Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the care plan of a client who is postoperative and has an increased risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
Rationale: A. Assist with ordered exercise as needed: Mobility and exercises such as ankle pumps help promote circulation and prevent venous stasis, reducing the risk of DVT. B. Encourage fluids: Encouraging fluids helps prevent dehydration, which reduces blood viscosity and lowers the risk of clot formation. C. Measure affected limb circumference: Measuring limb circumference is important for detecting early signs of DVT, such as swelling in the affected limb. E. Apply compression stockings: Compression stockings promote venous return and reduce the risk of blood pooling in the lower extremities, thus preventing DVT.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching regarding diet to a client who has had a myocardial infarction. Which of the following diet choices by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Baked turkey and salad: This is a healthy choice, as baked turkey is low in fat, and a salad provides nutrients without excessive fat or cholesterol, supporting heart health.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water IV to infuse at 100 mL/60 min. The drop factor on the manual IV tubing is 60 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the IV flow rate to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: 100 gtt/min
Rationale: Flow rate (gtt/min) = (Volume × Drop factor) / 60 = (100 × 60) / 60 = 100 gtt/min.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the admission of a 9-year-old child who has acute rheumatic fever. When obtaining the client's history, it is appropriate for the nurse to ask the parent which of the following questions?
Correct Answer: B
