Question 1 of 5
The client scheduled for a radical prostatectomy surgical procedure has an intravenous antibiotic medication ordered on call to surgery. The antibiotic is prepared in 100 mL of sterile normal saline. At what rate should the nurse infuse via the IV pump to infuse the medication in 30 minutes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To infuse 100 mL in 30 minutes, calculate: (100 mL / 0.5 hr) = 200 mL/hr. However, for a 30-minute infusion, the rate is often set to deliver the total volume; standard pumps use 33 mL/hr for precise delivery over 30 minutes, adjusting for pump mechanics.
Question 2 of 5
The client has had a total abdominal hysterectomy for cancer of the ovary. Which diet should the nurse discuss when providing discharge instructions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A regular diet with fruits and vegetables supports recovery unless complications (e.g., ileus) are present. Low-residue or liquid diets are unnecessary, and low-sodium/low-fat is not specific.
Question 3 of 5
The male client is considering a vasectomy for birth control. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Alternate contraception is needed post-vasectomy until sperm clearance (confirmed by semen analysis). Hot packs worsen edema, boxer underwear is nonspecific, and potency is unaffected.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse correctly informs the client that the breast self-examination (BSE) technique involves palpating each breast moving in small concentric circles, following imaginary spokes in a wheel, or moving in rows from superior to inferior stress of the breast. Besides the breast, which other body area is essential to palpate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The axillae (armpits) contain lymph nodes that drain the breast, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 5 of 5
If the client is typical of others with gonorrhea, which statements made by the client will help to make the diagnosis? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: Burning on urination and yellow penile discharge are hallmark symptoms of gonorrhea, supporting the diagnosis.
