Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation and has a prescription for a nonstress test. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pressing a button when the baby moves during a nonstress test records fetal movements, helping assess fetal well-being by correlating movement with heart rate accelerations. Drinking water, a 2-hour duration, or an empty bladder are not standard requirements.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting in the care of a client who is to receive a transfusion of packed RBCs. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Checking the client's blood type and crossmatch in the medical record ensures compatibility, preventing transfusion reactions. Blood should not be kept at room temperature, dextrose causes hemolysis, and vital signs are checked before, at 15 minutes, and after, not hourly.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for digoxin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting a heart rate less than 60/min is critical, as digoxin can cause bradycardia, indicating toxicity. High-fiber foods are not contraindicated, antacids may reduce absorption, and digoxin does not significantly increase urine production.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a left-sided pneumothorax and a chest tube in place with a closed drainage system. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Continuous bubbling in the water seal chamber indicates an air leak, requiring immediate provider notification. Tidaling is normal, 100 mL output is expected, and absent left-sided breath sounds are consistent with pneumothorax.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is in labor. The client's labor is not progressing, and oxytocin is prescribed. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Continuous fetal heart rate monitoring is essential when administering oxytocin to detect fetal distress from hyperstimulation. Oxygen, amnioinfusion, or semi-Fowler's position are not routinely indicated without specific complications.
