1. Knowing that for a comatose patient hearing is the last sense to be lost, as Judy’s nurse, what should you do?
- A. Tell her family that probably she can’t hear them
- B. Talk loudly so that Wendy can hear you
- C. Tell her family who are in the room not to talk
- D. Speak softly then hold her hands gently
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Nursing interventions should be grounded in a deep understanding of the physiological processes involved, ensuring that care provided is both effective and efficient.
2. A client is receiving treatment with capecitabine. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor?
- A. Hyperglycemia
- B. Hypocalcemia
- C. Neutropenia
- D. Bradycardia
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Capecitabine is known to cause neutropenia as a common adverse effect due to bone marrow suppression. Neutropenia increases the risk of infections and requires close monitoring to prevent complications. Hyperglycemia (Choice A) is not typically associated with capecitabine. Hypocalcemia (Choice B) and Bradycardia (Choice D) are not commonly linked to capecitabine use, making them incorrect choices.
3. When teaching a client who has a new prescription for Ciprofloxacin, which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
- A. Take this medication with an antacid.
- B. Avoid direct sunlight.
- C. Increase your intake of dairy products.
- D. Expect urine to turn orange.
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct instruction for a client prescribed Ciprofloxacin is to avoid direct sunlight. Ciprofloxacin can cause photosensitivity, increasing the risk of sunburn. Clients should be advised to avoid direct sunlight and wear protective clothing, including hats and sunglasses when going outdoors to prevent skin damage. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Taking Ciprofloxacin with an antacid can reduce its absorption, so they should not be taken together. Increasing dairy product intake is not necessary or relevant to taking Ciprofloxacin. While Ciprofloxacin can discolor urine, turning it orange, this is not a critical side effect that requires specific instructions for the client.
4. Strategies to advance your career and opportunities available in your first job can coexist. Identify factors that will help you prioritize these opportunities to fulfill your goals. (Select all that apply.)
- A. Self-actualization and assessing your values and your lifestyle.
- B. Determine where you can grow and develop professionally.
- C. Your ability to work as a team member.
- D. Reflect on your long-term career aspirations.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Self-actualization involves assessing your values and lifestyle, which is crucial for prioritizing opportunities that align with your goals. This process helps you understand yourself better and make informed decisions to advance your career. Choice B is incorrect because focusing solely on salary may not necessarily lead to career growth and fulfillment. Choice C is about teamwork skills, which are important but not directly related to prioritizing career opportunities. Choice D is about seeking opinions from others, which may not always align with your personal goals and aspirations.
5. The nurse is conducting discharge teaching with the parent of a 7-year-old child with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS). What statement by the parent indicates a correct understanding of the teaching?
- A. My child needs to stay home from school for at least 1 more month.
- B. I should not add additional salt to any of my child's meals.
- C. My child will not be able to participate in contact sports while receiving corticosteroid therapy.
- D. I should measure my child's urine after each void and report the 24-hour amount to the healthcare provider.
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding additional salt is crucial to help manage edema in children with MCNS. While monitoring urine output is important, the other statements either misinterpret the need for prolonged school absence or misunderstand the risk associated with contact sports during steroid therapy.
