Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving peritoneal dialysis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Warming the dialysate solution to body temperature prevents discomfort and vasoconstriction. Rapid administration risks complications, weight is monitored daily, and sterile gloves are used for catheter care.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a left-sided pneumothorax and a chest tube in place with a closed drainage system. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Continuous bubbling in the water seal chamber indicates an air leak, requiring immediate provider notification. Tidaling is normal, 100 mL output is expected, and absent left-sided breath sounds are consistent with pneumothorax.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of hyperthyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
