Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse caring for a client reviews the medical record and determines the client is at risk for developing a potassium deficit because of which situation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nasogastric suction removes gastric secretions that contain potassium, leading to a loss of potassium from the body, which can cause hypokalemia. Addison's disease and tissue damage cause hyperkalemia, and uric acid levels are unrelated to potassium.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ice packs reduce swelling post-arthroplasty. Dependent positioning increases swelling, CPM aids recovery, and bed rest risks complications.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to ensure proper use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Inhaling quickly while pressing the canister ensures medication delivery. Holding breath for 10 seconds, rinsing first, or shaking for 10 seconds are incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about decreasing the risk of osteoporosis to a client who is postmenopausal. Which of the following instructions should the护士 include?
