Introduction to Nursing 203 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
What action indicates the client needs more practice in combining two insulins?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Choice C is correct because instilling intermediate-acting insulin into the vial of short-acting insulin is incorrect practice as it can lead to incorrect dosing and timing. The client should not mix different types of insulin in the same vial. Incorrect Choices: A: Rolling the vial to mix intermediate-acting insulin is a correct technique. B: Instilling air into insulin vials is incorrect but not related to combining insulins. D: Inverting vials before withdrawing insulin is a common practice and not indicative of issues in combining insulins.
Question 2 of 5
When preparing the epinephrine injection from an ampule, Nurse Andrae initially:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because tapping the ampule at the top helps ensure that all the medication flows to the base, making it easier to withdraw the correct dose. Tapping prevents medication from getting stuck at the top. Checking the expiration date (B) is important but not the initial step. Removing the needle cap and expelling air (C) is done after drawing up the medication. Breaking the ampule neck (D) is the final step after ensuring the medication is properly prepared.
Question 3 of 5
A physician’s order reads Potassium chloride (KCl) 30mEq to be added to 1L ml normal saline and to be given over 10-hour period. The available potassium chloride is 40mEq per 20ml. Nurse Corazon should prepare how many milliliters of Potassium Chloride to administer the correct dose of medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the correct amount of Potassium Chloride needed, we first find the total amount needed in 1L of normal saline: 30mEq. Then, we determine the concentration of KCl solution: 40mEq in 20ml. Next, we set up a proportion to find how many milliliters of KCl are needed to provide 30mEq. By cross-multiplying and solving, we find that 15ml of KCl is required. Therefore, choice A (15ml) is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated amount needed based on the given information.
Question 4 of 5
A pediatrician’s prescription reads “ampicillin sodium 125 mg IV every 6 hours.” The medication label reads “when reconstituted with 7.4 mL of bacteriostatic water, the final concentration is 1 g/7.4 mL.” The nurse prepares to draw up how many milliliters to administer 1 dose?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (0.925 mL). To calculate the volume needed for 125 mg of ampicillin sodium at a concentration of 1 g/7.4 mL, we use the formula: Volume = (Desired dose * Volume of final concentration) / Concentration of final solution. Substituting the values gives Volume = (125 mg * 7.4 mL) / 1 g = 925 mg / 1000 mg = 0.925 mL. Therefore, the nurse should draw up 0.925 mL to administer one dose. Choice A (1.1 mL) is incorrect as it is not the correct calculation based on the given data. Choice B (0.54 mL) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated volume needed for the desired dose. Choice C (7.425 mL) is incorrect as it miscalculates the volume needed and does not align with the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is providing care for a client who underwent mitral valve replacement. The best example of a measurable client outcome goal is to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goal. Walking from his room to the end of the hall and back before discharge is specific in distance, measurable in terms of achievement, achievable based on the client's condition, relevant to his recovery, and time-bound before discharge. Choice A is not measurable in terms of progress. Choice B is vague and not specific. Choice D is not directly related to the client's recovery from mitral valve replacement. Therefore, choice C is the best example of a measurable client outcome goal.
