Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is triaging several patients in an urgent care center. One patient states that he has hemophilia and is bleeding, with no apparent signs of bleeding. Which priority action by the nurse is most appropriate at this time?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hemophilia patients are at risk for internal bleeding, which may not be visible. Immediate placement in an exam room and physician notification ensure rapid assessment to prevent complications.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has anemia due to excess blood loss during surgery. The nurse should expect which of the following findings?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Anemia from blood loss reduces oxygen-carrying capacity, causing dyspnea on exertion due to tissue hypoxia. Abdominal pain, respiratory depression, and bradycardia are not typical findings.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient with a clotting disorder. Which should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) contains clotting factors and is used for clotting disorders to manage bleeding. Cryoprecipitates are for specific factor deficiencies, PRBCs for anemia, and platelets for thrombocytopenia.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing laboratory findings for a client admitted with multiple myeloma. The nurse should expect to see an increase in which of the following laboratory tests?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Multiple myeloma causes bone breakdown, releasing calcium into the bloodstream, leading to hypercalcemia. WBCs, neutrophils, and platelets are typically decreased due to bone marrow involvement.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who must undergo a splenectomy for treatment for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Which of the following statements best describes the rationale for the splenectomy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In ITP, the spleen destroys platelets, leading to thrombocytopenia. Splenectomy reduces this destruction, increasing platelet counts. The spleen does not produce platelets or cause infections due to WBC loss in this context.
