Adult Health Nursing Study Guide Answers Questions
Question 1 of 5
What PRIORITY precautionary measure should be done by the nurse during the oxygen therapy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Checking the humidifier's water regularly is the priority precautionary measure that should be done by the nurse during oxygen therapy. Maintaining adequate water in the humidifier ensures proper humidification of the oxygen delivered to the patient, helping prevent mucous membrane dryness and irritation. Dry mucous membranes can lead to discomfort, increased risk of infection, and potential damage to the respiratory system. Therefore, ensuring the humidifier's water level is appropriate is crucial for the safety and well-being of the patient receiving oxygen therapy. Limiting visitors, attaching "No Smoking" signage, and connecting the bait to the oxygen tank are important precautions as well, but checking the humidifier's water is the priority measure in this scenario.

Question 4 of 5
On the first postpartum day, a primiparous patient complains of perineal pain that was unrelieved by Ibuprofen 400 mg given two hours ago. Nurse Kayla should assess for which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In a primiparous patient who complains of unrelieved perineal pain on the first postpartum day, Nurse Kayla should assess for a perineal hematoma. A perineal hematoma is a collection of blood in the perineal tissues and can cause significant pain and discomfort. It can be a result of trauma during delivery or due to a blood vessel rupture. This condition requires prompt assessment and intervention to prevent complications such as infection or excessive bleeding. Vaginal laceration would typically be identified during the delivery process and would have been repaired by the healthcare provider. History of drug abuse, while important to know for overall patient care, is not as relevant in this immediate postpartum pain assessment. Puerperal infection usually presents with other signs such as fever, foul-smelling discharge, and uterine tenderness, which are not mentioned in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
You informed the mother about the normal psychosocial development of pre schoolers. She correctly understands your health teaching if she verbalizes that ________.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Option A indicates an understanding of the normal psychosocial development of preschoolers. It reflects the fact that during this stage, children may demonstrate frustration and have temper tantrums as they strive for independence and attempt to do things by themselves. This behavior is a common part of their development as they learn self-control, autonomy, and decision-making skills. The other options do not directly relate to normal preschooler development but rather touch upon separate issues such as separation anxiety, possessiveness, and social behaviors that are not necessarily abnormal for preschoolers.
