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
Which antiparkinsonian drug is associated with the on-off phenomenon and the wearing-off effect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Levodopa is the antiparkinsonian drug associated with the on-off phenomenon and the wearing-off effect. The on-off phenomenon refers to the sudden and unpredictable fluctuations between periods of symptom control (on) and periods of symptom re-emergence (off) in patients with Parkinson's disease receiving levodopa therapy. This can happen as the disease progresses and the brain becomes less responsive to the medication.

Question 4 of 5
Mr. Galino is diagnosed to have Raynaud's disease. Nurse Oliver gives instructions to the client to stop smoking because it causes:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Raynaud's disease is a condition characterized by vasospasms of the small arteries, usually in the fingers and toes, in response to cold temperatures or stress. Smoking can worsen the symptoms of Raynaud's disease because it causes vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels. Nicotine in cigarettes can trigger vasospasms, leading to further restriction of blood flow to the extremities. Therefore, it is essential for individuals with Raynaud's disease to stop smoking to help improve blood circulation and reduce the frequency and severity of vasospasms.
Question 5 of 5
a school-age child is admitted in vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis. the child's care should include which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis, it is crucial to focus on adequate hydration and pain management. Hydration is essential to prevent further sickling of red blood cells, which can exacerbate tissue damage and pain. Pain management is a key aspect of care as vaso-occlusive crises often cause severe pain that requires prompt and effective treatment. Administering heparin is not indicated in a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis as it is primarily used for conditions like deep vein thrombosis. Correcting acidosis and replacing factor VIII are also not typically part of the management of a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis.
