Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements would be the nurse's response to a famiiy member asking questions about a client's transient ischemic attack (TIA)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response would be: "It is a temporary interruption in the blood flow to the brain." This response provides a clear and accurate explanation of a transient ischemic attack (TIA), which is commonly known as a "mini-stroke." A TIA is indeed a temporary episode where there is a brief interruption in the blood flow to the brain, leading to symptoms similar to those of a stroke, but without lasting damage. This response would give the family member a better understanding of what a TIA is and help alleviate concerns about permanent brain damage.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
What is the best initial action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best initial action for the nurse to take when a client is experiencing hyperventilation is to try to have the client breathe slower. This is because hyperventilation is often caused by rapid, shallow breathing and slowing down the breathing pattern can help restore normal gas exchange and alleviate symptoms. Providing oxygen via a nasal cannula or administering sodium bicarbonate would not directly address the underlying issue of hyperventilation. Monitoring fluid balance is important for overall assessment but not the priority when dealing with acute respiratory distress due to hyperventilation.
