Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who just returned from a cardiac catheterization. Which of the following nursing interventions should the nurse include in the client's plan of care? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: Post-cardiac catheterization care includes bed rest for 4-6 hours to prevent bleeding, checking peripheral pulses to monitor circulation, keeping the hip and leg extended to avoid strain on the insertion site, and frequent vital sign monitoring to detect complications. High-Fowler's position is not typically recommended as it may stress the insertion site.

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching the parents of a child who is to start using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) to treat asthma. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B

Extract:

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using an electric razor minimizes bleeding risk, crucial for patients on warfarin. Doubling a missed dose increases bleeding risk, fiber intake is not specifically needed for warfarin-related constipation, and nosebleeds should be reported, not dismissed as common.

Rationale: Applying medication, minimizing nose blowing, using ear plugs, and reporting purulent drainage indicate effective teaching. Lifting a sibling risks tube displacement and is inappropriate.
Extract:
A nurse is providing care to a school-aged child who has uncontrolled asthma. The child's parent does not seem engaged in the child's treatment during the hospitalization and states that the child manages their care with little assistance from them.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a school-aged child who has uncontrolled asthma. The child's parent does not seem engaged in the child's treatment during the hospitalization and states that the child manages their care with little assistance from them. Which of the following nursing interventions is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Educating the parent comprehensively empowers them to engage in asthma management, addressing their lack of involvement constructively. Contacting child protective services is premature, a schedule alone doesn't engage the parent, and reviewing the plan with only the child and school nurse excludes the parent.
