Question 1 of 5
What is the purpose of administering diphenhydramine before a blood transfusion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D:
To prevent urticaria. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that helps prevent allergic reactions, such as hives (urticaria), during blood transfusions. It does not expand blood volume (
A), enhance clotting factors (
B), or avoid fever and chills (
C) specifically related to blood transfusions. By blocking histamine release, diphenhydramine helps mitigate the risk of allergic reactions, making it the appropriate choice for pre-treatment before a blood transfusion.
Question 2 of 5
A doctor ordered amoxicillin 2 gm/day PO divided into two doses. The nurse is preparing to administer the first dose. The amount available is tablets. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The correct answer is 2 tablets. Since the doctor ordered 2 gm/day divided into two doses, each dose would be 1 gm. Considering each tablet is 500 mg, 2 tablets would equal 1 gm, fulfilling the doctor's prescription accurately. Other choices are incorrect as they do not match the required dosage of 2 gm/day.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who has experienced anaphylactic shock. Which manifestations are associated with this condition? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,D,F
Rationale: The correct manifestations associated with anaphylactic shock are chest pain, dyspnea, angioedema, and urticaria. Chest pain can result from decreased oxygen delivery to the heart due to decreased blood flow. Dyspnea is caused by bronchoconstriction and swelling of the airways. Angioedema is the swelling of deeper layers of the skin, often around the eyes or lips. Urticaria is the appearance of hives or raised, red, itchy welts on the skin. Increased awareness and hypertension are not typically associated with anaphylactic shock.
Therefore, choices A and E are incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about the seven warning signs of cancer. Which of the following signs should the nurse include as manifestations of cancer? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D
Rationale: The correct signs of cancer are A, B, C, and D. A nagging cough can indicate lung or throat cancer. A non-healing sore may be a sign of skin cancer. Changes in moles can signal skin cancer. Changes in bowel pattern can be indicative of colorectal cancer. These signs are commonly associated with various types of cancer and should not be ignored.
Choices E, F, and G are incorrect as bloating alone is not a specific warning sign of cancer.
