Extract:
Question 1 of 5
When the client asks the nurse to clarify the surgeon's explanation of the procedure, which statement is most accurate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An ileal conduit diverts urine to an abdominal stoma, where it drains externally.
Question 2 of 5
The telemetry monitor technician notifies the nurse of the morning telemetry readings. Which client should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Peaked T waves indicate hyperkalemia, which can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias, requiring immediate assessment. Atrial fibrillation, PVCs, and first-degree AV block are less urgent unless unstable.
Question 3 of 5
Which nursing intervention is most important before attempting to catheterize a client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Verifying latex allergy prevents allergic reactions during catheterization, as many catheters are latex-based. Catheter history, anxiety, and sensation/voiding ability are important but secondary to safety.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with ARF. Which laboratory values are most significant for diagnosing ARF?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels indicate impaired kidney function, making them the primary markers for diagnosing ARF. Other labs like WBC, electrolytes, or liver function tests are less specific for ARF diagnosis.
Question 5 of 5
Postoperatively, which assessment finding is most suggestive that the client is hemorrhaging?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Abdominal distention may indicate internal bleeding, a critical sign of hemorrhage post-nephrectomy.
