Question 2 of 5
The client is experiencing symptoms of itching and anxiety, and presents with a flushed face and hives. Complete the following sentence: 'The client's condition is indicative of _.'.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: An allergic reaction. The symptoms described - itching, anxiety, flushed face, and hives - are classic signs of an allergic reaction. Itching and hives suggest a skin reaction, while anxiety can be a psychological response to the physical symptoms. Flushed face may indicate a systemic response. The presence of these symptoms together points towards an immune response triggered by an allergen.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the symptoms presented.
Choice B mentions side effects of a procedure, which would not typically cause these specific symptoms.
Choice C, anxiety disorder, does not explain the physical symptoms like itching and hives.
Choice D, hypersensitivity to IV gauge material, could be a potential cause, but the broader symptoms described are more indicative of an allergic reaction.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who is postoperative following a knee arthroplasty and requires the use of thigh-length sequential compression sleeves. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct answer: C. Make sure two fingers can fit under the sleeves.
Rationale: Ensuring two fingers can fit under the sleeves helps prevent restricting circulation and ensures proper fit for effective compression therapy. This allows for adequate circulation while providing the necessary compression to prevent blood clots postoperatively.
Summary of other choices:
A: Assisting the patient into a prone position is not necessary for applying thigh-length compression sleeves.
B: Placing the sleeve with the opening facing up is incorrect as it may hinder the proper functioning of the sequential compression device.
D: Setting ankle pressure at 65 mm Hg is incorrect as the focus should be on ensuring proper fit rather than specific pressure settings.
