Bowel sounds occurring every 10 seconds. C. Shifting dullness over the abdomen. D. Vascular sounds heard over the renal arteries. 24 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica Answers and Rationales 1. Answer: (D) The actions of a reasonably prudent nurse with similar education and experience. The standard of care is determined by the average degree of skill, care, and diligence by nurses in similar circumstances. 2. Answer: (B) I.M. With a platelet count of 22,000/ μ l, the clients tends to bleed easily. Therefore, the nurse should avoid using the I.M. route because the area is a highly vascular and can bleed readily when penetrated by a needle. The bleeding can be difficult to stop. 3. Answer: (C) "Digoxin 0.125 mg P.O. once daily" The nurse should always place a zero before a decimal point so that no one misreads the figure, which could result in a dosage error. The nurse should never insert a zero at the end of a dosage that includes a decimal point because this could be misread, possibly leading to a tenfold increase in the dosage. 4. Answer: (A) Ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion related to venous congestion. Ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion related to venous congestion takes the highest priority because venous inflammation and clot formation impede blood flow in a client with deep vein thrombosis. 5. Answer: (B) A 44 year-old myocardial infarction (MI) client who is complaining of nausea. Nausea is a symptom of impending myocardial infarction (MI) and should be assessed immediately so that treatment can be instituted and further damage to the heart is avoided. 6. Answer: (C) Check circulation every 15-30 minutes. Restraints encircle the limbs, which place the client at risk for circulation being restricted to the distal areas of the extremities. Checking the client's circulation every 15-30 minutes will allow the nurse to adjust the restraints before injury from decreased blood flow occurs. 7. Answer: (A) Prevent stress ulcer. Curling's ulcer occurs as a generalized stress response in burn patients. This results in a decreased production of mucus and increased secretion of gastric acid. The best treatment for this prophylactic use of antacids and H2 receptor blockers. 8. Answer: (D) Continue to monitor and record hourly urine output. Normal urine output for an adult is approximately 1 ml/minute (60 ml/hour). Therefore, this client's output is normal. Beyond continued evaluation, no nursing action is warranted. 9. Answer: (A) "My ankle looks less swollen now". Ice application decreases pain and swelling. Continued or increased pain, redness, and increased warmth are signs of inflammation that shouldn't occur after ice application 10. Answer: (C) 11. Answer:(A) Have condescending trust and confidence in their subordinates. Benevolent-authoritative managers pretentiously show their trust and confidence to their followers. 12. Answer: (A) Provides continuous, coordinated and comprehensive nursing services. Functional nursing is focused on tasks and activities and not on the care of the patients. 13. Answer: (B) Standard written order. This is a standard written order. Prescribers write a single order for medications given only once. A stat order is written for medications given immediately for an urgent client problem. A standing order, also known as a protocol, establishes guidelines for treating a particular disease or set of symptoms in special care areas such as the coronary care unit. Facilities also may institute medication protocols that specifically designate drugs that a nurse may not give. 14. Answer: (D) Liquid or semi-liquid stools. Passage of liquid or semi-liquid stools results from seepage of unformed bowel contents around the impacted stool in the rectum. Clients with fecal 25 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica impaction don't pass hard, brown, formed stools because the feces can't move past the impaction. These clients typically report the urge to defecate (although they can't pass stool) and a decreased appetite. 15. Answer: (C) Pulling the helix up and back. To perform an otoscopic examination on an adult, the nurse grasps the helix of the ear and pulls it up and back to straighten the ear canal. For a child, the nurse grasps the helix and pulls it down to straighten the ear canal. Pulling the lobule in any direction wouldn't straighten the ear canal for visualization. 16. Answer: (A) Protect the irritated skin from sunlight. Irradiated skin is very sensitive and must be protected with clothing or sunblock. The priority approach is the avoidance of strong sunlight. 17. Answer: (C) Assist the client in removing dentures and nail polish. Dentures, hairpins, and combs must be removed. Nail polish must be removed so that cyanosis can be easily monitored by observing the nail beds. 18. Answer: (D) Sudden onset of continuous epigastric and back pain. The autodigestion of tissue by the pancreatic enzymes results in pain from inflammation, edema, and possible hemorrhage. Continuous, unrelieved epigastric or back pain reflects the inflammatory process in the pancreas. 19. Answer: (B) Provide high-protein, high-carbohydrate diet. A positive nitrogen balance is important for meeting metabolic needs, tissue repair, and resistance to infection. Caloric goals may be as high as 5000 calories per day. 20. Answer: (A) Blood pressure and pulse rate. The baseline must be established to recognize the signs of an anaphylactic or hemolytic reaction to the transfusion. 21. Answer: (D) Immobilize the leg before moving the client. If the nurse suspects a fracture, splinting the area before moving the client is imperative. The nurse should call for emergency help if the client is not hospitalized and call for a physician for the hospitalized client. 22. Answer: (B) Admit the client into a private room. The client who has a radiation implant is placed in a private room and has a limited number of visitors. This reduces the exposure of others to the radiation. 23. Answer: (C) Risk for infection. Agranulocytosis is characterized by a reduced number of leukocytes (leucopenia) and neutrophils (neutropenia) in the blood. The client is at high risk for infection because of the decreased body defenses against microorganisms. Deficient knowledge related to the nature of the disorder may be appropriate diagnosis but is not the priority. 24. Answer: (B) Place the client on the left side in the Trendelenburg position. Lying on the left side may prevent air from flowing into the pulmonary veins. The Trendelenburg position increases intrathoracic pressure, which decreases the amount of blood pulled into the vena cava during aspiration. 25. Answer: (A) Autocratic. The autocratic style of leadership is a task-oriented and directive. 26. Answer: (D) 2.5 cc. 2.5 cc is to be added, because only a 500 cc bag of solution is being medicated instead of a 1 liter. 27. Answer: (A) 50 cc/ hour. A rate of 50 cc/hr. The child is to receive 400 cc over a period of 8 hours = 50 cc/hr. 28. Answer: (B) Assess the client for presence of pain. Assessing the client for pain is a very important measure. Postoperative pain is an indication of complication. The nurse should also assess the client for pain to provide for the client's comfort. 26 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica 29. Answer: (A) BP - 80/60, Pulse - 110 irregular. The classic signs of cardiogenic shock are low blood pressure, rapid and weak irregular pulse, cold, clammy skin, decreased urinary output, and cerebral hypoxia. 30. Answer: (A) Take the proper equipment, place the client in a comfortable position, and record the appropriate information in the client's chart. It is a general or comprehensive statement about the correct procedure, and it includes the basic ideas which are found in the other options 31. Answer: (B) Evaluation. Evaluation includes observing the person, asking questions, and comparing the patient's behavioral responses with the expected outcomes. 32. Answer: (C) History of present illness. The history of present illness is the single most important factor in assisting the health professional in arriving at a diagnosis or determining the person's needs. 33. Answer: (A) Trochanter roll extending from the crest of the ileum to the mid-thigh. A trochanter roll, properly placed, provides resistance to the external rotation of the hip. 34. Answer: (C) Stage III. Clinically, a deep crater or without undermining of adjacent tissue is noted. 35. Answer: (A) Second intention healing. When wounds dehisce, they will allowed to heal by secondary intention 36. Answer: (D) Tachycardia. With an extracellular fluid or plasma volume deficit, compensatory mechanisms stimulate the heart, causing an increase in heart rate. 37. Answer: (A) 0.75. To determine the number of milliliters the client should receive, the nurse uses the fraction method in the following equation. 75 mg/X ml = 100 mg/1 ml To solve for X, cross-multiply: 75 mg x 1 ml = X ml x 100 mg 75 = 100Х 75/100 = X 0.75 ml (or ¾ ml) =X 38. Answer: (D) It's a measure of effect, not a standard measure of weight or quantity. An insulin unit is a measure of effect, not a standard measure of weight or quantity. Different drugs measured in units may have no relationship to one another in quality or quantity. 39. Answer: (B) 38.9 ° C. To convert Fahrenheit degreed to Centigrade, use this formula ° C= (° F - 32) ÷ 1.8 ° C= (102 - 32) ÷ 1.8 ° C= 70 ÷ 1.8 ° C= 38.9 40. Answer: (C) Failing eyesight, especially close vision. Failing eyesight, especially close vision, is one of the first signs of aging in middle life (ages 46 to 64). More frequent aches and pains begin in the early late years (ages 65 to 79). Increase in loss of muscle tone occurs in later years (age 80 and older). 41. Answer: (A) Checking and taping all connections. Air leaks commonly occur if the system isn't secure. Checking all connections and taping them will prevent air leaks. The chest drainage system is kept lower to promote drainage - not to prevent leaks. 42. Answer: (A) Check the client's identification band. Checking the client's identification band is the safest way to verify a client's identity because the band is assigned on admission and isn't be 27 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica removed at any time. (If it is removed, it must be replaced). Asking the client's name or having the client repeated his name would be appropriate only for a client who's alert, oriented, and able to understand what is being said, but isn't the safe standard of practice. Names on bed aren't always reliable 43. Answer: (B) 32 drops/minute. Giving 1,000 ml over 8 hours is the same as giving 125 ml over 1 hour (60 minutes). Find the number of milliliters per minute as follows: 125/60 minutes = X/1 minute 60Х = 125 = 2.1 ml/minute To find the number of drops per minute: 2.1 ml/X gtt = 1 ml/ 15 gtt X= 32 gtt/minute, or 32 drops/minute 44. Answer: (A) Clamp the catheter. If a central venous catheter becomes disconnected, the nurse should immediately apply a catheter clamp, if available. If a clamp isn't available, the nurse can place a sterile syringe or catheter plug in the catheter hub. After cleaning the hub with alcohol or povidone-iodine solution, the nurse must replace the I.V. extension and restart the infusion. 45. Answer: (D) Auscultation, percussion, and palpation.The correct order of assessment for examining the abdomen is inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation. The reason for this approach is that the less intrusive techniques should be performed before the more intrusive techniques. Percussion and palpation can alter natural findings during auscultation. 46. Answer: (D) Ulnar surface of the hand. The nurse uses the ulnar surface, or ball, of the hand to asses tactile fremitus, thrills, and vocal vibrations through the chest wall. The fingertips and finger pads best distinguish texture and shape. The dorsal surface best feels warmth. 47. Answer: (C) Formative. Formative (or concurrent) evaluation occurs continuously throughout the teaching and learning process. One benefit is that the nurse can adjust teaching strategies as necessary to enhance learning. Summative, or retrospective, evaluation occurs at the conclusion of the teaching and learning session. Informative is not a type of evaluation. 48. Answer: (B) Once per year. Yearly mammograms should begin at age 40 and continue for as long as the woman is in good health. If health risks, such as family history, genetic tendency, or past breast cancer, exist, more frequent examinations may be necessary. 49. Answer: (A) Respiratory acidosis. The client has a below-normal (acidic) blood ph value and an above-normal partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (Paco2) value, indicating respiratory acidosis. In respiratory alkalosis, the pH value is above normal and in the Paco2 value is below normal. In metabolic acidosis, the pH and bicarbonate (Hco3) values are below normal. In metabolic alkalosis, the pH and Hco3 values are above normal. 50. Answer: (B) To provide support for the client and family in coping with terminal illness. Hospices provide supportive care for terminally ill clients and their families. Hospice care doesn't focus on counseling regarding health care costs. Most client referred to hospices have been treated for their disease without success and will receive only palliative care in the hospice. 51. Answer: (C) Using normal saline solution to clean the ulcer and applying a protective dressing as necessary. Washing the area with normal saline solution and applying a protective dressing are within the nurse's realm of interventions and will protect the area. Using a povidone-iodine wash and an antibiotic cream require a physician's order. Massaging with an astringent can further damage the skin. 52. Answer: (D) Foot. An elastic bandage should be applied form the distal area to the proximal 28 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica area. This method promotes venous return. In this case, the nurse should begin applying the bandage at the client's foot. Beginning at the ankle, lower thigh, or knee does not promote venous return. 53. Answer: (B) Hypokalemia. Insulin administration causes glucose and potassium to move into the cells, causing hypokalemia. 54. Answer: (A) Throbbing headache or dizziness. Headache and dizziness often occur when nitroglycerin is taken at the beginning of therapy. However, the client usually develops tolerance 55. Answer: (D) Check the client's level of consciousness. Determining unresponsiveness is the first step assessment action to take. When a client is in ventricular tachycardia, there is a significant decrease in cardiac output. However, checking the unresponsiveness ensures whether the client is affected by the decreased cardiac output. 56. Answer: (B) On the affected side of the client.When walking with clients, the nurse should stand on the affected side and grasp the security belt in the midspine area of the small of the back. The nurse should position the free hand at the shoulder area so that the client can be pulled toward the nurse in the event that there is a forward fall. The client is instructed to look up and outward rather than at his or her feet. 57. Answer: (A) Urine output: 45 ml/hr. Adequate perfusion must be maintained to all vital organs in order for the client to remain visible as an organ donor. A urine output of 45 ml per hour indicates adequate renal perfusion. Low blood pressure and delayed capillary refill time are circulatory system indicators of inadequate perfusion. A serum pH of 7.32 is acidotic, which adversely affects all body tissues. 58. Answer: (D) Obtaining the specimen from the urinary drainage bag. A urine specimen is not taken from the urinary drainage bag. Urine undergoes chemical changes while sitting in the bag and does not necessarily reflect the current client status. In addition, it may become contaminated with bacteria from opening the system. 59. Answer: (B) Cover the client, place the call light within reach, and answer the phone call. Because telephone call is an emergency, the nurse may need to answer it. The other appropriate action is to ask another nurse to accept the call. However, is not one of the options. To maintain privacy and safety, the nurse covers the client and places the call light within the client's reach. Additionally, the client's door should be closed or the room curtains pulled around the bathing area. 60. Answer: (C) Use a sterile plastic container for obtaining the specimen. Sputum specimens for culture and sensitivity testing need to be obtained using sterile techniques because the test is done to determine the presence of organisms. If the procedure for obtaining the specimen is not sterile, then the specimen is not sterile, then the specimen would be contaminated and the results of the test would be invalid. 61. Answer: (A) Puts all the four points of the walker flat on the floor, puts weight on the hand pieces, and then walks into it. When the client uses a walker, the nurse stands adjacent to the affected side. The client is instructed to put all four points of the walker 2 feet forward flat on the floor before putting weight on hand pieces. This will ensure client safety and prevent stress cracks in the walker. The client is then instructed to move the walker forward and walk into it. 62. Answer: (C) Draws one line to cross out the incorrect information and then initials the change. To correct an error documented in a medical record, the nurse draws one line through the incorrect information and then initials the error. An error is never erased and correction fluid is never used in the medical record. 29 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica 63. Answer: (C) Secures the client safety belts after transferring to the stretcher. During the transfer of the client after the surgical procedure is complete, the nurse should avoid exposure of the client because of the risk for potential heat loss. Hurried movements and rapid changes in the position should be avoided because these predispose the client to hypotension. At the time of the transfer from the surgery table to the stretcher, the client is still affected by the effects of the anesthesia; therefore, the client should not move self. Safety belts can prevent the client from falling off the stretcher. 64. Answer: (B) Gown and gloves. Contact precautions require the use of gloves and a gown if direct client contact is anticipated. Goggles are not necessary unless the nurse anticipates the splashes of blood, body fluids, secretions, or excretions may occur. Shoe protectors are not necessary. 65. Answer: (C) Quad cane. Crutches and a walker can be difficult to maneuver for a client with weakness on one side. A cane is better suited for client with weakness of the arm and leg on one side. However, the quad cane would provide the most stability because of the structure of the cane and because a quad cane has four legs. 66. Answer: (D) Left side-lying with the head of the bed elevated 45 degrees. To facilitate removal of fluid from the chest wall, the client is positioned sitting at the edge of the bed leaning over the bedside table with the feet supported on a stool. If the client is unable to sit up, the client is positioned lying in bed on the unaffected side with the head of the bed elevated 30 to 45 degrees. 67. Answer: (D) Reliability Reliability is consistency of the research instrument. It refers to the repeatability of the instrument in extracting the same responses upon its repeated administration. 68. Answer: (A) Keep the identities of the subject secret. Keeping the identities of the research subject secret will ensure anonymity because this will hinder providing link between the information given to whoever is its source. 69. Answer: (A) Descriptive- correlational. Descriptive- correlational study is the most appropriate for this study because it studies the variables that could be the antecedents of the increased incidence of nosocomial infection. 70. Answer: (C) Use of laboratory data. Incidence of nosocomial infection is best collected through the use of biophysiologic measures, particularly in vitro measurements, hence laboratory data is essential. 71. Answer: (B) Quasi-experiment. Quasi-experiment is done when randomization and control of the variables are not possible. 72. Answer: (C) Primary source. This refers to a primary source which is a direct account of the investigation done by the investigator. In contrast to this is a secondary source, which is written by someone other than the original researcher. 73. Answer: (A) Non-maleficence. Non-maleficence means do not cause harm or do any action that will cause any harm to the patient/client. To do good is referred as beneficence. 74. Answer: (C) Res ipsa loquitor. Res ipsa loquitor literally means the thing speaks for itself. This means in operational terms that the injury caused is the proof that there was a negligent act. 75. Answer: (B) The Board can investigate violations of the nursing law and code of ethics. Quasi-judicial power means that the Board of Nursing has the authority to investigate violations of the nursing law and can issue summons, subpoena or subpoena duces tecum as needed. 76. Answer: (C) May apply for re-issuance of his/her license based on certain conditions stipulated in RA 9173. RA 9173 sec. 24 states that for equity and justice, a revoked license maybe 30 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica re-issued provided that the following conditions are met: a) the cause for revocation of license has already been corrected or removed; and, b) at least four years has elapsed since the license has been revoked. 77. Answer: (B) Review related literature. After formulating and delimiting the research problem, the researcher conducts a review of related literature to determine the extent of what has been done on the study by previous researchers. 78. Answer: (B) Hawthorne effect. Hawthorne effect is based on the study of Elton Mayo and company about the effect of an intervention done to improve the working conditions of the workers on their productivity. It resulted to an increased productivity but not due to the intervention but due to the psychological effects of being observed. They performed differently because they were under observation. 79. Answer: (B) Determines the different nationality of patients frequently admitted and decides to get representations samples from each. Judgment sampling involves including samples according to the knowledge of the investigator about the participants in the study. 80. Answer: (B) Madeleine Leininger. Madeleine Leininger developed the theory on transcultural theory based on her observations on the behavior of selected people within a culture. 81. Answer: (A) Random. Random sampling gives equal chance for all the elements in the population to be picked as part of the sample. 82. Answer: (A) Degree of agreement and disagreement. Likert scale is a 5-point summated scale used to determine the degree of agreement or disagreement of the respondents to a statement in a study 83. Answer: (B) Sr. Callista Roy. Sr. Callista Roy developed the Adaptation Model which involves the physiologic mode, self-concept mode, role function mode and dependence mode. 84. Answer: (A) Span of control. Span of control refers to the number of workers who report directly to a manager. 85. Answer: (B) Autonomy. Informed consent means that the patient fully understands about the surgery, including the risks involved and the alternative solutions. In giving consent it is done with full knowledge and is given freely. The action of allowing the patient to decide whether a surgery is to be done or not exemplifies the bioethical principle of autonomy. 86. Answer: (C) Avoid wearing canvas shoes. The client should be instructed to avoid wearing canvas shoes. Canvas shoes cause the feet to perspire, which may, in turn, cause skin irritation and breakdown. Both cotton and cornstarch absorb perspiration. The client should be instructed to cut toenails straight across with nail clippers. 87. Answer: (D) Ground beef patties. Meat is an excellent source of complete protein, which this client needs to repair the tissue breakdown caused by pressure ulcers. Oranges and broccoli supply vitamin C but not protein. Ice cream supplies only some incomplete protein, making it less helpful in tissue repair. 88. Answer: (D) Sims' left lateral. The Sims' left lateral position is the most common position used to administer a cleansing enema because it allows gravity to aid the flow of fluid along the curve of the sigmoid colon. If the client can't assume this position nor has poor sphincter control, the dorsal recumbent or right lateral position may be used. The supine and prone positions are inappropriate and uncomfortable for the client. 89. Answer: (A) Arrange for typing and cross matching of the client's blood. The nurse first arranges for typing and cross matching of the client's blood to ensure compatibility with donor blood. 31 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica The other options,although appropriate when preparing to administer a blood transfusion, come later. 90. Answer: (A) Independent. Nursing interventions are classified as independent, interdependent, or dependent. Altering the drug schedule to coincide with the client's daily routine represents an independent intervention, whereas consulting with the physician and pharmacist to change a client's medication because of adverse reactions represents an interdependent intervention. Administering an already-prescribed drug on time is a dependent intervention. An intradependent nursing intervention doesn't exist. 91. Answer: (D) Evaluation. The nursing actions described constitute evaluation of the expected outcomes. The findings show that the expected outcomes have been achieved. Assessment consists of the client's history, physical examination, and laboratory studies. Analysis consists of considering assessment information to derive the appropriate nursing diagnosis. Implementation is the phase of the nursing process where the nurse puts the plan of care into action. 92. Answer: (B) To observe the lower extremities. Elastic stockings are used to promote venous return. The nurse needs to remove them once per day to observe the condition of the skin underneath the stockings. Applying the stockings increases blood flow to the heart. When the stockings are in place, the leg muscles can still stretch and relax, and the veins can fill with blood. 93. Answer:(A) Instructing the client to report any itching, swelling, or dyspnea. Because administration of blood or blood products may cause serious adverse effects such as allergic reactions, the nurse must monitor the client for these effects. Signs and symptoms of life-threatening allergic reactions include itching, swelling, and dyspnea. Although the nurse should inform the client of the duration of the transfusion and should document its administration, these actions are less critical to the client's immediate health. The nurse should assess vital signs at least hourly during the transfusion. 94. Answer: (B) Decrease the rate of feedings and the concentration of the formula. Complaints of abdominal discomfort and nausea are common in clients receiving tube feedings. Decreasing the rate of the feeding and the concentration of the formula should decrease the client's discomfort. Feedings are normally given at room temperature to minimize abdominal cramping. To prevent aspiration during feeding, the head of the client's bed should be elevated at least 30 degrees. Also, to prevent bacterial growth, feeding containers should be routinely changed every 8 to 12 hours. 95. Answer: (D) Roll the vial gently between the palms. Rolling the vial gently between the palms produces heat, which helps dissolve the medication. Doing nothing or inverting the vial wouldn't help dissolve the medication. Shaking the vial vigorously could cause the medication to break down, altering its action. 96. Answer: (B) Assist the client to the semi-Fowler position if possible. By assisting the client to the semi-Fowler position, the nurse promotes easier chest expansion, breathing, and oxygen intake. The nurse should secure the elastic band so that the face mask fits comfortably and snugly rather than tightly, which could lead to irritation. The nurse should apply the face mask from the client's nose down to the chin — not vice versa. The nurse should check the connectors between the oxygen equipment and humidifier to ensure that they’re airtight; loosened connectors can cause loss of oxygen. 97. Answer: (B) 4 hours. A unit of packed RBCs may be given over a period of between 1 and 4 hours. It shouldn't infuse for longer than 4 hours because the risk of contamination and sepsis 32 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica increases after that time. Discard or return to the blood bank any blood not given within this time, according to facility policy 98. Answer: (B) Immediately before administering the next dose. Measuring the blood drug concentration helps determine whether the dosing has achieved the therapeutic goal. For measurement of the trough, or lowest, blood level of a drug, the nurse draws a blood sample immediately before administering the next dose. Depending on the drug's duration of action and half-life, peak blood drug levels typically are drawn after administering the next dose. 99. Answer: (A) The nurse can implement medication orders quickly. A floor stock system enables the nurse to implement medication orders quickly. It doesn't allow for pharmacist input, nor does it minimize transcription errors or reinforce accurate calculations. 100. Answer: (C) Shifting dullness over the abdomen. Shifting dullness over the abdomen indicates ascites, an abnormal finding. The other options are normal abdominal findings. 33 L IKEANDFOL LOW nur singr evi ewer bynur ser ica PNLE Il for Community Health Nursing and Care of the Mother and Child 1.
