Question 1 of 5
When a client needs oxygen therapy, what is the highest flow rate that oxygen can be delivered via nasal cannula?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 6 liters/minute. When a client needs oxygen therapy, the highest flow rate that oxygen can be delivered via nasal cannula is 6 liters/minute. Higher flow rates must be delivered by a mask.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest flow rates that exceed what can be effectively delivered through a nasal cannula.
Question 2 of 5
Where do the vast majority of deaths resulting from unintentional poisoning occur?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is '
Toddlers.'
Toddlers are at the highest risk of unintentional poisoning due to their natural curiosity, explorative behavior, and lack of awareness of potential dangers. Infants are typically closely monitored, teens are more aware of risks, and adults generally have better judgment and understanding of hazardous substances, making them less susceptible to unintentional poisoning.
Therefore, toddlers, being inquisitive and unaware of risks, are the most vulnerable group in terms of unintentional poisoning incidents.
Question 3 of 5
When administering NSAID adjunctive therapy to an elderly client with cancer, the nurse must monitor:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When an elderly client with cancer is receiving NSAID therapy, monitoring BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and creatinine levels is crucial. NSAIDs can cause renal toxicity, especially in the elderly. BUN and creatinine levels help assess renal function and detect early signs of renal impairment. Monitoring creatinine alone (
Choice
B) is not sufficient as BUN provides complementary information about renal function. Monitoring hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (Hct) (
Choice
C) is important for assessing anemia but not specific to NSAID therapy in the elderly. CFT (
Choice
D) is not a standard abbreviation in this context, and monitoring coagulation function is not directly related to NSAID therapy in this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
All of the following are causes of vaginal bleeding in late pregnancy except:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Eclampsia. Eclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, and edema. This condition can cause seizures and/or coma but does not typically present with vaginal bleeding.
Choices A, C, and D are abnormal conditions that can cause bleeding, particularly in the third trimester. Placenta previa (choice
A) is a condition where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, leading to vaginal bleeding. Abruptio placentae (choice
C) is the premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall, causing vaginal bleeding. Uterine rupture (choice
D) is a serious obstetrical emergency where the uterus tears during pregnancy or childbirth, resulting in severe bleeding.
Question 5 of 5
After delivery, a newborn undergoes an Apgar assessment. What does this scoring system evaluate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Apgar scoring system, developed by Virginia Apgar, an anesthesiologist, evaluates newborns based on five criteria: heart rate, respiratory effort, color, muscle tone, and reflex irritability. These parameters provide a quick and simple assessment of a newborn's overall condition and the need for immediate medical attention.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not encompass the essential elements evaluated by the Apgar scoring system.
