Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased urinary output indicates furosemide is reducing fluid retention in heart failure. Decreased BUN may suggest overhydration, decreased hemoglobin indicates anemia, and weight gain suggests fluid overload.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chest pain, often burning, is typical in GERD due to acid reflux. Fever, weight gain, or diarrhea are not characteristic.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Orthopnea, difficulty breathing when lying flat, is typical in heart failure due to fluid overload. Tachycardia, weight gain, and productive cough are more common.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a suspected myocardial infarction. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chest pain, often radiating, is a hallmark of myocardial infarction due to cardiac ischemia. Fever is not typical, tachycardia is more common, and edema is associated with heart failure.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Applying a cold pack reduces swelling and pain post-knee arthroplasty. Dependent positioning increases edema, weight-bearing is per protocol, and stool softeners are secondary.
