HESI EXIT MED-SURGE EXAM TEST -BANK WITH RATIONALES PERFECT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS RATED A+ The nurse is planning care for a client admitted with a diagnosis of pheochromo cytoma. Which intervention has the highest priority for inclusion in this client's plan of care? (ANS- Monitor blood pressure frequently Rationale: A pheochromocytoma is a rare, catecholamine -secreting tumor that may precipitate life-threatening hypertens ion. The tumor is malignant in 10% of cases but may be cured completely by surgical removal. Although pheochromocytoma has classically been associated with 3 syndromes —von Hippel -Lindau (VHL) syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), and neuro fibromatosis type 1 (NF1) —there are now 10 genes that have been identified as sites of mutations leading to pheochromocytoma. When caring for a client who has acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the nurse elevates the head of the bed 30 degrees. W hat is the reason for this intervention? To reduce abdominal pressure on the diaphragm To promote retraction of the intercostal accessory muscle of respiration To promote bronchodilation and effective airway clearance To decrease pressure on the medullary center which stimulates breathing (ANS - To reduce abdominal pressure on the diaphragm Rationale: a semi -sitting position is the best position for matching ventilation and perfusion and for decreasing abdominal pressure on the diaphragm, so that the clien t can maximize breathing. When assessing a mildly obese 35 -year-old female client, the nurse is unable to locate the gallbladder when palpating below the liver margin at the lateral border of the rectus abdominal muscle. What is the most likely explanatio n for failure to locate the gallbladder by palpation? The client is too obese Palpating in the wrong abdominal quadrant Deeper palpation technique is needed The gallbladder is normal ( ANS- The gallbladder is normal Rationale: a normal healthy gallbladder is not palpable A woman with an anxiety disorder calls her obstetrician's office and tells the nurse of increased anxiety since the normal vaginal delivery of her son three weeks ago. Since she is breastfeeding, she stopped taking her antianxiety medicatio ns, but thinks she may need to start taking them again because of her increased anxiety. What response is best for the nurse to provide this woman? Describe the transmission of drugs to the infant through breast milk Encourage her to use stress relieving alternatives, such as deep breathing exercises Inform her that some antianxiety medications are safe to take while breastfeeding Explain that anxiety is a normal response for the mother of a 3 -week -old. (ANS - Inform her that some antianxiety medications are safe to take while breastfeeding Rationale: there are several antianxiety medications that are not contraindicated for breastfeeding mothers. An older male client with a history of type 1 diabetes has not felt well the past few days and arrives at the clinic with abdominal cramping and vomiting. He is lethargic, moderately, confused, and cannot remember when he took his last dose of insulin or ate last. What action should the nurse implement first? Start an intravenous (IV) infusion of normal saline Obtain a serum potassium level Administer the client's usual dose of insulin Assess pupillary response to light (ANS- Start an intravenous (IV) infusion of normal saline Rationale: the nurse should first start an intravenous infusion of normal saline to replace the fluids and electrolytes because the client has been vomiting, and it is unclear when he last ate or took insulin. The symptoms of confusion, lethargy, vomiting, and abdominal cramping are all suggestive of hyperglycemia, which also contributes to diuresis and fluid electrolyte imbalance. Following discharge teaching, a male client with duodenal ulcer tells the nurse the he will drink plenty of dairy products, such as milk, to help coat and protect his ulcer. What is the best follow -
up action by the nurse? (ANS - Review with the client the need to avoid foods that are rich in milk and cream A male client with hypertension, who received new antihypertensive prescriptions at his last visit returns to the clinic two weeks later to evaluate his blood pressure (BP). His BP is 158/106 and he ad mits that he has not been taking the prescribed medication because the drugs make him "feel bad". In explaining the need for hypertension control, the nurse should stress that an elevated BP places the client at risk for which pathophysiological condition? (ANS- Stroke secondary to hemorrhag e The nurse observes an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) positioning a newly admitted client who has a seizure disorder.
