NUR 306 Prep U Exam 1 Practice
Question and answers already passed
An inexperienced nurse has just performed percussion on a client's chest and
detected hyper-resonance, which would tend to indicate emphysema.
However, the client is 35 years old, appears healthy otherwise, and denies
ever having smoked. The nurse realizes that the data need to be validated.
Which method of validation would be most appropriate in this case?


Confirm that the client has truly never been a smoker by asking him.
Clarify the data by asking whether the client has experienced any trouble
breathing lately.
Repeat the percussion using the nondominant hand.
Verify the data by having another nurse come in to perform the percussion.
Verify the data by having another nurse come in to perform the percussion.


The most appropriate method of validation in this case would be to have
another nurse come in to perform the percussion. We know that the nurse is
inexperienced, and with all of the other information supplied, it is much more
likely that the discrepancy is due to improper percussion technique or faulty
interpretation of the sound than it is to the client actually having emphysema.
Repeating the procedure with the nondominant hand is not likely to change
the results. If the client appears healthy and has not reported breathing
difficulty, it is not likely that he has emphysema. If the client has already
denied smoking, asking him again will likely only insult him.




A client who takes oral contraceptives states that she often experiences
breast pain just before her menstrual cycle begins. When using the COLDSPA
mnemonic to assess the client's pain, the nurse should begin by asking which
of the following?

,"Would you describe the pain as being constant or as intermittent?"
"Is there anything that makes the pain worse or better?"
"How would you describe your pain? Is it sharp? Is it an ache?"
"Has the pain changed over time?"
"How would you describe your pain? Is it sharp? Is it an ache?"


The "C" in COLDSPA elicits the character of the client's pain. It does not
address alleviating and aggravating factors or the timing.
