Extract:
Question 1 of 5
When the nurse examines the voided urine specimen, which finding is most supportive of the diagnosis of urolithiasis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Blood-tinged urine (hematuria) is a hallmark of urolithiasis due to irritation or injury from kidney stones.
Question 2 of 5
The client who has undergone an exploratory laparotomy and subsequent removal of a large intestinal tumor has a nasogastric tube (NGT) in place and an IV running at 150 mL/hr via an IV pump. Which data should be reported to the HCP?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Crackles and rhonchi suggest pulmonary edema, a critical complication possibly due to fluid overload, requiring immediate HCP notification. Pump alarms, intake/output, and edema status are less urgent unless associated with other critical findings.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
The nurse and a licensed practical nurse (LPN) are caring for a group of clients. Which intervention should be assigned to the LPN?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Caring for a client going for an MRI involves routine tasks (e.g., transport, preparation) within an LPN’s scope. Assessment, monitoring high WBC, and administering chemotherapy require RN judgment.
Question 5 of 5
When the nurse reviews the results of the client's urinalysis, which substance in the urine is most suggestive of a bladder infection?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Blood in the urine (hematuria) is a common sign of a bladder infection due to inflammation and irritation of the bladder lining.
