Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) develops a platelet count of 10,000 mm3 during chemotherapy treatment. What is an appropriate nursing intervention for this client, based on this finding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Low platelets increase infection risk; monitoring temperature detects febrile neutropenia early for timely intervention.
Question 2 of 5
Upon assessment of the client's lungs, the nurse hears continuous, high-pitched, musical sounds. This should be documented as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wheezes are high-pitched, musical sounds due to narrowed airways, unlike crackles, rhonchi, or vesicular sounds.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 35-year-old male who is diagnosed with epididymitis. Which statement would indicate the client understands teaching about this condition?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: If epididymitis is STI-related, treating sexual partners prevents reinfection, showing understanding of the condition.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse receives report at 0700 on a client who has 600 mL of IV fluid left in the bag. The IV is running at 100 mL per hour. At what time should the nurse expect to change the bag (military time)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calculate time: 600 mL / 100 mL/h = 6 hours; 0700 + 6 hours = 1300.
Question 5 of 5
A patient is ordered 20 unit/kg IV bolus of Heparin. The patient weighs 154 lbs. Heparin is supplied 25,000 units/250 mL. How many mL will the nurse administer? (round to the nearest whole number)
Correct Answer: 14 mL
Rationale: 154 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 70 kg; 20 units/kg × 70 kg = 1400 units; 1400 units ÷ (25,000 units/250 mL) = 14 mL.
