there are two to three increases in the fetal heart rate of 15 bpm, lasting at least 15 seconds during a 15-minute
period. (D) The NST results were normal, so there was no fetal distress.

relies on consistency in taking temperature. (C)Nightly rectal temperatures are more accurate in predicting
ovulation. (D) Activity changes the accuracy of basal body temperature and ability to detect the luteinizing
hormone surge.
Question: 6
A client is having episodes of hyperventilation related to her surgery that is scheduled tomorrow. Appropriate
nursing actions to help control hyperventilating include:

hyperventilation. Both measures increase CO2 retention. (D) Distraction will not prevent or control
hyperventilation caused by anxiety or fear.

, are also no guarantees that the couple will be able to have another child.
Question: 8
A 29-year-old client is admitted for a hysterectomy. She has repeatedly told the nurses that she is worried about
having this surgery, has not slept well lately, and is afraid that her husband will not find her desirable after the
surgery. Shortly into the preoperative teaching, she complains of a tightness in her chest, a feeling of suffocation,
lightheadedness, and tingling in her hands. Her respirations are rapid and deep. Assessment reveals that the client
is:
A. Having a heart attack
B. Wanting attention from the nurses
C. Suffering from complete upper airway obstruction
D. Hyperventilating


CORRECT ANS: D

Rationale:
(A) Classic symptoms of a heart attack include heaviness or squeezing pain in the chest, pain spreading to the jaw,
neck, and arm. Nausea and vomiting, sweating, and shortness of breath may be present. The client does not exhibit
these symptoms. (B) Clients suffering from anxiety or fear prior to surgical procedures may develop
hyperventilation. This client is not seeking attention. (C) Symptoms of complete airway obstruction include not
being able to speak, and no airflow between the nose and mouth. Breath sounds are absent. (D) Tightness in the
chest; a feeling of suffocation; lightheadedness; tingling in the hands; and rapid, deep respirations are signs and
symptoms of hyperventilation. This is almost always a manifestation of anxiety.
Question: 9

failing in a surgical incision. (C) Peritonitis, inflammation of the peritoneum, can occur when an abdominal organ,
such as the gallbladder, perforates and leaks blood and fluid into the abdominal cavity. This causes infection and
irritation. (D) Assessment findings of pulmonary embolism would reveal severe substernal chest pain, tachycardia,
tachypnea, shortness of breath, anxiety or panic, and wheezing and coughing often accompanied by blood-tinged
sputum.
Question: 10
A 35-year-old client is admitted to the hospital for elective tubal ligation. While the nurse is doing preoperative
