positioning should the nurse should use to maintain optimal functioning?

Which preexisting diagnosis places a client at the greatest risk of developing superior vena cava
syndrome?

A. Carotid stenosis.

B. Steatosis hepatitis.

C. Metastatic cancer.

,Created By: A Solution


D. Clavicular fracture.

C

Rationale

Superior vena cava syndrome occurs when the superior vena cava (SVC) is compressed by
outside structures, such as a growing tumor that impedes the return blood flow to the heart.
Superior vena cava syndrome is likely to occur with metastatic cancer from a primary tumor in
the upper lobe of the right lung that compresses the superior vena cava.

The nurse is giving discharge instructions to a client with chronic prostatitis. What instruction
should the nurse provide the client to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to other areas of
the client's urinary tract?

A. Wear a condom when having sexual intercourse.

B. Avoid consuming alcohol and caffeinated beverages.

C. Empty the bladder completely with each voiding.

D. Have intercourse or masturbate at least twice a week.

D

Rationale

The prostate is not easily penetrated by antibiotics and can serve as a reservoir for
microorganisms, which can infect other areas of the genitourinary tract. Draining the prostate
regularly through intercourse or masturbation decreases the number of microorganisms present
and reduces the risk for further infection from stored contaminated seminal fluids

A client who has a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum returns to the unit after a
bronchoscopy. What nursing interventions should be implemented in the immediate post-
procedural period?

A. Keep the client on bed rest for eight hours.

B. Check vital signs every 15 minutes for two hours.

C. Allow the client nothing by mouth until the gag reflex returns.

D. Encourage fluid intake to promote elimination of the contrast media.

C

Rationale

The nasal pharynx and oral pharynx are anesthetized with local anesthetic spray prior to
bronchoscopy, and the bronchoscope is coated with lidocaine (Xylocaine) gel to inhibit the gag
reflex and prevent laryngeal spasm during insertion. The client should be NPO until the client's
gag reflex returns to prevent aspiration from any oral intake or secretions.

bleeding in the emesis, sputum, feces, urine, nasogastric secretions, or wounds.
