TESTBANK AND A STUDY GUIDE WITH QUESTIONS
(COMPLETE COURSE) 300+ QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSS




The nurse is completing an admission interview for a client with Parkinson disease. Which question will
provide additional information about manifestations that the client is likely to experience?
A. "Have you ever experienced any paralysis of your arms or legs?"
B. "Do you have frequent blackout spells?"
C. "Have you ever been frozen in one spot, unable to move?"
D. "Do you have headaches, especially ones with throbbing pain?" * ANS*C. Have you ever been
frozen in one spot, unable to move?"
Rationale:
Clients with Parkinson disease frequently experience difficulty in initiating, maintaining, and performing
motor activities. They may even experience being rooted to the spot and unable to move. Parkinson
disease does not typically cause option A, B, or D.


The nurse notes that the client's drainage has decreased from 50 to 5 mL/hr 12 hours after chest tube
insertion for hemothorax. What is the best initial action for the nurse to take?
A. Document this expected decrease in drainage.
B. Clamp the chest tube while assessing for air leaks. C. Milk the tube to remove any excessive blood clot
buildup.
D. Assess for kinks or dependent loops in the tubing. * ANS*D.Assess for kinks or dependent loops in the
tubing.
1

,Rationale:
The least invasive nursing action should be performed first to determine why the drainage has
diminished. Option A is completed after assessing for any problems causing the decrease in drainage.
Option B is no longer considered standard protocol because the increase in pressure may be harmful to
the client. Option C is an appropriate nursing action after the tube has been assessed for kinks or
dependent loops.


A 77*year*old female client is admitted to the hospital with confusion and anorexia of several days'
duration. She has symptoms of nausea and vomiting and is currently complaining of a headache. The
client's pulse rate is 43 beats/min. The nurse is most concerned about the client's history related to
which medication?




2

, A. Warfarin (Coumadin)
B. Ibuprofen (Motrin)
C. Nitroglycerin (Nitrostat)
D. Digoxin (Lanoxin) * ANS*D. Digoxin

Rationale:
Older persons are particularly susceptible to the buildup of cardiac glycosides, such as digoxin or
digitoxin (medications derived from digitalis), to a toxic level in their systems. Toxicity can cause
anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and fatigue. Options A, B, and C are unlikely to result in
the symptoms described.


The nurse is observing an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) performing morning care for a bedridden
client with Huntington disease. Which care measure is most important for the nurse to supervise?
A. Oral care
B.Bathing
C. Foot care
D. Catheter care * ANS*A. Oral care

Rationale:
The client with Huntington disease experiences problems with motor skills such as swallowing and is at
high risk for aspiration, so the highest priority for the nurse to observe is the UAP's ability to perform
oral care safely. Options B, C, and D do not necessarily require registered nurse (RN) supervision
because they do not ordinarily pose life*threatening consequences.


A client who is receiving an angiotensin*converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor for hypertension calls the
clinic and reports the recent onset of a cough to the nurse. Which action should the nurse implement?
A. Advise the client to come to the clinic immediately for further assessment.
B. Instruct the client to discontinue use of the drug and to make an appointment at the clinic.
C. Suggest that the client learn to accept the cough as a side effect to a necessary prescription.
