the
physician (or act based on agency policy). Excessive enemas could cause fluid and
electrolyte depletion. Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect for these reasons.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination. Eliminate options 1, 2, and 3
because they are similar. Also, use knowledge of basic bowel elimination
procedures and consider the physiological effects that can occur with enema
administration. This will
assist in directing you to the correct option. Review the procedure for
administering enemas if you had difficulty with this question.

A primigravida client comes to the clinic for her 36-week checkup. The
nurse prepares for which test that is done at every prenatal visit?
Rationale
Prenatal visits are scheduled every four weeks from confirmation of pregnancy
until 28 weeks, every two weeks from 28 to 36 weeks, then weekly until delivery.
Prenatal visits include measurement of maternal blood pressure and weight and
urine screening for protein. Fetal heart tones and fetal growth, using fundal height,
are measured and then compared to previous measurements as well as the
estimated date of confinement.
Assessment of fetal activity by maternal observation is also recorded. Additional
screening occurs at specific points during the pregnancy, such as testing for
gestational diabetes, neural tube defects, and sexually transmitted infections.
A postpartum nurse provides discharge instructions to the parents of a
newborn after a Gomco circumcision. Which statement by the father
indicates the need for additional instruction?

B- “When a yellow scab forms over the penis after a few days, we
will remove it so that continued healing may occur.”
C- “We should only use warm water to cleanse the diaper area until the
penis is fully healed.”
D- “It may be normal to see a small amount of blood on the gauze when
changing the diaper.”
A nurse cares for a client with an epidural catheter for labor pain
management and requests additional medication. A student registered
nurse anesthetist (SRNA) responds and administers medication via the
epidural catheter. Which action performed by the SRNA requires the
nurse to stop administration of medication?
Rationale
A- Nitroglycerin
B- Digoxin
C- Doxorubicin
D- Furosemide
Rationale
Digoxin is used to treat heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It has a low therapeutic index and
requires regular blood level monitoring to ensure levels are appropriate. Because this client has
renal failure, the risk for toxicity is higher.
Toxicity can occur with drug noncompliance and in clients with renal dysfunction because the
primary route of excretion is through the kidneys.
The nurse educates the family of a client who is experiencing delirium.
Which statement accurately describes delirium?
A- "Delirium is a condition that develops over months."
Rationale
Delirium is an acute mental disorder that can occur among hospitalized clients. It often presents
within the first 48 to 72 hours of admission. Delirium is characterized by confusion,
disorientation, and restlessness. The condition often reverses when the underlying physical
condition is treated
A nurse cares for a client who is postoperative for a spleen repair. What
is the nurse’s priority action?
Rationale
A- Smallpox
B- Shingles
C- Chickenpox
D- Rubella
Rationale
Rationale
Superficial burns involve only the epidermal layer of skin and do not blister but are painful, dry,
red, and blanch with pressure. Partial thickness burns include two subcategories: those involving
the epidermis (superficial) and those involving portions of the dermis (deep). Superficial partial
thickness burns form blisters within 24 hours and are very painful, red, and weeping but can still
blanch with pressure. Deep partial thickness burns extend into the deeper dermis and can be very
painful or painful only to pressure. They appear red and waxy white with wet blisters, and they
blanch slowly, if at all. Full thickness burns destroy all layers of the dermis and may involve
subcutaneous tissue. These burns do not hurt. The skin appears white or gray or even blackened.
No blisters will develop. Pale full thickness burns may appear like normal skin, but there is no
blanching and the skin is no longer elastic due to the damage. Deep full thickness burns are
black, dry, and painless. They are potentially life-threatening, extending through the skin into
fascia, muscle, and or bone.
The nurse cares for a client with full-thickness burns and assesses a
blood pressure of 85/55 mmHg, pulse of 109 beats/min., and respiration
rate of 22 breaths/min. Which action does the nurse take first?
Rationale
The client with full thickness burns is at high risk for fluid imbalance
due to third spacing or capillary leak syndrome. This results from leak of
plasma from the vascular space into the interstitial space. The nurse
should gather all relevant data related to this complication to provide to
the health care provider to ensure the best prescription to treat the
hypotension. Other relevant data would include current sodium,
potassium, albumin, and haematocrit levels.
A- Aerosol mask
B- Bilevel positive airway pressure mask
C- Venturi mask
D- Nasal cannula
Rationale
The Venturi mask is the most accurate, noninvasive oxygen delivery system.
Clients at risk for CO2 retention, such as clients with COPD, benefit from a
Venturi mask because the FiO2 can be controlled. A nasal cannula is a low-flow
delivery system that does not provide precise FiO2 concentrations. The aerosol
mask is most often used for high humidity or for the use of medication delivery. It
does not provide high-flow oxygen or allow for precise control of FiO2
concentration. A bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) mask is used when
additional pressure support is needed with ventilation.
