Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is an indication for electroencephalography?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'seizure disorder.' Electroencephalography is used to assess clients with seizure disorders by recording the brain's electrical activity. Seizure disorder is a primary indication for an EEG as it helps in diagnosing and managing seizure activity. Paralysis (choice
A) is not typically an indication for an EEG as it relates to loss of muscle function rather than brain activity. Neuropathy (choice
B) involves nerve damage and is not directly assessed by an EEG. Myocardial infarction (choice
D) is related to heart issues and is not a condition that an EEG is used to diagnose.
Question 2 of 5
While undergoing fetal heart monitoring, a pregnant Native-American woman requests that a medicine woman be present in the examination room. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct response is to show cultural awareness and respect the client's request by offering assistance in arranging for the medicine woman to be present. This approach acknowledges the importance of cultural beliefs and practices in the client's care, fostering trust and cooperation.
Choices B, C, and D are inappropriate as they dismiss or belittle the client's cultural beliefs, showing insensitivity and lack of respect, which can negatively impact the nurse-client relationship.
Question 3 of 5
For a client requiring total oral care, it is important for the nurse to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To provide total oral care to a client, the nurse should first assemble all necessary equipment. Placing the client in a side-lying position helps fluids to easily flow out or pool in the side of the mouth for suctioning, thus preventing aspiration. Additionally, placing a towel under the client's chin and a curved basin against the chin helps to maintain cleanliness during the procedure.
Choice A is incorrect because the client should be placed in a side-lying position, not a semi-Fowler's position which is used for respiratory issues.
Choice B is incorrect as it does not emphasize the importance of proper positioning for effective oral care.
Choice D is incorrect as it oversimplifies the procedure by focusing only on cleaning the mouth without considering the importance of positioning and preparation.
Question 4 of 5
How does cancer affect pain tolerance in elderly clients?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pain tolerance in elderly clients with cancer is likely to decrease due to factors such as diminished adaptative capacity, increased physical discomfort, and the psychological impact of the disease. Cancer is known to cause various physical and emotional stressors that can lower the pain threshold, leading to a decrease in pain tolerance.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because cancer and its associated effects typically result in a decrease in pain tolerance rather than remaining constant, increasing, or having no impact.
Question 5 of 5
When a client needs oxygen therapy, what is the highest flow rate that oxygen can be delivered via nasal cannula?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 6 liters/minute. When a client needs oxygen therapy, the highest flow rate that oxygen can be delivered via nasal cannula is 6 liters/minute. Higher flow rates must be delivered by a mask.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest flow rates that exceed what can be effectively delivered through a nasal cannula.
