Question 1 of 5
What is the correct term for blood flow through the lung?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct term for blood flow through the lung is "Perfusion" (
Choice
D). Perfusion refers to the process of blood flow through the tissues, in this case, the lung tissue. Blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs to receive oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This process is essential for gas exchange. Respiration (
Choice
A) refers to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs, not specifically the blood flow. Inspiration (
Choice
B) and Expiration (
Choice
C) relate to the act of breathing, not blood flow. The other choices are left empty.
Question 2 of 5
An adult patient presents to the emergency department with complaints of shortness of breath and increased work of breathing. The physician orders an albuterol nebulizer. What assessments should the nurse plan to complete after administering the albuterol? (Select All that Apply.)
Correct Answer: A,C,E
Rationale: The correct assessments to complete after administering albuterol nebulizer are respiratory rate, pulse oximetry, and lung sounds.
1. Respiratory rate: Albuterol can impact the respiratory rate, so monitoring it helps assess the patient's response to the medication.
2. Pulse oximetry: Albuterol can improve oxygenation, so monitoring the oxygen saturation levels is crucial to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.
3. Lung sounds: Albuterol helps to open up the airways, so listening to lung sounds can help determine if there is any improvement in air entry and if the medication is working.
Glucose monitoring (choice
B) and capillary refill (choice
D) are not directly related to albuterol administration in this scenario and can be assessed based on the patient's condition.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 250 mg PO. Available is amoxicillin oral suspension 125 mg/5 mL. How many ml. should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 10 mL.
To determine the correct amount, we need to use the formula: (Desired dose / Stock dose) x Volume of stock solution. In this case, (250 mg / 125 mg) x 5 mL = 10 mL. The nurse should administer 10 mL of the amoxicillin oral suspension.
Choice A (10 mL) is correct. Other choices are not applicable as the correct answer has been identified.
Question 4 of 5
A client has prescriptions for albuterol (Proventil HFA) and salmeterol (Serevent). Which instruction should the nurse provide for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Take albuterol first. Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist used for quick relief of asthma symptoms, while salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist for maintenance treatment. Albuterol should be taken first to provide immediate relief of symptoms, followed by salmeterol for long-term control. Taking them together may reduce the effectiveness of both medications. Option B is incorrect because the order of administration does matter in this case. Option C is incorrect as they can be taken together, but albuterol should be taken first. Option D is incorrect as salmeterol should be taken after albuterol.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with asthma. The client asks the nurse what structures make up the upper respiratory tract. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, and paranasal sinuses make up the upper respiratory tract. The nose and nasal cavity filter, warm, and moisten air. The pharynx connects the nasal cavity to the larynx and esophagus. Paranasal sinuses help with resonance and lighten the skull.
Choices A and D are incorrect as they do not include all the structures of the upper respiratory tract.
Choice B is incorrect as it includes the lungs, which are part of the lower respiratory tract.
