Question 4 of 5
The home health nurse is evaluating a male client who manages his asthma and measures his peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). Today he is experiencing an acute exacerbation and tells the nurse his PEFR is 60% of his personal best readings. Which PRN med should the nurse instruct the client to use?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: For an acute asthma exacerbation with a PEFR at 60% of personal best, the nurse should instruct the client to use albuterol 2.5 to 5 mg via nebulization. Albuterol, a short-acting beta-agonist, rapidly relieves bronchospasm, improving airflow during an exacerbation. Oxygen may supplement but doesn't treat the underlying constriction, salmeterol is a long-acting medication for maintenance, and epinephrine is for anaphylaxis, not routine asthma flares. Albuterol's quick onset makes it the best PRN choice here.
Question 5 of 5
A young adult male client has a leg cast following an open reduction for a fractured tibia. He is in skeletal traction with 10 pounds of weight. Approximately two hours after returning to the unit, he reports severe pain in the affected extremity, and the nurse observes that the limb is blue and blanched. Which action should the nurse perform first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Severe pain, blueness, and blanching in a limb in traction post-fracture suggest compartment syndrome or vascular compromise, requiring the nurse to first notify the HCP. These signs indicate potential neurovascular impairment, a surgical emergency needing immediate evaluation (e.g., fasciotomy). Pain medication masks symptoms, releasing traction risks alignment without orders, and monitoring delays intervention, making prompt HCP notification the critical first step to prevent permanent damage.
