Client 3
When using the airway, breathing, circulation approach to client care, the nurse should
determine that this client is the priority client to assess. The client has an oxygen saturation that
is less than the expected reference range, which is an indication of hypoxia.

Correct Answer (2):
Client 4
When using the airway, breathing, circulation approach to client care, the nurse should
determine that this client is the next priority client to assess. The client has a potassium level
that is less than the expected reference range, which places the client at risk for dysrhythmias.

Incorrect Answers (1):
Client 1 is incorrect. The nurse should assess this client because the client's C-reactive protein
is greater than the expected reference range, which is an indication of inflammation. However,
there is another client the nurse should assess first.

Client 2 is incorrect. The nurse should assess this client because the client's cholesterol level is
greater than the expected reference range, which places them at risk for coronary heart
disease. However, there is another client the nurse should assess first.

Incorrect Answers (2):
Client 5 is incorrect. The nurse should assess this client because their prealbumin level is less
than the expected reference range, which places them at risk for delayed wound healing.
However, this client is not the next priority client to assess.

,Client 6 is incorrect. The nurse should assess this client because their glycosylated hemoglobin
level is greater than the expected reference range, which indicates poor diabetic control.
However, this client is not the next priority client to assess.

A nurse is caring for a client who has COPD.

Select the 3 findings that require follow-up.

Breath sounds
Blood pressure
Oxygen saturation
Temperature
Heart rate - ANSCorrect Answer:
Breath Sounds
Crackles are caused by mucous in the airways and are a manifestation of pneumonia.
Decreased breath sounds indicate decreased ventilation and require follow-up by the nurse.

Oxygen Saturation
The client's oxygen saturation is below the expected reference range of 95% to 100%, indicating
hypoxia, and requires follow-up by the nurse.

Temperature
The client's temperature is greater than the expected reference range, indicating an infection,
and requires follow-up by the nurse.

Incorrect Answer:
Blood pressure is incorrect. The client's blood pressure is within the expected reference range
and does not require follow-up by the nurse.

Heart rate is incorrect. The client's heart rate is within the expected reference range of 60 to
100/min and does not require follow-up by the nurse.

A nurse in the emergency department (ED) is caring for a client who reports abdominal pain.

Based on the client's clinical findings, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Select all that apply.

Assist the client to a left side-lying position with the right knee flexed.
Prepare the client for a chest x-ray.
Administer a cleansing enema.
Auscultate the client's bowel sounds.
Perform a manual digital examination of the client's rectum.
Administer oxycodone extended-release tablets.
Prepare the client for NG tube placement. - ANSCorrect Answer:

,Assist the client to a left side-lying position with the right knee flexed
The nurse should place the client in a left side-lying position with the right knee flexed prior to
administering an enema. Because the provider prescribed a cleansing enema for the client, the
nurse should prepare the client for the procedure.

Administer a cleansing enema
The nurse should administer a cleansing enema for the client as a result of the provider's
prescription. A cleansing enema is intended to assist with bowel elimination and remove any
impacted fecal matter indicated by the abdominal x-ray.

Auscultate the client's bowel sounds
The nurse should auscultate the client's bowel sounds to determine the status of the client's
peristalsis. This is a necessary part of determining the presence of bowel sounds, which are an
indication of the status of the client's gastrointestinal tract.

Perform a manual digital examination of the client's rectum
The nurse should perform a manual digital examination of the client's rectum to determine if
impacted stool is present. This is a part of the necessary evaluation of the status of the client's
gastrointestinal tract.

Incorrect Answer:
Prepare the client for a chest x-ray is incorrect. A chest x-ray is typically performed for a client
who has an impairment of the upper thorax or lungs, not the abdomen. The client has already
received an abdominal x-ray; therefore, a chest x-ray is not necessary.

Prepare the client for NG tube placement is incorrect. The nurse should not prepare the client
for placement of an NG tube because there is no indication or prescription to do so. Placement
of an NG tube is required when there is an obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract and
peristalsis is absent.

A nurse is caring for a client who asks about the purpose of advance directives. Which of the
following statements should the nurse make?

"They allow the court to overrule an adult client's refusal of medical treatment."
"They indicate the form of treatment a client is willing to accept in the event of a serious illness."
"They permit a client to withhold medical information from health care personnel."
"They allow health care personnel in the emergency department to stabilize a client's condition."
- ANSCorrect Answer:
"They indicate the form of treatment a client is willing to accept in the event of a serious illness."
Advance directives include a living will, which permits clients to direct the treatment they will
receive in the event of a medical emergency or serious illness.

Incorrect Answer:
"They allow the court to overrule an adult client's refusal of medical treatment."

, A court can only overrule an adult client's refusal of medical treatment if the client is legally
incompetent.

"They permit a client to withhold medical information from health care personnel."
The Americans with Disabilities Act, not advance directives, protects the privacy of a client who
chooses not to disclose a medical disability.

"They allow health care personnel in the emergency department to stabilize a client's condition."
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, not advance directives, directs
emergency personnel to provide screening and stabilizing care before discharging or
transferring clients to another facility.

A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for 5 units of regular insulin and 10 units of
NPH insulin to mix together and administer subcutaneously. Determine the correct order of
steps for this procedure.

Inject 5 units of air into the bottle of regular insulin
Withdraw the correct dose of NPH insulin from the bottle
Inject 10 units of air into the bottle of NPH insulin
Withdraw the correct dose of regular insulin from the bottle - ANSCorrect Answer:
Inject 10 units of air into the bottle of NPH insulin
Inject 5 units of air into the bottle of regular insulin
Withdraw the correct dose of regular insulin from the bottle
Withdraw the correct dose of NPH insulin from the bottle

The nurse should first inject air into the vial of NPH insulin without touching the needle to the
solution. Next, the nurse should inject air into the vial of regular insulin and withdraw the correct
amount of the regular insulin. Finally, the nurse should insert the needle into the NPH insulin vial
and withdraw the correct amount of NPH insulin. The nurse should follow these steps to prevent
contaminating the regular insulin with NPH insulin.

A nurse is performing a Romberg test during the physical assessment of a client. Which of the
following techniques should the nurse use?

Touch the face with a cotton ball.
Apply a vibrating tuning fork to the client's forehead.
Have the client stand with their arms at their sides and their feet together.
Perform direct percussion over the area of the kidneys. - ANSCorrect Answer:
Have the client stand with their arms at their sides and their feet together.
A Romberg test helps identify alterations in balance. The nurse should have the client stand
with their arms at their sides and their feet together to observe for swaying and a loss of
balance.
