Giddens Concepts for Nursing Practice Test Bank Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse is planning care for a patient beginning hemodialysis. What should be included in this patient’s plan of care? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A. Restrict fluid and protein intake: Patients undergoing hemodialysis typically have restrictions on their fluid and protein intake to prevent fluid overload and minimize the buildup of waste products in the blood that can occur with impaired kidney function.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is caring for a premature infant diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Which medication should the nurse anticipate administering to this client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Indomethacin is a medication commonly used to treat patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants. PDA is a condition where the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta, fails to close after birth. Indomethacin works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, which helps to promote closure of the ductus arteriosus. This medication is often used in premature infants with PDA to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Propranolol is a beta-blocker used for different conditions, antibiotics are used to treat infections, and Prostaglandin E1 is used to maintain ductal patency in certain cardiac conditions where closure is not desired.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for a patient recovering from a below-the-knee amputation. What should be included in this patient’s plan of care? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A. Elevate the stump: Elevation of the stump helps to reduce swelling and improve blood circulation, aiding in the healing process after the amputation.

Question 4 of 5

Following surgery, a patient has not voided for 12 hours. What assessment should the nurse make?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Following surgery, a patient not voiding for 12 hours raises concerns for urinary retention, especially if the patient was catheterized during the surgical procedure. With urinary retention, the bladder can become distended and palpating for bladder distention can help determine if the patient is experiencing this issue. If the bladder is distended, interventions may be needed to address the urinary retention to prevent complications such as urinary tract infection or bladder distention-related discomfort. The other assessment options (percuting for gastric tympany, auscultating for bowel sounds, inspecting for edema of the urethra) are not as relevant in assessing a patient's urinary status post-surgery.

Question 5 of 5

A client admitted with chronic venous insufficiency has an infected wound of the left lower extremity. Which clinical manifestations does the nurse anticipate during the client's assessment? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: 1. Pulses absent in the extremity with the wound (Option A): In chronic venous insufficiency, damaged valves in the veins result in blood pooling in the lower extremities. This can lead to decreased arterial perfusion and impaired circulation, causing weakened or absent pulses in the affected extremity.
