Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Consuming caffeinated coffee can potentially contribute to cardiac dysrhythmias in susceptible individuals. Caffeine is a stimulant that can increase heart rate and blood pressure, leading to arrhythmias in some people. Regular intake of caffeinated beverages can disrupt the normal electrical activity of the heart, especially in those with underlying cardiac conditions. Therefore, the nurse would identify drinking caffeinated coffee as a possible contributing factor to the client's dysrhythmia.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A vaginal birth is preferred over a Cesarean section for women who have aortic stenosis. Aortic stenosis is a type of congenital heart disease that restricts blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body due to a narrowing of the aortic valve. In women with aortic stenosis, the increased blood volume and heart rate during labor and delivery can put extra strain on the heart. However, in most cases, vaginal delivery is preferred over a Cesarean section to avoid the risks associated with major abdominal surgery, such as bleeding, infection, and thrombophlebitis. A vaginal birth allows for a more gradual and controlled increase in cardiac output compared to the more sudden changes that can occur during a Cesarean section. Additionally, the stress of labor may mimic the stress test for some patients, providing valuable information about their heart function. However, each case is unique and must be evaluated by the healthcare team

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a complex, life-threatening condition characterized by widespread activation of coagulation within the blood vessels. In the early stages of DIC, there is excessive clot formation (formation of small clots) throughout the body due to the dysregulation of coagulation factors. As the disease progresses, the body's clotting factors become depleted, leading to a state of systemic anticoagulation. This anticoagulant state increases the risk of hemorrhage (bleeding) as the blood is no longer able to adequately clot. Therefore, hemorrhage is a pathological change that occurs late in the course of DIC.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Instructing the participant to track the relationship between urine color and activities would be the most appropriate response in this situation. Occasionally having pink urine can be caused by various factors, such as certain foods, medications, strenuous exercise, or even dehydration. By tracking when the urine appears pink in relation to these activities, the participant can gather valuable information to share with a healthcare provider if needed. This approach can help identify any patterns and determine the underlying cause, guiding further evaluation or management if necessary. It allows for a proactive and informative approach before seeking medical attention, as long as there are no other concerning symptoms present.
