Rationale: The correct answer is C: Therapeutic bath. A sitz bath is specifically designed to provide therapeutic benefits, such as relief for conditions like hemorrhoids, vaginal infections, or postpartum discomfort.

Question 3 of 5
Nurse Michelle should know that the drainage is normal 4 days after a sigmoid colostomy when the stool is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: bloody. After a sigmoid colostomy, normal drainage should be reddish or pinkish in color due to blood mixed with stool. This indicates healthy healing of the surgical site. Green liquid (choice A) is abnormal and may indicate infection. Solid formed stool (choice B) is not expected post-colostomy. Loose stool (choice C) may indicate inadequate bowel preparation or dietary issues, but it is not specifically indicative of normal drainage after a sigmoid colostomy.
Question 4 of 5
What might happen if no action is taken quickly for a client with a respiratory rate of 4 breaths/minute after receiving morphine sulfate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Respiratory arrest. Morphine sulfate is a central nervous system depressant that can cause respiratory depression, leading to dangerously low respiratory rates. A respiratory rate of 4 breaths/minute indicates severe respiratory depression, which can progress to respiratory arrest if not addressed promptly. Without intervention, the client may stop breathing altogether, leading to respiratory failure and potential death. Incorrect choices: A: Asthma attack - Morphine sulfate does not directly cause asthma attacks. C: Seizure - Respiratory depression from morphine overdose is more likely to cause respiratory arrest than a seizure. D: Wake up on her own - Severe respiratory depression is a medical emergency and the client will not wake up without intervention.
Question 5 of 5
What are Cheyne-Stokes respirations?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because Cheyne-Stokes respirations are characterized by a pattern of progressively deeper breaths followed by shallower breaths with apneic periods. This pattern indicates an abnormal breathing rhythm often seen in conditions affecting the brainstem. Choice B is incorrect because it describes a different condition known as Biot's respiration. Choice C is incorrect as it describes irregular breathing without the characteristic pattern seen in Cheyne-Stokes. Choice D is incorrect as it describes shallow breathing with an increased respiratory rate, which is not the pattern seen in Cheyne-Stokes respirations.
