Extract:
Question 1 of 5
What is the primary reason for administering a laxative before the procedure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Emptying the bowel before intravenous pyelography (IVP) enhances visualization of the urinary structures by reducing interference from fecal matter.
Question 2 of 5
Which response by the nurse is best?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Restricting fluid intake can lead to dehydration and fluid imbalance, which can worsen health outcomes, so the nurse should discourage this action.
Question 3 of 5
When the nurse is advising the client about the potential complications associated with peritoneal dialysis, which complication is most important to include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Abdominal peritonitis is a significant and common complication of peritoneal dialysis due to the risk of infection.
Question 4 of 5
While the fluid is being administered, which nursing assessment is most important?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Auscultating breath sounds is critical during a fluid challenge to detect signs of fluid overload, such as pulmonary edema.
Question 5 of 5
Which outcome should the nurse identify for the client diagnosed with fluid volume excess?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: No adventitious breath sounds (e.g., crackles) indicates resolution of pulmonary edema from fluid volume excess. Adequate urine output and elastic skin turgor are normal but not specific, and creatinine reflects renal function, not fluid status.
