ATI RN Leadership 2019 Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
A charge nurse is making room for new admissions following a community disaster. Clients include: a client who has a deep-vein thrombosis and an INR of 2.0, a client who is receiving chemotherapy and has tumor lysis syndrome, a client who has a new onset of left-sided weakness, a client who has angina and a troponin level of 3 ng/mL.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following clients should the nurse recommend for discharge?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. A client with a deep-vein thrombosis and an INR of 2.0 can be recommended for discharge because an INR of 2.0 indicates that the client's blood is within the therapeutic range when on anticoagulant therapy for DVT. The recommendation for discharge is appropriate since the client's condition is stable and the INR level is optimal for preventing further clot formation without increasing the risk of bleeding.
Choice B is incorrect because a client receiving chemotherapy and having tumor lysis syndrome requires close monitoring and management of electrolyte imbalances and potential complications, making discharge inappropriate at this time.
Choice C is incorrect because a client with a new onset of left-sided weakness may be indicative of a stroke or other serious neurological condition that requires further evaluation and treatment, not discharge.
Choice D is incorrect because a troponin level of 3 ng/mL in a client with angina suggests cardiac muscle damage and potential risk for a heart attack,
