Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is monitoring fetal heart rate (FHR) on a laboring client. Which finding should be reported to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: FHR of 170 bpm for over 10 minutes indicates tachycardia, requiring immediate reporting. Other findings are within normal or less urgent ranges.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client with hypertension about items that contain sodium and reviews a written list of items sent from the cardiac rehabilitation department. The nurse tells the client that which item is lowest in sodium content?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Water that is bottled, distilled, deionized, or demineralized may be used for drinking and cooking. Clients are advised to read labels for sodium content. Sodium intake can be increased with the use of several types of products, including toothpaste and mouthwashes; over-the-counter medications such as analgesics, antacids, cough remedies, laxatives, and sedatives; and softened water, as well as some mineral waters.
Question 3 of 5
A client has received a prescription for lisinopril. The nurse teaches the client that which frequent side effect may occur?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cough is a frequent side effect of therapy with any of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Fever is an occasional side effect. Proteinuria is another common side effect, but polyuria is not. Hypertension is the reason to administer the medication rather than a side effect.
Question 4 of 5
A child with a diagnosis of umbilical hernia has been scheduled for surgical repair in 2 weeks. The clinic nurse instructs the parents about the signs of possible hernia strangulation. The nurse tells the parents that which sign requires primary health care provider notification?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The parents of a child with an umbilical hernia need to be instructed regarding the signs/symptoms of strangulation, which include vomiting, pain, and an irreducible mass at the umbilicus. Fever, diarrhea, and constipation are not signs of hernia strangulation. The parents should be instructed to contact the primary health care provider immediately if strangulation is suspected.
