Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is in the oliguric phase of an acute kidney injury. Which of the following clinical manifestations would be consistent with the condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pulmonary edema is a common manifestation in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury. This phase is characterized by decreased urine output, leading to fluid overload and subsequent complications such as pulmonary edema, where fluid accumulates in the lungs.
Question 2 of 5
A client prescribed albuterol sulfate by inhalation is unable to cough up secretions. What actions should the nurse teach the client to help clear bronchial secretions effectively?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increasing fluid intake thins bronchial secretions, facilitating their removal, which is a key strategy for respiratory management.
Question 3 of 5
The charge nurse observes a nurse performing interventions for a client who has just arrived in the post-anesthesia care unit following right cataract removal and intraocular lens implantation. Which intervention would require the charge nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Encouraging the client to exercise with 20 lb weights one day post-operatively is inappropriate and requires the charge nurse to intervene. Strenuous activity can increase intraocular pressure and compromise the healing process after cataract surgery. The client should avoid heavy lifting and follow the post-operative care instructions provided by the healthcare team.
Question 4 of 5
A client on the unit is diagnosed with rapid atrial fibrillation. Which medication is the healthcare provider likely to prescribe to correct this rhythm?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, is used to manage rapid atrial fibrillation by slowing heart rate.
Question 5 of 5
A client seen in the clinic with shortness of breath and fatigue is being evaluated for a possible diagnosis of heart failure. Which laboratory result will be the most useful to monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are elevated in heart failure, helping to assess the severity and treatment effectiveness.
