Pain in the calf upon exertion which is relieved by rest and elevating the extremity. Rationale Thrombophlebitis pain is relieved by rest and elevation of the extremity.

QUESTION In preparing to administer intravenous albumin to a client following surgery, what is the priority nursing intervention? (Select all that apply.) Select all that apply A. Set the infusion pump to infuse the albumin within four hours. B. Compare the client's blood type with the label on the albumin. C. Assign a UAP to monitor blood pressure q15 minutes. D. Administer through a large gauge catheter. E. Monitor hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. F. Assess for increased bleeding after administration. Answer: A, D, E and F Rationale Albumin should be infused within four hours because it does not contain any preservatives. Any fluid remaining after four hours should be discarded. Albumin administration does not require blood typing. Vital signs should be monitored periodically to asses s for fluid volume overload. A large gauge catheter allows for fast infusion rate, which may be necessary. Hemodilution may decrease hemoglobin (HgB) and hematocrit (HCT) levels, so the HgB and HCT levels should be monitored. While monitoring for bleeding because of the increased blood volume and blood pressure. QUESTION A male client receives a local anesthetic during surgery.

Evaluate his blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory status. C. Review the client's pre -operative history for alcohol abuse. D. Continue to monitor the client for reactivity to anesthesia. Answer: B. Evaluate his blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory status. Rationale Slurred speech in the post -operative client who received a local anesthetic is an atypical finding and may indicate neurological deficits that require further assessment, so obtaining the client's vital signs will provide information about possible cardiov ascular complications, such as stroke.

Headache, diaphoresis, and palpitations. C. Cyanosis, fever, and classic signs of shock. D. Nausea, vomiting, and muscular weakness. Answer: B. Headache, diaphoresis, and palpitations. Rationale Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine secreting non -cancerous tumor of the adrenal medulla, and a headache, profuse sweating and palpitations is the typical triad of symptoms depending upon the relative proportions of epinephrine and norepinephrine secretion . Surgical removal of the tumor is the only treatment. QUESTION A client with diabetes mellitus is experiencing polyphagia. Which outcome statement is the priority for this client? A. Fluid and electrolyte balance. B. Prevention of water toxicity. C. Reduced glucose in the urine. D. Adequate cellular nourishment. Answer: D. Adequate cellular nourishment. Rationale Diabetes mellitus Type 1 is characterized by hyperglycemia that precipitates glucosuria and polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (excessive thirst), and polyphagia (excessive hunger). Polyphagia is a consequence of cellular malnourishment when insulin deficiency prevents utilization of glucose into the cell for energy, so the outcome statement should include stabilization of adequate cellular nutrition which is done by providing the insulin supplement the client needs.

Vaginal mucous discharge is thick. C. Low basal temperature. D. First thing in the morning. Answer: A. Two weeks before menstruation. Rationale Ovulation typically occurs 14 days before menstruation begins during a typical 28 day cycle. Sexual intercourse should occur within 24 hours of ovulation for an increase chance of conception to occur. High estrogen levels occur during ovulation and increas e the vaginal mucous membrane characteristics to become more "slippery" and stretchy, along with a rise in basal temperature. The timing during the day is not as significant in determining conception as the day before and after ovulation.
