Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bright red blood in urine post-TURP signals bleeding, requiring monitoring. Output checks are more frequent, rate varies, and tubing stays below bladder level.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a chest tube to manage a hemothorax. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Rationale: Keeping the tube below chest level aids drainage, reinforcing dressings maintains a seal, and monitoring for emphysema detects complications. Stripping is outdated, shallow breathing hinders recovery, and drainage reporting varies by protocol.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for hydrochlorothiazide. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hydrochlorothiazide can cause dizziness due to fluid loss or low BP. It's taken in the morning, decreases potassium, and orange juice is fine.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a cholecystectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Yellowish drainage suggests infection or bile leakage, requiring reporting. Mild fever, moderate pain, and normal heart rate are less urgent post-cholecystectomy.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of insulin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: IV insulin requires frequent glucose monitoring (e.g., every 1-4 hr) to titrate and prevent hypo/hyperglycemia. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
