A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following a hip arthroplasty.
The client exhibiting hypotension, tachycardia, and tachypnea. The nurse should
recognize that these findings indicate which of the following complications? -
....ANSWER...Pulmonary embolism.
Rationale:
Manifestations of a pulmonary embolism include hypotension, tachycardia, and
tachypnea.
--------------------
Manifestations of a wound infection include fever, inflammation of the incision, and
foul-smelling drainage. Hypotension, tachycardia, and tachypnea do not indicate a
wound infection in a client who is 1 day postoperative.
Thrombophlebitis is the inflammation of a blood vessel, which can lead to a
thrombus formation. Hypotension, tachycardia, and tachypnea do not indicate
thrombophlebitis.
Paralytic ileus is the absence of bowel peristalsis, or movement. Hypotension,
tachycardia, and tachypnea do not indicate a paralytic ileus.
A nurse is caring for a client who has an area indicating potential breakdown over
the sacrum. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? -
....ANSWER...Minimize the time the head of the bed is elevated.
Rationale:
The nurse should minimize the time the head of the bed is elevated to reduce
pressure on the sacral area.
------------------
The nurse should collect further data before determining what type of dressing is
needed. For a stage 1 pressure injury, skin preparation can be applied to preserve
the integrity of the skin and prevent further direct injury. Alternatively, a dressing
such as a hydrocolloid or transparent dressing can be applied. However, gauze
dressings are not used in the treatment of a stage 1 pressure injury.
The nurse should not massage nor apply moisturizing lotion to an area indicating
potential breakdown because it can cause further skin injury.
The nurse should not place a donut-shaped cushion under the client's sacral area
because it can contribute to the development of a pressure injury.
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client regarding testicular selfexamination. Which of the following statements by the client demonstrates an
understanding of the teaching? - ....ANSWER..."I understand that testicular cancer is
typically painless."
Rationale:
Clients should report a lump that is not painful because testicular cancer is typically
painless.
----------------------
Clients should perform a testicular self-examination after a warm shower.
Clients should perform a testicular self-examination monthly.
Clients should report pea-sized lumps in the testes to a provider
