Med Surge Final Exam


1…. A nurse is reviewing the laboratory data of a client who has acute pancreatitis. The nurse
should expect to find an elevation of which of following values?
Amylase


Rational
Amylase is an enzyme that changes complex sugars into simple sugars that can be used by the
body. It is produced by the pancreas and salivary glands and released into the mouth,
stomach, and intestines to aid in digestion. The amylase level of a client who has acute
pancreatitis usually increases within 12 to 24 hr and can remain elevated for 2 to 3 days.


2…. A nurse in a clinic is interviewing a client who has a possible diagnosis of endometriosis.
Which of the following findings in the client's history should the nurse recognize as consistent
with a diagnosis of endometriosis?
Dysmenorrhea that is unresponsive to NSAIDs.


Rational
Endometriosis is a condition in which the type of tissue that lines the uterus implants in
locations outside the uterus. This typically causes pelvic pain around the time of the menstrual
period but can cause pain at other times in the cycle. The discomfort is often unrelieved by the
use of NSAIDs.


3…. A nurse is caring for a client with a tracheostomy. The client's partner has been taught to
perform suctioning. Which of the following actions by the partner should indicate to the nurse
a readiness for the client's discharge?

4…. A nurse is caring for a middle adult client who has just received the diagnosis of
endometrial cancer. In taking a nursing history, which of the following manifestations is likely
to be reported by this client?
Postmenopausal bleeding


Rational
Endometrial cancer involves cancerous growth of the endometrium (lining of the uterus). The
most common manifestation of endometrial cancer is abnormal uterine bleeding, including
postmenopausal bleeding and bleeding between normal periods in premenopausal women.


5….A nurse is caring for a client who has suspected cholecystitis. The nurse should expect the
client's urine to appear which of the following colors?
Dark and foamy


Rational
The nurse should expect the client to have dark and foamy urine, which indicates the kidneys are
filtering excess bilirubin from the blood.


6….A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is taking
aspirin 650 mg every 4 hours. Which of the following diagnostic tests should the nurse monitor
to evaluate the effectiveness of this medication?
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)


Rational
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease. ESR is useful in detecting and
monitoring tissue inflammation in clients with RA. As the disease improves the ESR
decreases.
