burning and a sharp pain in the sole of the foot that intensifies in
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



the morning. Which abnormal condition does the nurse
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



anticipate in the client? i,- i,- i,-




1
Torticollis
2
Pes planus i,-




3
Tenosynovitis

Plantar fasciitis is a condition associated with a burning sensation

unusual position to one side. Pes planus is the abnormal flatness
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-

Which nursing assessment is most important for a large-for-
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



gestational-age (LGA) infant of a diabetic mother (IDM)? i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-




1
Temperature less than 98° F (36.6° C) i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-




2
Heart rate of 110 beats/min
i,- i,- i,- i,-




3
Blood glucose level less than 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L)
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-




4
Increasing bilirubin during the first 24 hours i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- 3
At birth, circulating maternal glucose is removed; however, the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



IDM still has a high level of insulin, and rebound hypoglycemia
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



may develop. The temperature-regulating ability of an IDM is
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



similar to that of a healthy neonate, unless the IDM is preterm. A
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



heart rate of 110 beats/min is within the expected range for a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



newborn. Pathologic jaundice is associated with hemolytic
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



diseases such as Rh and ABO incompatibilities and sepsis, not

,A client is admitted to the hospital with multiple signs and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



symptoms associated with a cardiac problem. What clinical
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-

probably will insert a pacemaker? i,- i,- i,- i,-




1
Angina
2
Chest pain i,-




3
Heart block i,-




4
Tachycardia i,-i,- i,- 3
Heart block is the primary indication for a pacemaker because
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



there is an interference with the electrical conduction of impulses
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



from the atria to the ventricles of the heart. The primary
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



treatment for angina is medication; angina is not an indication for
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



a pacemaker. The primary treatment for chest pain is medication;
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



chest pain is not an indication for a pacemaker. The primary
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



treatment for tachycardia is medication; tachycardia is not an
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-

Perform the head tilt-chin lift maneuver. i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-




4
Perform chest compression at a rate of 100/min. i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,- 1
Once it is verified that the person is unresponsive and the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



emergency medical system has been activated, then whether the i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



client is breathing should be established. Rescue breaths are not
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



given with the hands-only basic life support method of CPR.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



Chest compressions are initiated as soon as it is identified that
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



the person is not breathing; they are given at a rate of 100/min,
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



to a depth of 2 inches (5 cm) each for 2 minutes, allowing full
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



chest recoil between compressions. This quickly circulates the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-



blood.


Which criteria should a nurse assess before preparing to
