MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A
68-year-old patient has been in the intensive care unit for 4 days and has a
nursing diagnosis of disturbed sensory perception related to sleep deprivation.
Which action should the nurse include in the plan of care?
a. Administer prescribed sedatives or opioids at bedtime to promote sleep.
b. Cluster nursing activities so that the patient has uninterrupted rest periods.
c. Silence the alarms on the cardiac monitors to allow 30- to 40-minute naps.
d. Eliminate assessments between 0100 and 0600 to allow uninterrupted sleep.
ANS: B
Clustering nursing activities and providing uninterrupted rest periods will
minimize sleep-cycle disruption. Sedative and opioid medications tend to
decrease the amount of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and can contribute to
sleep disturbance and disturbed sensory perception. Silencing the alarms on the
cardiac monitors would be unsafe in a critically ill patient, as would discontinuing
assessments during the night.
2. Which hemodynamic parameter is most appropriate for the nurse to monitor
,to determine theeffectiveness of medications given to a patient to reduce left
ventricular afterload?
a. Mean arterial pressure (MAP)
,b. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
c. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR)
d. Pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP)
ANS: B
Systemic vascular resistance reflects the resistance to ventricular ejection, or
afterload. The other parameters will be monitored, but do not reflect afterload as
directly.
3. Whilefamily members are visiting, a patient has a respiratory arrest and is
being resuscitated.Which action by the nurse is best?
a. Tell the family members that watching the resuscitation will be very stressful.
b. Ask family members if they wish to remain in the room during the resuscitation.
c. Take the family members quickly out of the patient room and remain with them.
d. Assign a staff member to wait with family members just outside the patient
room.
ANS: B
, Research indicates that family members want the option of remaining in the
room during procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and that
this decreases anxiety andfacilitates grieving. The other options may be
appropriate if the family decides not to remain with the patient.
