A client arrives at the urgent care center after sustaining an
ankle injury, and the health care provider prescribes the

,application of a cold compress to the ankle. The nurse, preparing
to apply the compress, examines the ankle and notes that it is
extremely edematous. The nurse should take which action?
Correct Answer Consult with the HCP before applying the cold
compress

Cold is usually contraindicated if the site of injury is extremely
edematous because it further retards circulation to the area and
prevents absorption of the interstitial fluid. For this reason,
applying the cold compress to the ankle and elevating the ankle
and placing a cold compress under and on top of the ankle are
both incorrect. The nurse would not place heat on an injury
without a prescription to do so. The nurse would consult with
the HCP about the prescription for cold application.

A client has been found to have a bladder infection. When
planning care, which area of dysfunction would cause the nurse
to monitor the client most closely for signs of a kidney
infection? Correct Answer The ureterovesical junction

The ureterovesical junction is the point where the ureters enter
the bladder. At this junction, the ureter runs obliquely for 1.5 to

,2 cm through the bladder wall before opening into the bladder.
This pathway prevents the reflux of urine back into the ureter, in
essence acting as a valve to prevent urine from traveling back
into the ureter and up to the kidney. The urethra extends from
the bladder to the opening of the body where urine is excreted.
The nephrons and glomeruli are located in the kidneys.

A client has been placed in Buck's extension traction. The nurse
can provide counter traction to reduce shear and friction by
implementing which measure? Correct Answer Slightly
elevating the foot of the bed

In Buck's extension traction, the counter traction is typically
applied with the use of the client's body and may be augmented
through elevation of the foot of the bed. Usually the foot of the
bed is elevated on blocks or the bed is put in the Trendelenburg
position. For counter traction to be maintained, it is essential that
the client not slide down in the bed. Therefore the use of the
high Fowler position is discouraged. A footboard is not used for
the purpose of counter traction.

, During remission, the client must avoid intestinal stimulants

some vegetables, that are very high in fiber. Vitamins and iron
supplements may be prescribed.
