Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hematuria. In acute glomerulonephritis, there is inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys leading to blood in the urine. This is known as hematuria. Polyuria (choice
A) is not typically seen in this condition as the kidneys are not able to effectively filter urine. Hypotension (choice
B) is unlikely as fluid retention and hypertension are more common due to decreased kidney function. Weight loss (choice
C) is not a common finding as the condition often leads to fluid retention.
Therefore, hematuria is the most expected finding in acute glomerulonephritis.
Extract:

Question 2 of 5

Extract:

Question 3 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Choose a vein that is palpable and straight. This is the best action because a palpable and straight vein is easier to access and less likely to cause complications during venipuncture. Selecting a visible vein reduces the risk of accidental puncture of surrounding structures. Elevating the arm (choice
B) can help make the vein more prominent, but it is not the primary action. Applying a tourniquet (choice
C) is important to help visualize the vein but does not ensure the vein is suitable. Selecting the dominant arm (choice
D) is not necessary and may limit the client's mobility.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is performing postmortem care for a recently deceased client prior to the client's family visit. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hold the client's eyes shut for a few seconds. This action is important to maintain a dignified appearance for the deceased client and to create a peaceful and respectful image for the family during their visit. Crossing the client's arms (
A) or placing them in a high-Fowler's position (
C) may not be necessary and can be considered unnecessary handling of the body. Removing the client's dentures (
D) is not typically part of postmortem care unless specifically instructed. Holding the eyes shut briefly is a culturally sensitive and respectful practice that can help create a serene appearance for the family.
