Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of epilepsy. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Avoiding driving until seizures are controlled ensures safety, as seizures can impair consciousness and coordination.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about toilet training with the guardians of a toddler who has a cognitive impairment. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Giving the toddler a sticker after each successful toileting attempt is correct. Positive reinforcement, such as stickers or praise, encourages consistency and motivation, which is particularly beneficial for children with cognitive impairments.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client's lower extremity following the placement of a cast earlier in the day. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as manifestations of compartment syndrome? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Rationale: Pale-colored toes are a sign of compromised circulation, which is a key manifestation of compartment syndrome. Decreased blood flow to the affected limb can cause pallor, which requires immediate intervention to prevent permanent damage. Diminished capillary refill is correct. Delayed capillary refill (longer than 2 seconds) suggests poor perfusion, which can indicate increased pressure within the compartment. Sensation of tingling is correct. Paresthesia (tingling or numbness) is an early sign of nerve compression due to swelling within the compartment. If untreated, this can progress to permanent nerve and muscle damage.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for furosemide. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can cause hypokalemia, so monitoring potassium levels is essential to prevent complications like arrhythmias.
