1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following abdominal surgery. Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Getting up and walking with the physical therapy aide promotes early mobility and is a positive statement. Doing leg exercises every hour while awake helps prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Leaving antiembolic stockings on during sleep helps prevent DVT so the client's statement is incorrect. Using a footstool while sitting in a chair promotes proper positioning and comfort.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer carbamazepine to a client who has an NG tube. The provider orders 800 mg each day in two divided doses. Carbamazepine oral suspension is available in 20 mg/mL doses. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero when applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 20
Rationale:
To calculate the amount of carbamazepine oral suspension needed for each dose divide the total daily dose by the concentration of the suspension and then by the number of doses per day. 800 mg / 20 mg/mL / 2 = 20 mL. The nurse should administer 20 mL of carbamazepine oral suspension with each dose.
Question 3 of 5
A parish nurse is developing a program of educational sessions to meet the needs of the older adults in the congregation. Which of the following is the best approach to enhance development of suitable programs?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Surveying the target population helps identify specific interests and health concerns ensuring that the programs are tailored to the needs of older adults. Determining the availability of health care providers is important but may not directly address the specific interests or concerns of the older adults. Basing the programs on their developmental stage is important but surveying the population allows for a more comprehensive understanding of their diverse needs and preferences. Reviewing Healthy People 2020 Objectives is a valuable resource but may not capture the specific interests or concerns of the local population.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is preparing to administer medication to a client for the first time. Which of the following client identifiers are appropriate for the nurse to use before administering the medication? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: Date of birth is a commonly used identifier to confirm the client's identity. Diagnosis is not an appropriate identifier for confirming a client's identity. Identification number is a unique identifier assigned to each client helping ensure accurate identification. Name is a fundamental identifier and should be used in combination with other identifiers to verify the client's identity. Room number is not an appropriate identifier for confirming a client's identity.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to self-administer daily low-dose heparin injections. Which of the following factors is most likely to increase the client's motivation to learn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client's belief that his needs will be met through education reflects intrinsic motivation which is likely to enhance the client's commitment to learning and self-care. Seeking family approval may be a motivator but it is an external factor and intrinsic motivation is generally more effective for sustained behavior change. While the nurse explaining the need for education is important the client's personal belief and understanding of the value of education are key for motivation. The nurse's empathy is essential for building rapport but the client's belief in the benefits of education is more directly related to motivation.
