Question 3 of 5
Post-operative convalescent period is time:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. The convalescent period starts when the patient leaves the recovery room after surgery. 2. It ends when the patient is discharged from the hospital. 3. This period includes recovery, monitoring, and post-operative care. 4. Choice A is incorrect as it only considers the transfer time. 5. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses solely on the recovery from anesthesia. 6. Choice D is incorrect as it excludes the crucial recovery room period. Summary: The correct answer is C because it accurately defines the post-operative convalescent period from leaving the recovery room to hospital discharge, encompassing the entire post-operative care process.
Question 4 of 5
In evaluating the effect of nitroglycerin, Nurse Arthur should know that it reduces preload and relieves angina by:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because nitroglycerin is a vasodilator that works by dilating veins, reducing venous return to the heart, and subsequently decreasing preload. By decreasing preload, nitroglycerin reduces the work the heart has to do, which helps relieve angina symptoms. A is incorrect because nitroglycerin does not increase contractility or slow heart rate. B is incorrect because nitroglycerin does not increase AV conduction or heart rate. C is incorrect because nitroglycerin does not decrease contractility or oxygen consumption. In summary, the key mechanism of action of nitroglycerin is reducing venous return through vasodilation, leading to decreased preload and relief of angina symptoms.
Question 5 of 5
What should a male client taking an anticoagulant be taught to do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Avoid foods high in vitamin K. Vitamin K can interfere with the effectiveness of anticoagulants. Teaching the client to avoid foods high in vitamin K, such as leafy greens and broccoli, helps maintain the stability of their blood thinning medication. Reporting incidents of diarrhea (choice A) is important for monitoring side effects but not directly related to anticoagulant therapy. Using a straight razor when shaving (choice C) can increase the risk of cuts and bleeding, which is not ideal for someone on anticoagulants. Taking aspirin for pain relief (choice D) is not recommended as it can increase the risk of bleeding when combined with anticoagulants.
