Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse recognizes that the application of heat therapy is appropriate for which client? The client who:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Heat therapy relaxes muscles and reduces pain in calf spasms by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery promoting healing. It is contraindicated for bleeding (increases blood flow) impaired sensation (risks burns) and active inflammation (worsens swelling and infection risk).

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is administering an intramuscular injection to a 9 month old infant. What is the preferred injection site?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The vastus lateralis is the preferred IM site in infants due to its large muscle mass and low risk of nerve injury making it safe for injections. Gluteal maximus and ventral gluteal risk sciatic nerve damage and deltoid is underdeveloped in infants.

Question 3 of 5

The client asks the nursing student to crush her medications and put them in apple sauce. Even before the student researches the medications he knows that the tablet he cannot deliver in this manner is:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Diltiazem SR (sustained release) cannot be crushed as it alters the drug’s controlled release mechanism potentially causing rapid release and toxicity. Loperamide acetaminophen and methyldopa can typically be crushed or have liquid forms available ensuring safe administration.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse has applied a topical agent to the client's skin and then applies an ice pack to the area. This is done to:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: An ice pack slows topical drug absorption by causing vasoconstriction which reduces blood flow to the area allowing prolonged local action of the medication. It is not primarily used for comfort as cooling may not always reduce discomfort. Drug excretion is not affected by topical ice and maximizing distribution would require increased blood flow not reduction.

Rationale: The appendix is located in the right lower quadrant (RLQ) of the abdomen making RLQ the correct abbreviation. The right upper quadrant (RUQ) contains the liver and gallbladder the left upper quadrant (LUQ) includes the stomach and spleen and the left lower quadrant (LLQ) houses parts of the colon none of which are the appendix’s location.
