Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client about fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) for the screening of colorectal cancer. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Avoiding corticosteroids prevents false-positive FOBT results due to their potential to cause gastrointestinal bleeding.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is providing instructions to a newly licensed nurse about NG intubation for a client who is postoperative following a colectomy. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: An NG tube post-colectomy decompresses the stomach, reducing pressure and preventing vomiting to aid gastrointestinal healing.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is using a ventilator when the low-pressure ventilator alarm sounds. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A low-pressure alarm typically indicates a disconnection or leak, so checking tubing connections is the first step to ensure proper ventilation.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has acute leukemia and received chemotherapy 12 hours ago. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A,B,E

Rationale: Using an electric shaver reduces the risk of bleeding due to low platelet counts post-chemotherapy. Avoiding crowds minimizes infection risk in immunocompromised patients. Monitoring for bruising helps detect bleeding complications early. Taking temperature weekly is insufficient, and a low-residue diet is not typically necessary.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative immediately following a pheochromocytoma removal. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Monitoring blood pressure is critical post-pheochromocytoma removal due to potential hemodynamic instability from catecholamine fluctuations.
