Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse implement when caring for the client with a nephrostomy tube?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Assessing for kinks ensures patency of the nephrostomy tube, preventing urine backup and complications. Dressings are changed regularly, Betadine is not used for tubing, and bleach cleaning is inappropriate.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is providing discharge teaching to the client diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. Which statement made by the client indicates the teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Polycystic kidney disease causes enlarged, cystic kidneys prone to rupture. Avoiding trauma (e.g., contact sports) is critical. BP meds are necessary, hematuria is not expected, and burning suggests UTI.
Question 3 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse implement for the client who has had an ileal conduit?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Monitoring the stoma for infection (e.g., redness, discharge) prevents complications. Pouching requires a precise fit, not a 1-inch margin; ostomy referrals are secondary; and decreased output is monitored but not always reported immediately.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing a teaching care plan for the client diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Which intervention should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diuretics are commonly prescribed in nephrotic syndrome to manage edema. Teaching proper diuretic use (e.g., timing, side effects like hypokalemia) is essential. Stopping steroids for moon face is incorrect, increasing sodium worsens edema, and weight loss is expected, not a concern.
Question 5 of 5
On the basis of the nurse's knowledge of patient rights, which Federal law has the PCT violated?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The PCT violated HIPAA by discussing the client's condition loudly in a public area, compromising patient confidentiality.
