Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client following a below-the-knee amputation. The client states, 'My life is over.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Offering to connect with another amputee provides peer support and hope, addressing the client's emotional distress constructively. Other responses may dismiss or challenge feelings.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has anemia. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse anticipate with the client's condition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anemia reduces oxygen-carrying capacity, causing headaches due to tissue hypoxia. Tachycardia, pallor, and fatigue are more common than bradycardia, heat intolerance, or flushed skin.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in the emergency department admitted a client who is having a myocardial infarction. The client has been placed on the heart monitor. Which of the following electrocardiogram strips is indicative of a myocardial infarction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ST segment elevation on the ECG indicates myocardial infarction due to acute ischemia. Other strips may show different arrhythmias or normal rhythms.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer levofloxacin 750 mg via intermittent IV infusion over 90 min to a client. Available is levofloxacin 750 mg/150 mL. How many mL/hr should the nurse set the IV pump to administer?
Correct Answer: 100
Rationale: Rate = 150 mL / 1.5 hr = 100 mL/hr, calculated to deliver the dose over 90 minutes.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's cardiac monitor for dysrhythmias. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication for the placement of a permanent pacemaker?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Complete AV block with rates below 40/min risks severe bradycardia and symptoms, necessitating a pacemaker. Other conditions are less severe or not indications.
