Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing care for a client who is scheduled for a total laryngectomy. Which of the following is the nurse's priority intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Showing the client how to use an artificial larynx is an important aspect of post-laryngectomy care but determining the client's reading ability takes precedence as it will significantly impact communication options. Arranging a support session is important for emotional support but assessing the client's reading ability is more immediate in addressing communication needs. Demonstrating the use of esophageal speech is relevant but understanding the client's reading ability is a priority before exploring communication alternatives.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is performing postural drainage for a client. Which of the following is an appropriate intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Positioning the client for secretion drainage by gravity is a key component of postural drainage to facilitate the removal of respiratory secretions. Postural drainage is typically done before meals to avoid potential nausea during the procedure. Bronchodilators are often administered before postural drainage to open the airways and improve the effectiveness of the procedure. Encouraging fluid intake is important to help thin respiratory secretions and promote their removal during postural drainage. Fluid restrictions are not typically indicated in this context.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is initiating seizure precautions for a client who has a seizure disorder. Which of the following equipment should the nurse make sure is readily available at the client's bedside?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Vest restraints are not appropriate for seizure precautions. Restraints are generally not recommended as the primary intervention for seizure management. The use of tongue blades during a seizure is not recommended and could pose a risk of injury. Oxygen setup is crucial for managing a client during and after a seizure to ensure proper oxygenation. Neck brace is not necessary for seizure precautions and may pose a risk during a seizure episode.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client's incision and observes the drainage to be blood-tinged. The nurse should document this finding as which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Purulent drainage is characterized by the presence of pus indicating infection. Blood-tinged drainage does not necessarily indicate infection. Serous drainage is a clear watery fluid. Blood-tinged drainage has a reddish tinge and is not clear and watery. Sanguineous drainage is characterized by the presence of blood which may be bright red or old and brownish. Blood-tinged drainage falls under the sanguineous category.
