Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who is preoperative for a sigmoid colostomy. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A sigmoid colostomy stoma is typically located in the left lower abdomen.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has COPD. The nurse should identify the client is at risk for which of the following acid-base imbalances?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: COPD causes CO2 retention, leading to respiratory acidosis.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 12-month-old infant who is brought to the clinic by the parents for a well-child visit. The nurse reviews the infant's health history and notes that the infant weighed $8 \mathrm{lb}$ at birth. When assessing the infant's weight at this visit,the nurse would anticipate that the infant would weigh approximately how much at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 20 lbs: This is a plausible estimate. By 12 months, an infant's birth weight typically triples.
Therefore, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would approximately translate to $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 32 lbs: This estimate is too high. If an infant's birth weight triples by 12 months, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would not be expected to reach 32 lbs. 24 lbs: An infant's weight usually triples by their first birthday.
Therefore, an infant born weighing $8 \mathrm{lbs}$ would be expected to weigh about $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 16 lbs: This is an underestimate. An $8 \mathrm{lb}$ infant would double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months, and by 12 months, they would typically have tripled their birth weight to around $24 \mathrm{lbs}$.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is conducting an assessment of a client that has been admitted to a medical unit in the hospital for treatment of pneumonia. Which action will the nurse take when conducting the respiratory assessment of this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Document 'impaired oxygenation' on the nursing care plan: While this may be appropriate based on assessment findings, it's premature to document without conducting a thorough assessment first. Auscultate the chest for breath sounds: This is a critical component of assessing respiratory function, especially in a client with pneumonia, to identify abnormal breath sounds such as crackles or diminished breath sounds. Collaborate with the client to form goals: Goal setting typically comes after assessment data is collected and analyzed. Apply supplemental oxygen by face mask as needed: This action should be based on assessment findings indicating the need for oxygen therapy, not assumed without assessment.
Question 5 of 5
Which type of play is most typical of the toddler stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Parallel play: Parallel play is typical of toddlers, where they play alongside each other but do not interact or play directly with each other. This is a key stage in social development where they start to notice peers but prefer independent activities. Cooperative play: Cooperative play involves children playing together with a common goal or activity. This type of play is more typical of older preschoolers and school-age children. Solitary play: Solitary play is common in infants and very young toddlers where they play alone and are not engaged with others. By the toddler stage, children often progress to parallel play. Associative play: Associative play involves children interacting and playing together, but not with a structured goal or organization. This typically develops after parallel play, around the preschool age.
