cast. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation
of this condition? - CORRECT answer Pain that increases with passive movement


Rationale: The nurse should identify that a client who has compartment syndrome
experiences pain that increases with passive movement. Compartment syndrome
results from a decrease in blood flow in the extremity caused by a decrease in the
muscle compartment size due to a cast that is too tight.


A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a severe form of stage II Lyme
disease. Which of the following statements made by the client reflects an
understanding of the teaching? - CORRECT answer My joints ache because I have
Lyme disease


Rationale: Lyme disease is a vector-borne illness transmitted by the deer tick. The
disease course occurs in three stages beginning with joint and muscle pain in
stage I. If left untreated, these symptoms continue throughout stage II and, by
stage III, become chronic. Other chronic complications include memory problems
and fatigue.

,A nurse is caring for a client who had a nephrostomy tube inserted 12 hr ago.

which can indicate that the nephrostomy tube is dislodged or clogged.


A nurse is teaching a family about the care of a parent who has a new diagnosis of
Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following information should the nurse include
in the teaching? - CORRECT answer Create complete outfits and allow the client
to select one each day


Rationale: The family should place completed outfits on hangers and allow the
client to select which one to wear each day.


A nurse is caring for a client who has breast cancer and tells the nurse that they
would like to have acupuncture because it provides greater relief than pain
medication. Which of the following statements should the nurse make? -
CORRECT answer "I can speak to the provider about incorporating acupuncture
into your treatment plan."


Rationale: The nurse should serve as an advocate for the client by acting on behalf
of the client and offering to speak with the provider. The client has the right to
make choices and decisions about their treatment and the nurse should support
these decisions and assist the client to carry them out.

A nurse is caring for a client who has an arterial line. Which of the following
actions should the nurse take? - CORRECT answer place a pressure bag around
the flush solution


Rationale: The nurse should place a pressure bag around the flush solution of
0.9% sodium chloride because the pressure from an artery is greater than that of
the line.
An arterial line is not appropriate access for administering antibiotics. The nurse
should use the arterial line to obtain arterial blood gas samples and monitor
hemodynamic pressures.


A nurse is updating the plan of care for a client who is receiving chemotherapy.
Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as the priority? -
CORRECT answer Report of sore throat


Rationale: When using the urgent vs. nonurgent approach to client care, the nurse
should determine that the priority finding is a report of a sore throat, which could
be a manifestation of an infection. The client is at risk for neutropenia due to
myelosuppression; therefore, an infection could lead to sepsis.

, A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? -
CORRECT answer Facial butterfly rash


Rationale: A butterfly rash is a manifestation of SLE. It appears as a dry, red rash
on the client's cheeks and nose and can disappear during times of remission.


A nurse is planning care for a client who is postoperative following a
parathyroidectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse identify as
the priority? - CORRECT answer Place tracheostomy tray at the bedside

breathing, circulation approach to client care is to place a tracheostomy tray at the
client's bedside in case of airway obstruction.

findings should the nurse expect? - CORRECT answer Low urine specific gravity


Rationale: An expected finding for a client who has diabetes insipidus is a urine
specific gravity between 1.001 and 1.005. Decreased water reabsorption by the
renal tubules is caused by an alteration in antidiuretic hormone release or the
kidneys' responsiveness to the hormone.
