Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A home care nurse is making a follow-up visit with a client who has COPD and is using a compressed oxygen system in his home. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placing the oxygen tank away from curtains or drapes reduces fire risk, as oxygen supports combustion. Checking the gauge weekly is insufficient; it should be daily. Storing the wrench in a locked cabinet is unnecessary. Storing tanks under the bed risks leaks or fire hazards.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is scheduled to receive a transfusion of packed RBCs. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using 0.9% sodium chloride flushes transfusion tubing safely, as it's isotonic and compatible with RBCs, preventing hemolysis. Blood should not be at room temperature for 1 hour to avoid bacterial growth; transfusions should complete within 2-4 hours; a 22-gauge needle is too small, risking hemolysis.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased urinary output indicates furosemide is reducing fluid retention in heart failure. Decreased BUN may suggest overhydration, decreased hemoglobin indicates anemia, and weight gain suggests fluid overload.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Swelling in the affected leg may indicate deep-vein thrombosis, requiring provider notification. Pain, mild fever, and normal heart rate are expected.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has terminal cancer. Which of the following responses by the child's school-age brother should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: School-age children (6-12) often exhibit magical thinking, believing their actions cause events like a sibling's death, leading to guilt. Regression, alienation, and believing death is reversible are less typical.
