1.Which information is most concerning to the nurse when caring for an older client with bilateral cataracts?
A.States having difficulty with color perception
B.Presents with opacity of the lens upon assessment
C.Complains of seeing a cobweb-type structure in the visual field
D.Reports the need to use a magnifying glass to see small print
Rationale:
Visualization of a cobweb- or hairnet-type structure is a sign of a retinal detachment, which constitutes a medical emergency. Clients with cataracts are at increased risk for retinal detachment. Distorted color perception, opacity of the lens, and gradual vision loss are expected signs and symptom of cataracts but do not need immediate attention.
2.When caring for a client hospitalized with Guillain-Barré syndrome, which information is most important for the nurse to report to the primary health care provider?
A.Ascending numbness from the feet to the knees
B.Decrease in cognitive status of the client
C.Blurred vision and sensation changes
D.Persistent unilateral headache
Rationale:
A decline in cognitive status in a client is indicative of symptoms of hypoxia and a possible need to assist the client with mechanical ventilation. A primary health care provider will need to be contacted immediately. Options A, C, and D are findings associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome that should also be reported but are not as critical as the client's hypoxic status.

Knoowy is een goede website. Het heeft veel aanbod en het werkt fijn.
Werkt prima, gelijk downloaden en geen ingewikkelde procedures. Heel fijn!
Handige bron om samenvattingen te vinden, vorige beoordelingen helpen hier zeker bij!
Knoowy neemt toch wel wat stress voor de examenperiode weg. De samenvattingen geven een goede houvast bij het studeren waardoor je zekerder wordt van jezelf bij het studeren. Ideaal voor wie in tijdsnood zit of gewoon een extra overzicht wil hebben van het vak.
Jullie website is top! Het heeft me al veel geholpen. Zeker omdat ik thuis studeer!
Ik verkoop samenvattingen om andere studenten te helpen en tegelijk wat bij te verdienen.
