Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer azithromycin to a client who is at 16 weeks of gestation and has a positive chlamydia culture. The prescription states "Administer azithromycin 1 g orally now." Available are 250 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 4 tablets. Azithromycin 1g is equivalent to 1000mg. Since each tablet is 250mg, the nurse should administer 1000mg/250mg = 4 tablets. This dosage is appropriate for treating chlamydia infection.
Choice A is incorrect because 8 tablets would be equivalent to 2000mg, which is double the prescribed dosage.
Choice B is incorrect as 6 tablets would be 1500mg, which is higher than the prescribed dosage.
Choice D is incorrect as 2 tablets would only be 500mg, which is lower than the prescribed dosage.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and reports increasing rectal pressure. They are experiencing contractions 2 to 3 min apart, each lasting 80 to 90 seconds, and a vaginal examination reveals that their cervix is dilated to 9 cm. The nurse should identify that the client is in which of the following phases of labor?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Active phase. At 9 cm dilation, the client is in the active phase of the first stage of labor. This phase is characterized by more rapid cervical dilation (6-10 cm) and increased contractions with shorter intervals. The client's symptoms align with this phase as they are experiencing strong contractions close together, along with increased rectal pressure indicating descent of the fetus. Other choices are incorrect as: A (Passive descent) occurs during the second stage of labor; C (Early phase) is typically before 6 cm dilation; D (Descent) is not a recognized phase of labor.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a newborn following a circumcision. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the newborn is experiencing pain?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Chin quivering. Pain assessment in newborns can be challenging due to their limited ability to communicate. Chin quivering is a nonverbal sign of pain in newborns. It indicates stress and discomfort. Decreased heart rate, pinpoint pupils, and slowed respirations are not reliable indicators of pain in newborns and may be attributed to other factors.
Therefore, the nurse should identify chin quivering as a significant sign of pain in this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who is receiving heparin via a continuous IV infusion for thrombophlebitis in their left calf. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Maintain the client on bed rest. In a client receiving heparin for thrombophlebitis, bed rest is essential to prevent dislodgment of the clot and avoid further complications. Moving around can increase the risk of embolism. Administering aspirin (choice
A) is not recommended as it can increase the risk of bleeding with heparin. Massaging the affected leg (choice
C) can dislodge the clot leading to embolism. Applying cold compresses (choice
D) can also increase the risk of dislodging the clot. The key is to promote circulation without dislodging the clot, which is achieved by keeping the client on bed rest.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following conditions should the nurse identify as being consistent with the adolescent's assessment findings? For each finding click to specify if the assessment findings are consistent with trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, or candidiasis. Each finding may support more than one disease process.

|---|---|---|---|
| Abdominal pain. | |||
| Greenish discharge. | |||
| Diabetes. | |||
| Pain on urination. | |||
| Absence of condom. |
Correct Answer: B, D
Rationale:
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify which assessment findings are consistent with trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, or candidiasis.
B: Greenish discharge is consistent with both trichomoniasis and gonorrhea due to their characteristic discharge color.
D: Pain on urination is a common symptom of gonorrhea, making it consistent with this condition.
Therefore, the correct answer is , as Greenish discharge and Pain on urination are consistent with gonorrhea. Abdominal pain and Diabetes are not specific to any of the mentioned conditions.
