A nurse is caring for a client who has HIV. Which of the following laboratory values is the nurse's priority? A. Positive Western blot test Rationale: The client is already identified as HIV positive. Therefore, another value is the priority. B. CD4-T-cell count 180 cells/mm3 Rationale: A CD4 -T-cell count of less than 180 cells/mm3 indicates that the client is severely immune -
compromised and is at high risk for infection. Therefore, this value is the priority for the nurse to report to the provider. C. Platel ets 150,000/mm3 Rationale: The client's platelet count is within the expected reference range. Therefore, another value is the priority. D. WBC 5,000/mm3 Rationale: The client's WBC count is within the expected reference range. Therefore, another value is the priority. 2. A nurse is assessing a client who is admitted for elective surgery and has a history of Addison's disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? A. Hyperpigmentation Rationale: Addison's disease is an endocrine disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol, and in some cases, the hormone aldosterone. The disease is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and hyperpigmentation (darkening) of the sk in in both exposed and non -exposed parts of the body. B. Intention tremors Rationale: Intention tremors may be seen in multiple sclerosis, a neuromuscular disorder that primarily affects the central nervous system. C. Hirsutism Rationale: Addison's disease resul ts in loss of body hair, called vitiligo. D. Purple striations Rationale: Purple striations on the skin of the abdomen, thighs, and breasts are a common manifestation in Cushing's syndrome. Hyperpigmentation can be seen as well. 3. A nurse is caring for a cli ent who is 1 day postoperative following a subtotal thyroidectomy. The client reports a tingling sensation in the hands, the soles of the feet, and around the lips. For which of the following findings should the nurse assess the client? Created on:02/03/2023 Page 2 A. Chvostek's sign Rationale: The nurse should suspect that the client has hypocalcemia, a possible complication following subtotal thyroidectomy. Manifestations of hypocalcemia include numbness and tingling in the hands, the soles of the feet, and around the lips, typicall y appearing between 24 and 48 hr after surgery. To elicit Chvostek's sign, the nurse should tap the client's face at a point just below and in front of the ear. A positive response would be twitching of the ipsilateral (same side only) facial muscles, sugg esting neuromuscular excitability due to hypocalcemia. B. Babinski's sign Rationale: Babinski's sign is a diagnostic test for brain damage or upper motor neuron damage. It is positive if the toes flare up when the nurse strokes the plantar aspect of the foot. C. Brudzinski's sign Rationale: Brudzinski's sign is an indication of meningeal irritation, such as in clients who have meningitis. With the client supine, the nurse should place one hand behind his head and places her other hand on his chest. The nurse then raises the client's head with her hand behind his head, while the hand on his chest restrains him and prevents him from rising. Flexion of the client's lower extremities constitutes a positive sign. D. Kernig's sign Rationale: Kernig's sign is an indication of meningeal irritation, such as in clients who have meningitis. The nurse performs the maneuver with the client supine with his hips and knees in flexion. The inability to extend the client's knees fully without causing pain constitutes a positive test. 4. A nurse is reviewing laboratory values for a client who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which of the following values should give the nurse the best indication of the client's renal function? A. Serum creatinine Rationale: A renal function disorder reduces the excretion of creatinine, resulting in increased levels of blood creatinine. Creatinine is a specific and sensitive indicator of renal function. B. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) Rationale: The BUN is used as a gross index of glomerular function and th e production and excretion of urea. High -protein diets, rapid -protein catabolism, and dehydration are conditions that will cause an elevation in the BUN. This is not the best indication of the client's renal function. C. Serum sodium Rationale: Serum sodium is affected by urinary output but may also be falsely affected by hemodilution and hemoconcentration. This is not the best indication of the client's renal function. D. Urine -specific gravity Rationale: Due to the body's compensatory mechanisms and ability to maintain glomerular filtration rate (GFR) until 75% of renal function is lost, this is not the best indication of the client's renal function. Created on:02/03/2023 Page 3 5. A nurse is assessing a client who has a long history of smoking and is suspected of having laryngeal cance r. The nurse should anticipate that the client will report that her earliest manifestation was A. dysphagia. Rationale: Dysphagia, difficulty swallowing, is a later manifestation of cancer of the larynx. It occurs as the tumor grows in size and impedes the es ophagus. B. hoarseness. Rationale: Laryngeal cancer, a malignant tumor of the larynx, is most often caused by long exposure to tobacco and alcohol. Hoarseness that does not resolve for several weeks is the earliest manifestation of cancer of the larynx becau se the tumor impedes the action of the vocal cords during speech. The voice may sound harsh and lower in pitch than normal. C. dyspnea. Rationale: Dyspnea, shortness of breath, is a later manifestation of laryngeal cancer. It occurs as the tumor grows in size and impedes the airway opening. D. weight loss. Rationale: Weight loss is a later manifestation of laryngeal cancer, usually indicative of metastasis. 6. A nurse in a clinic is assessing a client who has AIDS and a significantly decreased CD4 -T-cell count. T he nurse should recognize that the client is at risk for developing which of the following infectious oral conditions? A. Halitosis Rationale: Halitosis (foul-smelling breath) is not an infectious oral condition and is frequently the result of poor dental hea lth, poor oral hygiene, or gastrointestinal problems. B. Gingivitis Rationale: Gingivitis is inflammation of the gum or gingiva and is typically caused by irritation from dental plaque and poor oral hygiene. C. Xerostomia Rationale: Xerostomia (dry mouth) is typ ically an adverse effect of medications that have anticholinergic properties. It is not an infectious oral condition. D. Candidiasis Rationale: Although oral candidiasis can affect anyone, it occurs most often in infants, toddlers, older adults, and clients whose immune systems have been compromised by illness, such as AIDS, or medications. 7.

Which of the following findings should the nu rse report to the provider? A. WBC 2300/mm3 Rationale: This WBC finding is below the expected reference range.

Rationale: The nurse may need to notify the provider if unable to induce fluid flow from the catheter, or if the output is bright rad and thick; however, the nurse should attempt a different intervention first. B. Check the tubing for kinks. Rationale: When providing client care, the nurse should first use the least restrictive intervention; therefore, the nurse should check the catheter tubing for kinks. The nurse must ensure constant flow of the bladder irr igant into the catheter and outward drainage from the catheter to prevent clotting, which could occlude the catheter lumen. C. Adjust the rate of the bladder irrigant. Rationale: The nurse may need to increase the rate of bladder irrigant to stimulate removal of urine and clots; however, the nurse should use a less restrictive intervention first. D. Irrigate the catheter. Rationale: The nurse may need to irrigate the catheter to check for an internal obstruction; however, the nurse should use a less restrictive i ntervention first. 9.
