Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to discharge a client recovering from a pulmonary embolism (PE). Which topics should the nurse to include in the teaching session? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing the endocrine system of an older female patient. Which finding is considered an expected age-related change in this system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: As individuals age, particularly older women, there tends to be a decrease in facial hair growth. This change is considered a normal part of the aging process and an expected age-related change in the endocrine system. The other options presented, including normal heart tones, thyroid nodules, and an enlarged and firm pituitary gland, are not typically associated with normal aging of the endocrine system.
Question 3 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.
