Adult Health Nursing Answer Key Questions

Question 1 of 5

which is the 'MAIN' goal of ethical practice of the nursing profession including the community setting?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The main goal of ethical practice in the nursing profession, including in the community setting, is centered on the welfare of clients and protecting their rights. Nurses have a professional and ethical obligation to prioritize the well-being and best interests of their patients. This includes providing high-quality care, advocating for their patients, supporting their autonomy, and upholding their rights. Ethical nursing practice is not focused on protecting the nurse or co-workers, preventing reprimand from physicians, or solely meeting the satisfaction of patients' families. Ensuring the welfare and rights of clients is the fundamental ethical principle that guides nursing practice.

Question 2 of 5

The female client who is very anxious and fidgety is blowing off to much carbon dioxide develops tingling sensation of the lips and fingers and is not able to control her respirations. The MOST appropriate nursing intervention for this client is to _____.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The client is experiencing symptoms of hyperventilation, a condition that occurs when there is excessive elimination of carbon dioxide from the body. Breathing into a paper bag can help by allowing the client to rebreathe carbon dioxide, which can help restore the balance of gases in the blood and alleviate the tingling sensations in the lips and fingers. This technique is commonly used to help regulate breathing in cases of hyperventilation. Administering oxygen (choice B) may not be necessary as the issue lies with an imbalance of carbon dioxide, not a lack of oxygen. Instructing the client to blow her nose and take deep breaths (choice A) may not address the underlying problem effectively. Administering IV fluids (choice D) is not relevant to the client's symptoms of hyperventilation.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following is the most common type of ovarian tumor in women of reproductive age?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Among the given options, teratoma (dermoid cyst) is the most common type of ovarian tumor in women of reproductive age. Dermoid cysts are a type of ovarian teratoma that contains tissues derived from the ectoderm (skin), mesoderm (bone, muscle), and endoderm (mucous membranes). They are usually benign and can contain a variety of elements such as hair, teeth, bone, and sebaceous material. Serous cystadenomas and mucinous cystadenomas are more commonly seen in older women, whereas endometriomas are typically associated with endometriosis rather than being the most common ovarian tumor type in women of reproductive age.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following is a common oral manifestation of celiac disease characterized by enamel defects with horizontal or vertical grooves on the teeth?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Enamel hypoplasia is a common oral manifestation of celiac disease characterized by defects in the enamel of the teeth. These defects can appear as horizontal or vertical grooves on the teeth. Enamel hypoplasia is caused by disruptions in the formation of enamel during tooth development, leading to thin enamel or localized pitting. It can affect the appearance and strength of the teeth, making them more prone to sensitivity and breakdown. In individuals with celiac disease, enamel hypoplasia may occur due to malabsorption of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Therefore, when observing oral manifestations such as enamel defects with grooves, it is important to consider the possibility of celiac disease as an underlying cause.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is conducting an assessment to her patient who has edema of the lower extremities due to congestive heart failure. If edema is graded on a scale of +1 (no visible edema in the leg) to 4+ (leg very swollen), what will the Nurse document in her chart if her assessment findings of the edema is SLIGHTLY swollen?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In the grading system used for edema, +1 indicates no visible edema in the leg, +2 indicates slight edema with indentations that quickly resolve, +3 indicates moderate edema with deeper indentations that may take longer to resolve, and +4 indicates severe edema with very swollen legs. In this case, since the edema is described as slightly swollen, the appropriate grade to document would be +2.
