Question 1 of 5
An emergency department client is diagnosed with a hip dislocation. The client's family is relieved that the client has not suffered a hip fracture, but the nurse explains that this is still considered to be a medical emergency. What is the rationale for the nurse's statement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prolonged dislocation complicates reduction due to muscle spasms and tissue changes, making prompt intervention critical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is to administer a 500ml bolus of normal saline to a patient over 1 hour?
Correct Answer: 500 mL/hr
Rationale: 500 mL ÷ 1 hour = 500 mL/hr, the rate for the bolus.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a pulmonary embolism and has a new prescription for enoxaparin 1.5-2.5mg/kg subcutaneous. The client weighs 245 lbs. How many mg should the nurse administer for the low range of the dosage range?(Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: 165 mg
Rationale: 245 lb × 0.45 ≈ 110.25 kg; 110.25 kg × 1.5 mg/kg = 165.375 mg, rounded to 165 mg.
