The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Wear protective clothing and sunglasses when she is outside
B. Avoid using dietary supplements and over the counter medications
C. Make sure that she consumes adequate fluids each day
D. Increase her intake of iron, including liver and lentils
Nardil, an MAOI, should not be used with dietary supplements or over the counter medications. Answer A refers to care of the client receiving antipsychotic medication; therefore, it is incorrect. Answer C refers to the client taking lithium; therefore, it is incorrect. Answer D is incorrect because liver is high in tyramine and should be avoided by the client taking Nardil.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Take the medication as ordered prior to the exam
B. Limit the amount of protein in the diet prior to the exam
C. Discontinue the medication prior to the exam
D. Take the medication with only water prior to the exam
Glucophage can cause renal problems. The dye used in cardiac catheterizations is also detrimental to the kidneys. The client may be placed on sliding scale insulin for 48 hours after the dye procedure or until renal function returns. Note the syllable phage, as seen in the syllable phagia, which means eating. Also note that answers A and C are opposites. Answer A is incorrect because the medication should be withheld; answer B is incorrect because limiting the amount of protein in the diet prior to the exam has no correlation to the medication. Taking the medication with water is not necessary, so answer D is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is True
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Prepare the child for surgery
B. Document the finding only
C. Notify the physician
D. Palpate the child’s abdomen
The passage of a soft formed brown stool is an indication that the intussusception is resolving. Answer A is incorrect because the condition is resolving without surgery.

The nurse in answer C has no experience with the postpartum client, so the answer is incorrect. The nurse in answer D also has no experience with postpartum clients, so the answer is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Blood or body fluid exposure to the virus
B. Emptying her cat’s litter box
C. Contaminated food or water
D. Pigeon feces
Cytomegalovirus virus is transmitted predominantly by blood or body fluid exposure to the virus. Answer B is incorrect, toxoplasmosis is transmitted through contaminated cat feces. Answer C is incorrect because contaminated food or water can cause many illnesses; for example, E. coli, listeria, Clostridium difficile, and many others. Answer D is incorrect because histoplasmosis is transmitted by bird feces.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Lying on a firm surface that does not distribute weight
B. Resting in a semi-sitting position that allows gradual downward movement
C. Rubbing or irritating the skin so that epithelial cells are removed
D. Compression of blood vessels that leads to ischemia, inflammation, and tissue necrosis
Shear or shearing forces occur whenever the skin is stationary while tissues below the skin are able to shift or move. Answers A and D are incorrect because they describe the physical force of pressure. Answer C refers to friction; therefore, it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Clamp the tubing for 15 minutes every hour
B. Irrigate the tubing with normal saline to remove clots
C. Avoid clamping or kinking the tubing
D. Suspend the tubing above the level of the abdomen
The nurse should avoid clamping or kinking the nephrostomy because urine would be retained in the kidney. Answer A is incorrect because the tubing should not be clamped. Answer B is incorrect because the tubing should not be irrigated because it would damage the renal tissue. Answer D is incorrect because suspending the tubing would cause urine to be retained in the kidney.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Warming the intravenous fluids
B. Determining whether the client can take oral fluids
C. Checking for the strength of pedal pulses
D. Obtaining the specific gravity of the urine
Warming the intravenous fluid helps to prevent further stress on the vascular system. Thirst is a sign of hypovolemia; however, oral fluids alone will not meet the fluid needs of the client in hypovolemic shock, so answer B is incorrect. Answers C and D are wrong because they can be used for baseline information but will not help stabilize the client.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. The nurse offers extra blankets.
B. The nurse places a tracheostomy tube at the bedside.
C. The nurse insists that the client refrain from talking.
D. The nurse administers pain medication every four hours.
The thyroid is located anterior to the trachea; therefore, laryngeal stridor and airway obstruction is a risk following a thyroidectomy. Answer A is incorrect because this action is not necessary. The need for extra blankets is associated with hypothyroidism, but is not directly associated with thyroid surgery. Answer C is incorrect because the client can talk. Answer D is incorrect because pain medication should be offered as needed, not every four hours.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Checking the client’s blood sugar
B. Administering intravenous dextrose
C. Intubation and ventilator support
D. Administering regular insulin
The client has symptoms of insulin shock and the first step is to check the client’s blood sugar. If indicated, the client should be treated with intravenous dextrose. Answer B is wrong because it is not the first step the nurse should take. Answer C is wrong because it does not apply to the client’s symptoms. Answer D is wrong because it would be used for diabetic ketoacidosis, not insulin shock.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Hemarthrosis of the elbow
B. Bruise of the ankle
C. Bruise of the ankle
D. Unilateral numbness and lack of movement of arm
The neurological symptoms could mean an intracranial bleed has occurred. The answers in A, B, and C are reasons for concern, but they are not the priority, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Fever and chills
B. Hypotension and tachycardia
C. Rash and hives
D. Decreased urinary output and hypertension
Other symptoms include respiratory distress and anaphylaxis. Answer A describes febrile nonhemolytic reaction, so it is incorrect. Answer B occurs with hemolytic reaction and answer D is not associated with a blood transfusion reaction, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
Change 1 g to milligrams, knowing that 1000 mg =1 g.
Also, when converting from grams to milligrams (larger to smaller), move the decimal point three places to the right: 1 g = 1000 mg.
Next, use the formula for calculating the correct dose.
Formula: Desired / Available x Tablet = 1000 mg / 500 mg = 2 tablets
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. No need for any medical treatment for radiation exposure
B. Have damage to the bones, kidneys, liver, and thyroid
C. Experience only erythema and desquamation
D. Not be radioactive because the radiation passes through the body
The client with incorporation radiation injuries requires immediate medical treatment. Most of the damage occurs to the bones, kidneys, liver, and thyroid. Answers A, C, and D refer to external irradiation, so they are wrong.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Recent cardio thoracic surgery
B. Diabetes mellitus
C. Rheumatoid arthritis
D. Emphysema
Recent abdominal or thoracic surgery are contraindications for chest physiotherapy. Chest physiotherapy includes the use of percussion, vibration and postural chest drainage. Chest physiotherapy is not contraindicated for the client with diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, or emphysema, therefore answers B, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Wheezing respirations
B. “Cherry red” skin
C. Gastric ulceration
D. “Burgundy” colored urine
The vasodilating action of carbon monoxide causes the client’s skin to become “cherry red” in color. Answer A refers to inhalation injury, not carbon monoxide poisoning; therefore, it is incorrect. Answer C is incorrect because it refers to Curling’s ulcer, which sometimes occurs as a result of major burn injury. Answer D is associated with myoglobinuria, not carbon monoxide poisoning; therefore, it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Metabolic alkalosis
B. Metabolic acidosis
C. Respiratory alkalosis
D. Respiratory acidosis
The client with anorexia nervosa is in a state of negative nitrogen balance. She is likely experiencing metabolic acidosis. Answer A is incorrect because metabolic alkalosis is reflected as an increase in HCO3. Clients with anorexia will show a deficit in HCO3. Answers C and D are incorrect because anorexia nervosa clients have a metabolic disorder, not a respiratory disorder
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Telling the child how important it is to drink fluids
B. Telling the child how important it is to drink fluids
C. Providing soup on the lunch and dinner meals
D. Offering flavored ice pops or iced Slurpees
A child will likely accept the fluids in this answer better than the others listed. The child is too young to understand the statement in answer A, so it is inappropriate. Answers B and C are good sources of fluids but would not be best or acceptable for a 3-year-old, so they are incorrect.
