✓ B. A nurse with Marfan's syndrome who is postmenopausal.

✓ RATIONALE:

✓ A client receiving intracavity radiation poses a radiation hazard as long

as the intracavity

✓ radiation source is in place. A nurse's ability to care of this client is not

affected by Marfan's

✓ syndrome (B), which is a hereditary disorder of connective tissues,

bones, muscles, ligaments

✓ and skeletal structures. The goal is to limit any one staff member's

exposure to the calculated

✓ time span based on the half-life of radium, such as the number of

minutes at the bedside per day,

✓ so (A) should not be assigned. (C) should not be exposed to the

radiation due to the possible

✓ effect on the fetus. A radiation exposure decreases the immune

response in the client who should

✓ not be exposed to the potential inadvertent transmission of an

infectious organism (D).

What action is most

important for the nurse to implement?


A. Fit the client with a respirator mask.


B. Assign the client to a negative air-flow room.


C. Don a clean gown for client care.


D. Place an isolation cart in the hallway


✓ Assign the client to a negative air-flow room

✓ RATIONALE:

✓ Active tuberculosis requires implementation of airborne precautions, so

the client should be

✓ assigned to a negative pressure air-flow room (D). Although (A and C)

should be implemented

✓ for clients in isolation with contact precautions, it is most important that

air flow from the room

✓ is minimized when the client has TB. (B) should be implemented when

the client leaves the

✓ isolation environment.




2.A client is receiving atenolol (Tenormin) 25 mg PO after a myocardial

infarction. The nurse

should the nurse

implement


next?


A. Measure the blood pressure.


B. Reassess the apical pulse.


C. Notify the healthcare provider.


D. Administer the medication.


✓ Administer the medication

✓ RATIONALE:

✓ Atenolol, a beta-blocker, blocks the beta receptors of the sinoatrial

node to reduce the heart rate,

✓ so the medication should be administered (C) because the client's

apical pulse is greater than 60.

✓ (A, B, and D) are not indicated at this time.




3.The nurse is assessing a client and identifies a bruit over the thyroid. This

finding is consistent


with which interpretation?


A. Hypothyroidism.


B. Thyroid cyst.


C. Thyroid cancer.
