is receiving tube feedings via a gastrostomy tube. The nurse
knows that the best position for this client during
administration of the feedings is
A. prone.
B. Fowler's.
C. Sims'.
D. supine. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The client should be
positioned in a semi-sitting or Fowler's (B) position during
feeding, in order to decrease the chance of aspiration. A
gastrostomy tube, often referred to as a PEG tube, is inserted
directly into the stomach through an incision in the abdomen
and is used when long-term tube feedings are needed. In (A
and/or C) positions, the client would be lying on his abdomen
and on the tubing. In (D), the client would be lying flat on his
back which would increase the chance of aspiration.
Correct Answer: B

C. Ask another nurse to interview the mother now.
D. Tell the mother politely to look at you when answering. -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Eye contact is a culturally-
influenced form of non-verbal communication. In some non-
Western cultures, such as the Vietnamese culture, a client or
family member may avoid eye contact as a form of respect, so
the nurse should continue to ask the mother questions about
the child (B). (A, C, and D) are not indicated.
Correct Answer: B
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. -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > 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. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
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
