Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a urgent care clinic is caring for an infant who presents with vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased oral intake. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oliguria (reduced urine output) is a common sign of dehydration in infants.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is wearing anti-embolic stockings. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ensuring the stockings are not too tight is crucial to prevent complications such as impaired circulation.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is counseling a group of clients from a town that was affected by a hurricane 6 months ago. For which of the following clients should the nurse initiate a referral to assess for the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A, B, E
Rationale: The correct answers are A, B, and E because they exhibit key symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTS
D). Feeling disconnected (
A), having frequent nightmares (
B), and persistent anger (E) are common manifestations of PTSD. Feeling disconnected indicates emotional numbing, nightmares are a symptom of intrusive thoughts, and anger represents hyperarousal.
Choices C and D do not directly relate to PTSD symptoms. Expressing a realization about life changes (
C) may indicate acceptance of the situation, not necessarily PTSD. Persistent anger (
D) can suggest unresolved issues but is not specific to PTSD. By referring clients who exhibit symptoms A, B, and E, the nurse can ensure appropriate assessment and intervention for PTSD.
Question 4 of 5
Which information is the nurse assessing when appraising the applicability of a research article?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When appraising the applicability of a research article, the nurse is particularly assessing the degree to which the results relate to a specific population. This involves considering the characteristics of the study participants, such as age, gender, ethnicity, and health conditions. Understanding how applicable the research findings are to the population of interest is crucial in determining whether the results can be effectively applied in clinical practice.
