Question 90 loaded rationals provided

Question: 90 of 90
CORRECT
 Time Remaining: 00:38:42
 Pause Remaining: 00:05:00
PAUSE
FLAG
A nurse is caring for a client who has atopic dermatitis and a prescription for triamcinolone
ointment. The nurse should assess the client to monitor for which of the following adverse
effects?

Increased pigmentation

Topical glucocorticoid therapy can cause the adverse effect of
hypopigmentation.

Localized hair loss

Long-term glucocorticoid therapy can cause hypertrichosis, or excessive hair
growth, especially on the facial area.

Thinning of the skin
MY ANSWER

Thinning of the skin and delayed healing are adverse effects of topical
glucocorticoid preparations. The client should only apply the ointment to dry
patches of the skin because topical steroids can cause atrophy of the dermis
and epidermis, which can result in thinning of the skin.

Increased sensitivity to the sun

The nurse should instruct the client to avoid excessive sun exposure when
taking topical fluticasone; however, triamcinolone ointment does not cause
photosensitivity.

PAUSE
FLAG
A nurse is assessing a client who has left-sided heart failure. Which of the following findings
should the nurse identify as a manifestation of left-sided heart failure?

Dependent edema

The nurse should identify that dependent edema is a manifestation of right-
sided heart failure due to right ventricular failure and fluid retention from
pressure building up in the venous system.

Jugular distention

The nurse should identify that jugular vein distention is a manifestation of
right-sided heart failure due to right ventricular failure and fluid retention
from pressure building up in the venous system.

Weight gain

The nurse should identify that weight gain is a manifestation of right-sided
heart failure due to right ventricular failure and fluid retention from pressure
building up in the venous system.

Frothy sputum
MY ANSWER

The nurse should identify that frothy sputum, dyspnea, and wheezing are
manifestations of left-sided heart failure. Treatment includes fluid restriction
and diuretics to decrease preload and reduce pulmonary congestion. Pink-
tinged frothy sputum can be an early indication of pulmonary edema and can
be life-threatening. Therefore, the nurse should notify the provider
immediately.

, FLAG
A nurse is assessing a client who has Cushing's syndrome. Which of the following findings
should the nurse expect?

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is the loss of pigment from areas of a client's skin, causing irregular,
white patches. Vitiligo is a manifestation of adrenal-gland hypofunction.

Osteoporosis
MY ANSWER

Osteoporosis is a common finding with Cushing's syndrome. Bones become
thinner as a result of mineral loss and nitrogen depletion, and the risk for
fractures increases.

Myxedema

A client who has hypothyroidism can develop myxedema that causes
mucinous cellular edema around the eyes, across the upper back, and in the
hands and feet.

Heat intolerance

A client who has hyperthyroidism can develop heat intolerance, along with
an increase in sweating.
