Question 3 of 5
Which term refers to a newborn born before completion of week 37 of gestation, regardless of birth weight?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The term "preterm" refers to a newborn born before completion of week 37 of gestation, regardless of birth weight. Preterm birth can lead to various health issues for the newborn, as they may not have fully developed before being born. It is important for healthcare providers to closely monitor preterm infants to ensure they receive the proper care and support for their development.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse has been teaching an adult who has iron deficiency anemia about those foods that she needs to include in her meal plans. Which of the following, if selected, would indicate to the nurse that the client understands the dietary instructions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables are good sources of vitamin C and non-heme iron, which can help improve iron absorption in individuals with iron deficiency anemia. Bananas and nuts do not have a direct impact on iron absorption. Coffee and tea contain compounds that can inhibit iron absorption. Dairy products, while an important part of a balanced diet, do not specifically aid in improving iron levels. Thus, selecting citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables indicates that the client understands the dietary instructions provided by the nurse to manage iron deficiency anemia.
Question 5 of 5
Following a unilateral adrenalectomy, the nurse would assess for hyperkalemia shown by which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Following a unilateral adrenalectomy, there is a risk of developing hyperkalemia due to the altered balance of electrolytes. Hyperkalemia is characterized by high levels of potassium in the blood, which can lead to various symptoms. One of the key manifestations of hyperkalemia is muscle weakness. This occurs because high potassium levels can disrupt the normal function of skeletal muscles, leading to weakness and potentially affecting motor function. Therefore, the nurse would assess for muscle weakness as a sign of hyperkalemia in a patient following a unilateral adrenalectomy. Options B, C, and D are not typically associated with hyperkalemia.
