Question 3 of 5

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is performing CPR on an adult who went into cardiopulmonary arrest. Another nurse enters the room in response to the call. After checking the client's pulse and respirations, what should be the function of the second nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Participate with the compressions or breathing. Once CPR is started, it is to be continued using the approved technique until such time as a provider pronounces the client dead or the client becomes stable. American Heart Association studies have shown that the 2 person technique is most effective in sustaining the client. It is not appropriate to relieve the first nurse to leave the room for equipment. The client's advanced directives should have been filed on admission and his choices known prior to the initiation of CPR.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing several clients in a long term health care facility. Which client is at highest risk for development of decubitus ulcers?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 79 year-old malnourished client on bed rest. Weighing significantly less than ideal body weight increases the number and surface area of bony prominences which are susceptible to pressure ulcers. Thus, malnutrition is a major risk factor for decubiti, due in part to poor hydration and inadequate protein intake.
