TEST

A nurse is caring for a client who is taking lithium and reports persistent nausea and vomiting

for 2 days. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to the provider?




a) Potassium 4.0 mEq/L

b) Lithium 0.9 mEq/L

c) BUN 12 mg/dL

d) Sodium 132 mEq/L

✓ D. Sodium 132 mEq/L

✓

✓ Rationale:

✓

✓ The nurse should identify that a sodium level of 132 mEq/L is not within the expected
reference range of 136 to 145 mEq/L. This finding indicates hyponatremia, which can
lead to lithium accumulation and places the client at risk for lithium toxicity. The nurse
should report this finding to the provider.

A nurse is caring for a client who has cancer and has a WBC count of 4,000/mm3. Which of

the following

actions should the nurse take?




a) Cleanse the client's toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide.

b) Instruct the client to use a disposable razor to shave.

c) Decrease the client's protein intake.

d) Encourage the client to eat unpasteurized dairy products.

✓ A. Cleanse the client's toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide.

✓

✓ Rationale:

✓

✓ A WBC count of 4,000/mm3 is considered low and is known as leukopenia. A low WBC
count can be caused by cancer or cancer treatment. The nurse should instruct the client to
cleanse their toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide. People with leukemia or leukopenia
should avoid using disposable razors, which can cause cuts and bleeding that can lead to
infections. Instead, they recommend using an electric razor to reduce the risk of injury.
Encouraging the client to eat unpasteurized dairy products is not recommended as they
can contain harmful bacteria that can cause infections. Decreasing the client's protein
intake is not recommended as protein is important for wound healing and immune function

b) Obtain a referral for physical therapy.

c) Have an assistive personnel feed the client.

d) Ask the provider for a prescription for a pureed diet.

✓ A. Apply foam handles to the client's eating utensils.

✓

✓ Rationale:

✓

✓ To help a client with chronic arthritis who experiences difficulty eating, applying foam
handles to the eating utensils can provide a larger, more comfortable grip and reduce
strain on the joints. Asking for a puree diet may not be necessary unless swallowing
difficulties are present. Having an assistive personnel feed the client may not promote
independence. While obtaining a referral for physical therapy may be beneficial for
overall mobility, it does not directly address the client's difficulty with eating.



A nurse is providing directions to an assistive personnel about moving a client up in bed.




a. "Place a pillow under the client's head prior to repositioning."

b. "Keep your feet close together while moving the client"

c "Face in the direction of the client's movement"

d. "Move the client's arms to his sides prior to repositioning."
