Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A 64 year-old client scheduled for surgery with a general anesthetic refuses to remove a set of dentures prior to leaving the unit for the operating room. What would be the most appropriate intervention by the nurse?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Ask the client if the preference would be to remove the dentures in the operating room receiving area. Clients anticipating surgery may experience a variety of fears. This choice allows the client control over the situation and fosters the client's sense of self-esteem and self-concept.

Question 2 of 5

Acyclovir (Zovirax) is the agent of choice for which of the following infections?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Acyclovir is an antiviral effective in shortening the duration of infection in herpes. It is used in HIV and AIDS to treat opportunistic viral infections but is not a primary AIDS drug. Candida is a fungus responsive to antifungal medication.

Question 3 of 5

The orientation nurse educator reviewing the biohazard legend with a class of new employees states that the emblem is affixed to containers whenever:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: When body substances are handled, the potential for transmission is increased; therefore, federal regulations require warning labels to communicate with other employees and/or waste collectors. The biohazard alert is a three-ring symbol overlaying a central concentric ring. Blood, drainage from wounds, feces, and urine are all body fluids that can transfer infection and disease to others.

The mother calls the nurse to ask when her newborn will be brought back to her room to finish feeding. The mother states that a doctor came about 30 minutes ago to take the baby for an examination and has not returned with her baby. Which action should be taken by the nurse first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The suspicious circumstance of a doctor taking the baby for 30 minutes warrants immediate initiation of abduction procedures to ensure the newborn's safety.

Question 5 of 5

A newborn has been delivered. An Apgar score is given. What does this scoring system indicate?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The Apgar scoring system was put into place by Virginia Apgar, an anesthesiologist in New York, for the purpose of assessing newborns in the areas of heart rate, respiratory effort, color, muscle tone, and reflex irritability at 1, 5, and sometimes 10 minutes after birth.
