Essential of Pediatric Nursing Test Bank Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a discharge criterion from the PACU for a patient following surgery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oxygen saturation above 90% is a discharge criterion from the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit) for a patient following surgery. This indicates that the patient is effectively exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is essential for proper respiratory function. Adequate oxygenation is crucial for the patient to be safely discharged from the PACU and transitioned to a regular hospital room or home. Monitoring oxygen saturation helps ensure that the patient's respiratory status is stable before leaving the PACU. If a patient's oxygen saturation is below 90%, further assessment and interventions may be necessary before discharge is considered.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing a client for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to confirm or rule out a spinal cord lesion. During the MRI scan, which of the following would pose a threat to the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The client wearing a watch and wedding band would pose a threat during the MRI scan. MRI machines use strong magnetic fields that can interact with metal objects. The presence of metal objects such as a watch and wedding band can lead to serious safety risks for the client inside the MRI machine. These metal objects can become projectiles or heat up, causing burns or other injuries. Thus, it is crucial for the client to remove all metal objects before undergoing an MRI scan to ensure their safety.
