Question 3 of 5
A nurse is administering furosemide IV bolus to a client who has fluid volume excess. The nurse should recognize which of the following findings as an indication that the medication has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Weight Loss. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that helps the body excrete excess fluid and sodium through increased urine output.
Therefore, weight loss would indicate that the medication has been effective in reducing the client's fluid volume excess. Increased blood pressure (
A) would not be an expected finding as furosemide typically helps lower blood pressure. Decreased inflammation (
C) and decreased pain (
D) are not directly related to the action of furosemide as a diuretic.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 2-year-old toddler. Which of the following food choices should the nurse recommend to promote independence in eating?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Banana slices.
Toddlers at the age of 2 are developing their fine motor skills and independence. Banana slices are easy for toddlers to pick up and eat independently, promoting their self-feeding skills. Grapes pose a choking hazard due to their size and shape. Hot dogs are also a choking hazard as they can easily get stuck in a toddler's throat. Popcorn is a common choking hazard for young children due to its hard texture.
Therefore, recommending banana slices will not only promote independence in eating but also ensure safety for the toddler.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has gastroenteritis. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sunken fontanels and dry mucous membranes. These findings indicate severe dehydration in the infant, which is a critical condition that requires immediate intervention. Sunken fontanels suggest significant fluid loss, while dry mucous membranes are indicative of dehydration. Reporting these findings to the provider is crucial for prompt treatment to prevent further complications.
Incorrect Answer A: Pale and a 24 hr fluid deficit of 30 ml. Pale skin alone may not indicate severe dehydration, and a 24-hour fluid deficit of 30 ml is relatively small and not alarming.
Incorrect Answer C: Decreased appetite and irritability. These are common symptoms of gastroenteritis and may not necessarily indicate a need for immediate reporting to the provider.
Incorrect Answer D: Temperature 38° C and pulse rate 124/min. These vital signs are elevated but do not directly indicate severe dehydration requiring immediate reporting.
