Exam Practice Questions with Correct i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




Answers and Rationale | Nightingale. i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




The registered nurse (RN) is assisting the healthcare provider
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



(HCP) with the removal of a chest tube. Which intervention has
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



the highest priority and should be anticipated by the RN after
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



the removal of the chest tube?
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




-Prepare the client for chest x-ray at the bedside.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




-Review arterial blood gases after removal.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




-Elevate the head of bed to 45 degrees.i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




-Assist with disassembling the drainage system.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-i.- i.- Prepare i.-



the client for chest x-ray at the bedside.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




Rationale
A chest x-ray should be performed immediately after the
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



removal of a chest tube to ensure lung expansion has been
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



maintained after its removal. i.- i.- i.-




The registered nurse (RN) is caring for a client who has a closed
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



head injury from a motor vehicle collision. Which finding should
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



the RN assess the client for the risk of diabetes insipidus (DI)?
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-

,-High fever. i.-




-Low blood pressure. i.- i.-




-Muscle rigidity. i.-




-Polydipsia. i.-i.- Polydipsia.
i.-




Rationale
A characteristic finding of DI is excretion of large quantities of
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



urine (5 to 20L/day), and most clients compensate for fluid loss
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



by drinking large amounts of water (polydipsia). DI can occur
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



when there has been damage or injury to the pituitary gland or
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



hypothalamus as a result of head trauma, tumor or an illness i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



such as meningitis. This damage interrupts the ADH production,
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



storage and release causing the excessive urination and thirst.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




The registered nurse (RN) is caring for a client with acute
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



pancreatitis and assesses the admission laboratory results. i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



What laboratory value should the RN anticipate being elevated
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



with this diagnosis?
i.- i.-




-Triglycerides.
-Amylase.
-Creatinine.
-Uric acid. i.- i.-i.- i.- Amylase.
Rationale

, An elevated amylase level is associated with acute pancreatitis.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-




The registered nurse (RN) did not note that a prescription dose
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



was recently changed and did not note the updated medication
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



administration record (MAR). After giving the client the original i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



dose, the RN reports the medication error to the nurse
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



manager. What consequences will the RN experience due toi.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



this error in medication administration?
i.- i.- i.- i.-




-The incident will be reported to the state's Board of Nursing
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



(BON).
-A medication error report will be completed and risk
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



management will be notified. i.- i.- i.-




-The RN will be suspended from medication administration until
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



the error is investigated.
i.- i.- i.-




-The incident will be documented in the RN's personnel file.
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-i.- i.-



A medication error report will be completed and risk
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



management will be notified. i.- i.- i.-




Rationale
By reviewing quality of care internally, steps of care can be
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



evaluated and staff can be educated where gaps are identified.i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



The medication report and notification of management is the
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



responsibility of the RN who made the mistake, so an internal i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



review of the steps of the occurrence can be completed to
i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.- i.-



determine further risk potentials. i.- i.- i.-
