Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a cholecystectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Early ambulation post-cholecystectomy prevents complications like thrombosis and promotes recovery. Supine positioning is not required, laxatives are per need, and heating pads are contraindicated.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in the acute mental health unit is admitting a new client with an eating disorder. The nurse is aware that which of the following are considered comorbidities of eating disorders? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: Depression, OCD, and anxiety are common comorbidities with eating disorders, linked to emotional and obsessive behaviors. Schizophrenia and sleep disorders are not typically associated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is assessing a client who reports ingesting thirty diazepam tablets 20 minutes ago. The client is lethargic and has a respiratory rate of 10/min. After securing the client's airway and initiating an IV, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administering flumazenil, a benzodiazepine antagonist, is the priority to reverse diazepam overdose effects, such as lethargy and respiratory depression, by blocking GABA receptor binding. This prevents further respiratory compromise. Evaluating suicidal behavior is important but not urgent. Monitoring the IV site is secondary to reversing the overdose. Seizure precautions may be needed later but are not the immediate priority.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is admitting a client who has dementia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to reduce the risk for client injury?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Frequent toileting reduces fall risk in dementia patients, who may forget or struggle to reach the bathroom. Side rails can increase fall risk if climbed over, bedside table placement is irrelevant, and TV at night may disrupt sleep.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting in the care of a client who is to receive a transfusion of packed RBCs. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Checking the client's blood type and crossmatch in the medical record ensures compatibility, preventing transfusion reactions. Blood should not be kept at room temperature, dextrose causes hemolysis, and vital signs are checked before, at 15 minutes, and after, not hourly.
