FNP Pediatric Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Whoch of the ff. is a desired outcome for the nursing diagnosis of acute pain for a patient with acute thrombophlebitis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A desired outcome for the nursing diagnosis of acute pain related to acute thrombophlebitis would be for the patient to be able to participate in desired activities. By achieving pain relief and being able to engage in activities they enjoy or find important, the patient's overall quality of life can be improved. This outcome focuses on enhancing the patient's ability to function and maintain independence despite the pain associated with the thrombophlebitis. It reflects a holistic approach to care that considers the patient's physical, emotional, and social well-being. Ultimately, the goal is to help the patient achieve a level of comfort and mobility that allows them to resume their desired activities.
Question 2 of 5
As the nurse cares for a patient with angioedema, differs from urticaria in that angioedema is characterized by which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Angioedema differs from urticaria in that it involves deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissue compared to urticaria, which affects the upper layers of the skin. This deeper involvement in angioedema can lead to swelling that appears as large, raised areas that often have a deeper hue compared to the surrounding skin. Angioedema does not typically involve small, fluid-filled vesicles like urticaria, and it is not necessarily more pruritic. Additionally, angioedema tends to last longer than urticaria, which is why option D is not accurate.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient with HIV who has diarrhea. Which of the following would be most therapeutic to teach the patient to avoid in the diet to reduce diarrhea?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Patients with HIV who have diarrhea should avoid consuming raw fruits and vegetables. Raw fruits and vegetables can be more difficult for the digestive system to break down, potentially worsening diarrhea. It is recommended to opt for cooked fruits and vegetables instead as they are easier to digest and less likely to irritate the gut. This can help reduce the frequency and severity of diarrhea in patients with HIV.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client who will be discharged soon how to change a sterile dressing on the right leg. During the teaching session, the nurse notices redness, swelling and induration at the wound site. What do these signs suggest?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The presence of redness, swelling, and induration at the wound site are classic signs of infection. Redness is caused by inflammation, swelling occurs due to fluid accumulation in response to infection, and induration refers to the hardening of the tissue, which is a result of the body's immune response. Infections can lead to delayed wound healing, increased pain, and other complications. It is essential to address these signs promptly to prevent further complications and promote healing.
Question 5 of 5
A client with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), an autoimmune disorder, is admitted to an acute care facility. Concerned about hemorrhage, the nurse monitors the client's platelet count and observes closely for signs and symptoms of bleeding. The client is at greatest risk for cerebral hemorrhage when the platelet count falls below:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a client with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a platelet count falling below 20,000/ul puts them at the greatest risk for cerebral hemorrhage. This is because the risk of spontaneous bleeding, especially in critical areas like the brain, significantly increases as platelet counts drop below this level. The brain is a sensitive organ, and even minor bleeds can have serious consequences. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare providers to closely monitor platelet counts and promptly intervene to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage in clients with ITP.
