Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 9
What complication of fractures is caused by increased pressure which can result in decreased circulation to the area?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acute compartment syndrome is the correct answer. It involves increased pressure within muscles, leading to decreased blood flow and tissue damage. Venous thromboembolism (Choice A) is a condition where a blood clot forms in a vein, usually in the leg. Fat embolism syndrome (Choice C) occurs when fat globules enter the bloodstream and block blood vessels. Hemorrhage (Choice D) refers to bleeding, which can occur with fractures but does not specifically involve increased pressure leading to decreased circulation as in acute compartment syndrome.
Question 2 of 9
What evaluation indicates successful progress on the client goal of increasing daily physical activity?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because reporting less fatigue when walking up stairs indicates improved physical endurance, showing progress in increasing daily activity. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because decreased social interaction, increased NSAID use, and experiencing a fall are not indicators of successful progress in increasing daily physical activity.
Question 3 of 9
What are signs of hearing loss? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 9
A client is diagnosed with glaucoma. The provider needs to determine if it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. What test does the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gonioscopy is the appropriate test to anticipate in this scenario. It is used to distinguish between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma by examining the angle where the iris meets the cornea. Choice A, ultrasonic imaging, is not typically used to differentiate between these types of glaucoma. Choice C, corneal staining, is used to detect corneal abrasions and defects, not to differentiate between types of glaucoma. Choice D, electroretinography, is a test that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina and is not specific to differentiating between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma.
Question 5 of 9
What nursing intervention is best to improve communication with a hearing-impaired client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 6 of 9
What are signs of hearing loss? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 7 of 9
What complication of fractures is caused by increased pressure which can result in decreased circulation to the area?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acute compartment syndrome is the correct answer. It involves increased pressure within muscles, leading to decreased blood flow and tissue damage. Venous thromboembolism (Choice A) is a condition where a blood clot forms in a vein, usually in the leg. Fat embolism syndrome (Choice C) occurs when fat globules enter the bloodstream and block blood vessels. Hemorrhage (Choice D) refers to bleeding, which can occur with fractures but does not specifically involve increased pressure leading to decreased circulation as in acute compartment syndrome.
Question 8 of 9
Which of the following clients are at an increased risk for deep vein thrombosis following a reduction and internal fixation of the hip? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: a
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 9 of 9
Why is traction used?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Traction is used to help align the bones properly during the healing process. Choice A is correct because traction assists in allowing the bones to realign correctly, promoting proper healing. Choice B is incorrect as traction does not decrease the risk of misalignment; instead, it helps reduce misalignment by aiding in bone alignment. Choice C is incorrect because while traction indirectly supports wound healing by ensuring proper bone alignment, its primary purpose is not wound healing. Choice D is incorrect as the primary purpose of traction is not to allow the client to rest longer, but rather to aid in bone alignment for optimal healing.
