Nursing 14e Chapter 65 – 70 Exam

Questions and Answers 100% Solved


1. A patient is brought to the ER following a motor vehicle accident in which

he sustained head trauma. Preliminary assessment reveals a vision deficit

in the patients left eye. The nurse should associate this

abnormal finding with trauma to which of the following cerebral lobes?

A) Temporal

B) Occipital

C) Parietal

D) Frontal - ✔✔B

Feedback:

The posterior lobe of the cerebral hemisphere is responsible for visual

interpretation. The temporal lobe

contains the auditory receptive areas. The parietal lobe contains the

primary sensory cortex, and is

essential to an individuals awareness of the body in space, as well as

orientation in space and spatial

relations. The frontal lobe functions in concentration, abstract thought,

information storage or memory, and motor function.

2. A patient scheduled for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has arrived

at the radiology department. The

nurse who prepares the patient for the MRI should prioritize which of the

following actions?

A) Withholding stimulants 24 to 48 hours prior to exam

B) Removing all metal-containing objects

C) Instructing the patient to void prior to the MRI

D) Initiating an IV line for administration of contrast - ✔✔B

Feedback:

Patient preparation for an MRI consists of removing all metal-containing

objects prior to the

examination. Withholding stimulants would not affect an MRI; this relates to

an electroencephalography

(EEG). Instructing the patient to void is patient preparation for a lumbar

puncture. Initiating an IV line

for administration of contrast would be done if the patient was having a CT

scan with contrast.

3. A gerontologic nurse planning the neurologic assessment of an older

adult is considering normal, age related changes. Of what phenomenon

should the nurse be aware?

A) Hyperactive deep tendon reflexes

B) Reduction in cerebral blood flow

C) Increased cerebral metabolism

D) Hypersensitivity to painful stimuli - ✔✔B

Feedback:

Reduction in cerebral blood flow (CBF) is a change that occurs in the

normal aging process. Deep

tendon reflexes can be decreased or, in some cases, absent. Cerebral

metabolism decreases as the patient

advances in age. Reaction to painful stimuli may be decreased with age.

Because pain is an important

warning signal, caution must be used when hot or cold packs are used.

4. The nurse has admitted a new patient to the unit. One of the patients

admitting orders is for an

adrenergic medication. The nurse knows that this medication will have what

effect on the circulatory

system?

A) Thin, watery saliva

B) Increased heart rate

C) Decreased BP

D) Constricted bronchioles - ✔✔B

Feedback:

The term adrenergic refers to the sympathetic nervous system.

Sympathetic effects include an increased

rate and force of the heartbeat. Cholinergic effects, which correspond to the

parasympathetic division of

the autonomic nervous system, include thin, watery saliva, decreased rate

and force of heartbeat, and

decreased BP.

5. A nurse is assessing reflexes in a patient with hyperactive reflexes.
