Question 1 of 5
The nurse and urologist have both been unsuccessful
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: Rationale: E is the correct answer because it addresses the need for further assessment and intervention by the healthcare team. The nurse and urologist's unsuccessful attempts indicate a need for a different approach. Options A, B, C, and D do not address the need for additional assessment or intervention. Option A focuses on positioning, B on technique, C on depth of insertion, and D on frequency of self-catheterization. None of these options address the need for a different plan of care. Therefore, E is the correct choice as it prompts the healthcare team to reassess and consider alternative strategies.
Question 2 of 5
A patient with a recent history of nephrolithiasis has
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: IV fluid administration. This is the most appropriate choice for a patient with nephrolithiasis as it helps to increase urine volume and dilute the concentration of minerals in the urine, reducing the risk of stone formation. Adequate hydration is crucial in preventing the recurrence of kidney stones. Choice A is incomplete and does not offer a specific intervention for nephrolithiasis. Choice B is unnecessary and could potentially cause harm by altering the pH of the urine. Choice C is blank and does not provide any relevant information for managing nephrolithiasis.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient with impaired renal which the nurse should monitor the patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because impaired renal function can lead to the accumulation of wastes in the body, causing toxicity. Monitoring this is crucial for the patient's overall health. Choice B is incorrect as it does not directly relate to the consequences of impaired renal function. Choice C, retention of potassium, is also incorrect as it is a specific outcome of impaired renal function and not the primary focus of monitoring. Choice D, depletion of calcium, is incorrect as impaired renal function is more likely to lead to hypercalcemia rather than hypocalcemia. Therefore, the nurse should prioritize monitoring the accumulation of wastes in a patient with impaired renal function.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient scheduled for renal should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because being NPO for 12 hours prior to a renal biopsy helps prevent complications such as aspiration during sedation. Choice B is incorrect as relaxation techniques are not typically relevant for a renal biopsy. Choice C is incorrect as conscious sedation is not routinely required for a renal biopsy. Choice D is incorrect as IV potassium chloride administration is unrelated to renal biopsy preparation and may even be contraindicated.
Question 5 of 5
Dipstick testing of an older adult patients urine indicates the presence of protein. Which of the following statements is true of this assessment finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Protein in urine can indicate renal issues, so further testing like urine protein/creatinine ratio is needed. 2. Proteinuria doesn't directly relate to urinary incontinence. 3. The finding is not related to age or gender, ruling out options B and D. 4. Option A is correct as it emphasizes the need for additional testing to confirm the presence and significance of protein in urine.
