Question 1 of 5
A nurse is calculating the total fluid intake for a client during a 4-hr period. The client consumes 1 cup of coffee, 4 oz of orange juice, 3 oz of water, 1 cup of flavored gelatin, 1 cup of tea, 5 oz of broth, and 3 oz of water. The nurse should record how many mL of intake on the client's record? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: 1170
Rationale:
Total intake: 1 cup coffee (240 mL) + 4 oz juice (120 mL) + 3 oz water (90 mL) + 1 cup gelatin (240 mL) + 1 cup tea (240 mL) + 5 oz broth (150 mL) + 3 oz water (90 mL) = 1170 mL.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing the patient for respiratory complications of immobility. Which action will the nurse take assessing the respiratory system?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To properly assess for respiratory complications related to immobility, the nurse should auscultate all lung fields to detect abnormal lung sounds such as crackles, wheezes, or decreased breath sounds. This thorough assessment helps identify early signs of respiratory compromise, such as atelectasis or pneumonia.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse manager is observing the care provided by a nurse who is in orientation to the unit. Which of the following actions by the nurse indicates the nurse manager should intervene?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Opening the top flap of a sterile tray toward the body increases the risk of contamination and compromises sterility, which is critical in maintaining aseptic technique during procedures.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing a smoking cessation class for family members of patients with lung cancer. The nurse believes that the class will convert many smokers to nonsmokers once they realize the benefits of not smoking. Which health care model is the nurse following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The health belief model explains health behaviors based on an individual's perceptions of the severity of a health issue, the perceived benefits of taking action, and the perceived barriers to action. The nurse’s belief that smokers will quit once they realize the benefits aligns with this model.
