1. A client with gout experiences an acute attack. The client reports he has been trying to
lose weight. Which client information is most important for the nurse to obtain?
• Serum cholesterol level (not related to the acute attack gout)
• Capillary glucose level (not related to the acute attack gout)
• Daily caloric intake (Starvation diet can cause an acute attack of gout)
• Daily calcium intake (not related to the acute attack gout)
2. A male client with a C-6 spinal cord injury is in rehabilitation. In the middle of the night
he reports a severe, pounding headache, and has observable goose bumps. The nurse
should assess for which trigger?
• Loud hallway noise (Not manifestation of autonomic hyperreflexia)
• Fever (Not manifestation of autonomic hyperreflexia)
• Full bladder
• Frequent cough (Not manifestation of autonomic hyperreflexia)
* A pounding headache is a sign of autonomic hyperreflexia, an acute emergency that occurs
because of an exaggerated sympathetic response in a client with a high-level spinal cord injury.
Any stimulus below the level of injury can trigger autonomic hyperreflexia, but the most
common cause is an overly distended bladder.

4. A nurse working on an Endocrine Unit should see which client first?
• An Adolescent male with type 1 diabetes who is arguing about his insulin dose (dealt
with at a later time)
• A older client with Addison’s disease whose current blood sugar level is 62 mg/dl (blood
sugar level is low (normal 60 -110 mg/dl, but is not critical)
• An adult with a blood sugar of 384 mg/dl and a urine output of 350 ml in the last hour
(exhibiting sign of diabetes insipidus, which include hyperglycemia & urine output, but
this patient can be seen after corticosteroid pt)
• A client taking corticosteroids who has become disoriented in the last two hours (safety)
* Rationale: safety is a priority intervention. Mania & psychosis can occur during corticosteroid
therapy, which places the client at risk for injury, so this should be first seen.

• Determine if the sensation feels uncomfortable (Electronic stimulators, such as a
transelectrial nerve stimulator (TENS) unit, effective in reducing low back pain by
“closing the gate” to pain stimuli. A tingling sensation should be felt when the power is
turned on, and the nurse should assess whether the sensation is too strong, causing
discomfort or muscle twitching)
• Decrease the strength of the electrical signals (indicated if the sensation is too strong)
• Remove electrodes and observe for skin redness (not necessary because the tingling
sensation is expected)
• Check the amount of gel coating on the electrodes (not necessary because the tingling
sensation is expected)

muscle site in the arm should not be used in infants whose muscle mass is
underdeveloped)
• Divide the medication into two injections with volumes under 1 ml
• Use a quick dart-like motion to inject into the dorsogluteal site (dorsoglutel site is not
recommended due to the proximity to nerves and blood vessels)
* IM injection for children under 3 year of age should not exceed 1 ml, so the prescribed dose
should be divided into smaller volumes for injection in two different sites.
