Question 2 of 5
A client develops hyperthermia related to a diagnosis of Pneumonia. Which of the following nursing interventions would be effective in the treatment of hyperthermia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hyperthemia is an expected consequence of the infectious disease process. Fever can produce mild, short-term effects or, when prolonged, can cause life-threatening effects. The nurse should administer antipyretic medications as indicated for elevated temperatures and enforce frequent rest periods because rest increases energy reserve, which is depleted by an increased metabolic, heart, and respiratory rate. Ice packs and tepid baths can be used with caution, but the most effective combined intervention includes antipyretics and rest. Increasing room temperature and restricting fluids are not appropriate.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client about ways to increase personal safety in the home. During the interaction, the client advises the nurse that he has no plans to make the recommended changes. What response by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When providing patient teaching, the nurse must be aware that not all recommendations will be prioritized by the client. Offering more information respects the client's autonomy without threatening or coercing them.

When explaining a tonometer test results of $28 "mathrm{~mm} "mathrm{Hg}$ to a client, the nurse would use which explanation to be most accurate?

Rationale: The tonometer measures intraocular pressure in the anterior chamber. A reading of 28 mm Hg is above normal (12-20 mm Hg), indicating potential glaucoma that could lead to retinal damage if untreated.
