MS2- Module 2- Cardiovascular EAQ. Exam
Questions With Correct Answers
Which position would the nurse plan to use for the client who is having a hypertensive crisis and
evolving stroke?
A. Supine
B. Side-lying
C. Orthopneic
D. Trendelenburg - answer✔✔ANS: B
Side-lying
Rationale:
The side-lying position will neither raise intracranial pressure nor interfere with respirations and
will permit oral secretions to drain from the mouth by gravity.
A- The supine position can compromise the airway by permitting the tongue to fall to the
posterior pharynx and obstruct the airway.
C- The orthopneic position may place pressure on the brainstem.

D- The Trendelenburg position is contraindicated because it may increase intracranial pressure.
Which topic will the nurse include in teaching for a client with Raynaud disease?
A. Tobacco avoidance
B. Dietary salt reduction
C. Need for increased exercise
D. Low-fat, low-cholesterol diet - answer✔✔ANS: A
Tobacco avoidance
Rationale:
The symptoms of Raynaud disease are caused by sudden arterial vasoconstriction and tobacco
use also causes arterial vasoconstriction, which will worsen symptoms.
B- Dietary salt is not a factor in causing the sudden arterial spasm that leads to the symptoms of
Raynaud disease.
C- There is no indication for increased exercise in Raynaud disease, although the nurse will teach
the client to avoid exercising in cold temperatures.
D- Raynaud disease is not caused by atherosclerosis, and a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet will not
help prevent symptoms.
When teaching a client who has a new diagnosis of Raynaud disease, which information will the
nurse include? Select all that apply.
A. Medications will be needed to control the symptoms.
, EXAM STUDY MATERIALS 8/7/2024 11:29 AM
B. Stop cigarette smoking and other tobacco use.
C. Wear gloves when getting food from the freezer.
D. Plan to take a daily low-dose aspirin tablet.
E. Avoid going quickly from a warm to a cold environment. - answer✔✔ANS: B, C, E
Rationale:
Tobacco use increases the vasospasm that causes Raynaud disease symptoms. Use of gloves
when handling cold foods helps prevent triggering of vasospasm in the fingers. Moving quickly
from a warm to a cold environment may trigger vasospasm and cause symptoms.
A- Medications such as calcium channel blockers are only used after lifestyle changes are
unsuccessful in relieving symptoms.
D- Low-dose aspirin is not used for treatment of Raynaud disease.
A child with pulmonary edema is treated with opioids and furosemide. Which nursing
interventions would the nurse perform to promote safe medication administration? Select all that
apply.
A. Following the principle of atraumatic care
B. Administering oral drugs with food or snacks
C. Documenting the client's age, weight, and height
D. Exposing the child to sunlight for healthy growth

E. Administering medications if the client reports dizziness or drowsiness - answer✔✔ANS: A,
B, C
Rationale:
A local anesthetic should be applied at the injection site to promote atraumatic care.
Administering drugs with food reduces gastric discomfort. The client's afe, weight, and height
should be documented to help ensure correct calculation of the medication dose.
D- A child who is undergoing treatment with diuretics should not be exposed to sunlight because
this can cause fluid volume loss and exhaustion.
E- If the client reports dizziness or drowsiness, medications should not be administered until a
prescription is prescribed by the primary health care provider.
Which would the nurse do to help alleviate the distress of a client with heart failure and
pulmonary edema?
A. Encourage frequent coughing.
B. Elevate the client's lower extremities.
C. Prepare for modified postural drainage.
D. Place the client in the orthopneic position. - answer✔✔ANS: D
Place the client in the orthopneic position.
Rationale:
The orthopneic, or tripod position, allows maximum lung expansion because gravity reduces the
pressure of the abdominal viscera on the diaphragm and lungs.
