While instructing a male client's wife in the performance of passive range-of-
motion exercises to his contracted shoulder, the nurse observes that she is holding
his arm above and below the elbow. What nursing action should the nurse
implement?
A. Acknowledge that she is supporting the arm correctly.
B. Encourage her to keep the joint covered to maintain warmth.
C. Reinforce the need to grip directly under the joint for better support.
D. Instruct her to grip directly over the joint for better motion.
The wife is performing the passive ROM correctly, therefore the nurse should
acknowledge this fact (A). The joint that is being exercised should be uncovered
(B) while the rest of the body should remain covered for warmth and privacy. (C
and D) do not provide adequate support to the joint while still allowing for joint
movement.
Correct Answer: A
What is the most important reason for starting intravenous infusions in the
upper extremities rather than the lower extremities of adults?
A. It is more difficult to find a superficial vein in the feet and ankles.
B. A decreased flow rate could result in the formation of a thrombosis.
C. A cannulated extremity is more difficult to move when the leg or foot is used.
D. Veins are located deep in the feet and ankles, resulting in a more painful procedure.
Venous return is usually better in the upper extremities. Cannulation of the veins
in the lower extremities increases the risk of thrombus formation (B) which, if
dislodged, could be life- threatening. Superficial veins are often very easy (A) to
find in the feet and legs. Handling a leg or foot with an IV (C) is probably not any
more difficult than handling an arm or hand. Even if the nurse did believe moving
a cannulated leg was more difficult, this is not the most important reason for using
the upper extremities. Pain (D) is not a consideration.
Correct Answer: B
The nurse observes an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) taking a client's blood
pressure with a cuff that is too small, but the blood pressure reading obtained is

B. Reassess the client's blood pressure using a larger cuff.
C. Have the unit educator review this procedure with the UAPs.
D. Teach the UAP the correct technique for assessing blood pressure.
The most important action is to ensure that an accurate BP reading is obtained.
The nurse should reassess the BP with the correct size cuff (B). Reassessment
should not be postponed (A).
Though (C and D) are likely indicated, these actions do not have the priority of (B).
Correct Answer: B
Twenty minutes after beginning a heat application, the client states that the heating
pad no longer feels warm enough. What is the best response by the nurse?
A. "That means you have derived the maximum benefit, and the heat can be removed."
B. "Your blood vessels are becoming dilated and removing the heat from the site."
C. "We will increase the temperature 5 degrees when the pad no longer feels warm."
D. "The body's receptors adapt over time as they are exposed to heat."
(D) describes thermal adaptation, which occurs 20 to 30 minutes after heat
application. (A and B) provide false information. (C) is not based on a
knowledge of physiology and is an unsafe action that may harm the client.
Correct Answer: D
The nurse is instructing a client with high cholesterol about diet and life style
modification. What comment from the client indicates that the teaching has been
effective?
A. "If I exercise at least two times weekly for one hour, I will lower my cholesterol."
B. "I need to avoid eating proteins, including red meat."
C. "I will limit my intake of beef to 4 ounces per week."
D. "My blood level of low density lipoproteins needs to increase."
Limiting saturated fat from animal food sources to no more than 4 ounces per
week (C) is an important diet modification for lowering cholesterol. To be
effective in reducing cholesterol, the client should exercise 30 minutes per day, or
at least 4 to 6 times per week (A). Red meat and all proteins do not need to be
eliminated (B) to lower cholesterol, but should be restricted to lean cuts of red
meat and smaller portions (2-ounce servings). The low density lipoproteins (D)
need to decrease rather than increase.
