Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The charge nurse is making client assignments in the intensive care unit. Which client should be assigned to the most experienced nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: DKA with PVCs indicates cardiac instability, requiring an experienced nurse for complex monitoring and intervention. High glucose, hypoglycemia, and normal osmolarity are less critical.
Question 2 of 5
After the client returns from surgery and resumes eating, the nurse should encourage the client to eat foods from which food group?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Milk and cheese are rich in calcium, essential for clients post-parathyroidectomy to prevent hypocalcemia.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following provides the best evidence that the dietary measures to control functional hypoglycemia are therapeutic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reduced weakness and tremors indicate stabilized blood glucose levels in functional hypoglycemia.
Question 4 of 5
The client is immediate postprocedure endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP). Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ERCP involves throat anesthesia; assessing the gag reflex ensures safe swallowing post-procedure. Rectal bleeding, fluids, and supine positioning are irrelevant.
Question 5 of 5
The client is being admitted to the outpatient department prior to an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) to rule out cancer of the pancreas. Which preprocedure instruction should the nurse teach?
