.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A theory in nursing, like Orem's Self-Care Deficit, comprises concepts (e.g., self-care), definitions (clarifying terms), relationships (how concepts interact), and assumptions (underlying beliefs), all to explain phenomena patterns or events like patient recovery. This explanatory role guides practice by providing a lens to understand health-related behaviors or outcomes. Formulating legislation is unrelated; theories inform policy indirectly but aren't legal tools. Measuring nursing functions might be a research outcome, not a theory's purpose, which is broader and conceptual. Reflecting the domain of nursing practice describes what theories encompass but not their active function explanation drives their utility. By explaining phenomena, theories offer nurses frameworks to predict, interpret, and address patient needs, making this the most accurate description of a theory's role in nursing science.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Monitoring for oxygen toxicity (D) is critical with a transtracheal catheter, as high oxygen delivery directly to the trachea risks lung damage or neurological symptoms. Nasal placement (A) is incorrect transtracheal is tracheal. Q15min RR (B) is excessive. Continuous flow checks (C) are routine. Toxicity monitoring, per respiratory standards, ensures safe long-term use.
