The nurse is working in an urgent care clinic that has standardized treatment protocols for implementation by
nursing staff. After reviewing the history, physical assessment, and vital signs for a 60-year-old patient as shown

a. Check the patient's blood glucose level.
b. Take the blood pressure on the left arm.
c. Use an irrigating syringe to clean the ear canals.
d. Report the vision change to the health care provider.
The sudden change in peripheral vision may indicate an acute problem, such as retinal detachment, that
should be treated quickly to preserve vision. The other data about the patient are not indicative of any acute
problem. The other actions are also appropriate, but the highest priority for this patient is prevention of
blindness.

by the nurse is best?
a. "No, it may interfere with the warfarin."
b. "There isn't any information about that."
c. "Why would you want to take that?"
d. "Yes, it is a good supplement for you."
Many foods and drugs interfere with warfarin, St. John's wort being one of them. The nurse should advise the
client against taking it. The other answers are not accurate.
Question 8
0 out of 3.2 points
The nurse is caring for a client preparing to have a laparascopic cholecystectomy in the morning. Which
statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
1. “I should be able to go home within a day after the procedure.”
2. “I will probably have bandages over the puncture sites.”
3. “I am glad I won’t need to have an open cholecystectomy.”
4. “I will tell the nurse if I feel nauseated after surgery.”
A patient with a laparoscopic cholecystectomy is at risk for needing an open cholecystectomy if the procedure
cannot be completed laparoscopically due to complications. Patients are typically discharged within 24 hours.
The patient will likely have adhesive bandages over the puncture sites. Nausea is common after surgery and
should be reported to the nurse.

a. "I sleep with four pillows at night."
b. "My shoes fit really tight lately."
c. "I wake up coughing every night."
d. "I have trouble catching my breath."
Signs of systemic congestion occur with right-sided heart failure. Fluid is retained, pressure builds in the
venous system, and peripheral edema develops. Left-sided heart failure symptoms include respiratory
symptoms. Orthopnea, coughing, and difficulty breathing all could be results of left-sided heart failure.
