A. Prevent the formation of effusion fluid. B. Remove fluid from the intrapleural space. C. Debulk tumor to maintain patency of air passages. Relieve empyema after pneumonectomy Answer: A Rationale Instillation of a sclerosing agent to create pleurodesis is aimed at preventing the formation of a pleural effusion by causing the pleural spaces sealed together, thereby preventing the accumulation of pleural fluid.

Which current health problem should the nurse consider is a consequence of the radiation therapy? A. Asthma. B. Myocardial infarction. C. Chronic esophagitis with gastroesophageal reflux. Pathologic fracture of two ribs on the right chest Answer: D Rationale The ribs lie in the radiation pathway and lose density over time, becoming thin and brittle, so the occurence of two right -sided ribs with pathological fractures resulting without evidence of trauma is related to radiation damage Q: Three weeks after discharge for an acute myocardial infarction (MI), a client returns to the cardiac center for follow -up. When the nurse asks about sleep patterns, the client tells the nurse that he sleeps fine but that his wife moved into the spare bedro om to sleep when he returned home. He states, "I guess we will never have sex again after this." Which response is best for the nurse to provide? A. Sexual intercourse can be strenuous on your heart, but closeness and intimacy, such as holding and cuddling, can be maintained with your wife. B. Sexual activity can be resumed whenever you and your wife feel like it because the sexual response is more emotional rather than physical. C. You should discuss your questions about your sexual activity with your healthcare provider because sexual activity may be limited by your heart damage. D. Sexual activity is similar in cardiac workload and energy expenditure as climbing two flights of stairs and may be resumed like other activities Answer: D Rationale Sexual intercourse after an MI, or acute coronary syndrome, has been found to require no more energy expenditure or cardiac stress than walking briskly up two flights of stairs, so if you do not experience shortness of breath or chest discomfort doing the stairs then you should be okay to resume sexual activity Q: The nurse is caring for a client scheduled to undergo insertion of a percu - taneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube. The client asks the nurse to ex - plain how a PEG tube differs from a gastrostomy tube (GT). Which explanation best describes how they are different? A. Method of insertion. B. Location of the tubes. C. Diameter of the tubes. D. Procedure for feedings. Answer: A Rationale The best explanation of how a PEG tube differs from a GT is by the method of insertion. GT insertion involves making an incision in the wall of the abdomen and suturing the tube to the gastric wall. A PEG tube is more commonly used due to the fact it does not require general anesthesia and less invasive due to being inserted with endoscopic visualization through the esophagus into the stomach and then pulled thro ugh a small incision in the abdominal wall and held in place by a tiny plastic device called a "bumper" that holds the g -
tube in place inside the stomach and a small water -filled balloon which keeps the stomach in place against the abdominal wall Q: A client with a recent history of blood in his stools is scheduled for a proc - tosigmoidoscopy.

Answer: C Rationale Elevated fingerstick glucose levels need to be reported to the healthcare provider, so a plan of care can be adjusted to treat the elevated glucose level.
