TEST
A nurse is caring for a client who is taking lithium and reports persistent
nausea and vomiting for 2 days. Which of the following laboratory values
should the nurse report to the provider?


a) Potassium 4.0 mEq/L
b) Lithium 0.9 mEq/L
c) BUN 12 mg/dL
d) Sodium 132 mEq/L - ANSWER---D. Sodium 132 mEq/L


Rationale:


The nurse should identify that a sodium level of 132 mEq/L is not within the
expected reference range of 136 to 145 mEq/L. This finding indicates
hyponatremia, which can lead to lithium accumulation and places the client
at risk for lithium toxicity. The nurse should report this finding to the
provider.


A nurse is caring for a client who has cancer and has a WBC count of
4,000/mm3. Which of the following
actions should the nurse take?

a) Cleanse the client's toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide.
b) Instruct the client to use a disposable razor to shave.
c) Decrease the client's protein intake.
d) Encourage the client to eat unpasteurized dairy products. - ANSWER---
A. Cleanse the client's toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide.


Rationale:


A WBC count of 4,000/mm3 is considered low and is known as leukopenia.
A low WBC count can be caused by cancer or cancer treatment. The nurse
should instruct the client to cleanse their toothbrush with hydrogen
peroxide. People with leukemia or leukopenia should avoid using
disposable razors, which can cause cuts and bleeding that can lead to
infections. Instead, they recommend using an electric razor to reduce the
risk of injury. Encouraging the client to eat unpasteurized dairy products is
not recommended as they can contain harmful bacteria that can cause
infections. Decreasing the client's protein intake is not recommended as
protein is important for wound healing and immune function

b) Obtain a referral for physical therapy.
c) Have an assistive personnel feed the client.
d) Ask the provider for a prescription for a pureed diet. - ANSWER---A.
Apply foam handles to the client's eating utensils.


Rationale:


To help a client with chronic arthritis who experiences difficulty eating,
applying foam handles to the eating utensils can provide a larger, more
comfortable grip and reduce strain on the joints. Asking for a puree diet
may not be necessary unless swallowing difficulties are present. Having an
assistive personnel feed the client may not promote independence. While
obtaining a referral for physical therapy may be beneficial for overall
mobility, it does not directly address the client's difficulty with eating.


A nurse is providing directions to an assistive personnel about moving a
client up in bed.


a. "Place a pillow under the client's head prior to repositioning."
b. "Keep your feet close together while moving the client"
c "Face in the direction of the client's movement"
d. "Move the client's arms to his sides prior to repositioning." - ANSWER---
C. "Face in the direction of the client's movement."
