Rn VATI FUNDAMENTALS 2019 ASSESSMENT WITH QUESTIONS AND WELL VERIFIED ANSWERS [GRADED A+] ACTUAL 100% A nurse is preparing to mix short-acting and intermediate-acting insulin in one syringe to administer to a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Identify the sequence the nurse should follow. - ANS---1: Draw up the volume of insulin from the intermediate-acting insulin vial. 2: Inject the volume of air equal to the amount of insulin to withdraw from the intermediate-acting insulin vial. 3: Inject the volume of air equal to the insulin dose form the short-acting insulin vial 4: Withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin form the short-acting insulin vial. 5: Withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin form the intermediate-acting insulin vial. To mix insulin from two vials in the same syringe, the nurse should first draw up a volume of air equal to the volume of insulin from the intermediate-acting insulin vial. The nurse should then inject the volume of air equal to the amount of insulin to withdraw from the intermediate-acting insulin vial, making sure the needle does not touch the insulin. Next, the nurse should inject the volume of air equal to the insulin dose from the short-acting insulin vial. Then, the nurse should withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin from the short-acting insulin vial. Lastly, the nurse should withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin from the intermediate-acting insulin vial. The insulins are now mixed and ready to administer. A nurse is assessing a client who wears partial dentures and reports mouth pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? - ANS--- Advise the client to rinse their mouth and dentures after each meal.

A nurse is planning care for a client who has dysphagia and is at risk for aspiration. Which of the following referrals should the nurse make? - ANS---Speech-language pathologist The nurse should recommend a referral for a client who has dysphagia to a speech-language pathologist. Clients who have dysphagia have difficulty swallowing and are at risk for aspiration. The speech-language pathologist can perform a swallow study to determine the extent of the client's dysphagia and work with the client to develop new swallowing techniques. A nurse is planning teaching for a client who has a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following actions should the nurse take prior to performing the teaching? (select all that apply) - ANS---- Establish the client's learning needs - Determine the client's literacy level - Evaluate the client's readiness for learning - Identify the client's learning style Establish the client's learning needs is correct. Prior to planning any teaching session, the nurse should perform a comprehensive assessment of the client's learning needs. This assessment incorporates information from the client's history and physical assessment, current health problems, understanding of and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan, and support system. Determine the client's literacy level is correct. Knowing the client's literacy level is an important factor in communicating with the client and in delivering audiovisual presentations and written materials. If the client cannot understand the information the nurse presents, they will not learn. Evaluate the client's readiness for learning is correct. The nurse should determine the client's physical readiness (pain control), emotional readiness (acceptance of diagnosis), and cognitive readiness (appropriate level of consciousness). Identify the client's learning style is correct. The best way to learn varies from client to client. Some people learn best by watching a demonstration, while others thrive in a group setting, and others prefer to read information on their own. In a group setting, the nurse should use a variety of styles to accommodate most learners. A nurse is preparing to notify the provider about a change in a client's status. Which of the following information should the nurse plan to include in the "background" portion of the SBAR communication tool?
