Question 3 of 5
Before, during and after seizure. The nurse knows that the patient is ALWAYS placed in what position?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct position to place a patient before, during, and after a seizure is on their side, also known as the recovery position. Placing the patient in the side-lying position helps prevent aspiration if the patient vomits and ensures that the airway remains open. This position also helps to prevent choking and allows for drainage of fluids from the mouth. Additionally, it reduces the risk of airway obstruction and helps to maintain proper alignment of the head, neck, and spine. By placing the patient in the side-lying position, the nurse can ensure the patient's safety and well-being during and after a seizure episode.
Question 4 of 5
Pulmonary edema is characterized by:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pulmonary edema is characterized by increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary capillaries and a rise in pulmonary venous pressure, which leads to fluid leaking out of the pulmonary capillaries and into the alveoli. This results in elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, which is a key characteristic of pulmonary edema. Therefore, all of the above alterations (increased hydrostatic pressure, a rise in pulmonary venous pressure, and elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure) are seen in pulmonary edema.
