COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS
⩥ A block nurse is caring for an elderly couple in the neighborhood.
What kind of service does block nursing offer to the elderly clients?
Answer: Running Errands
Rationale: Block nursing involves the services of nurses living within a
neighborhood. The nurse generally provides services for older clients or
those who are unable to leave their homes. Therefore running errands is
one of the services offered by the block nurse. The primary health care
provider's offices provide primary health care, which includes
diagnostics and treatment. School health, occupational health, primary
health care provider's offices, and community health centers provide
health screening. Communicable disease control is offered by
occupational health services.
⩥ A nurse is caring for a client who is having diarrhea. To prevent an
adverse outcome, the nurse should most closely monitor what patient
data or assessment finding? Answer: Fluid and electrolyte balance
Rationale: Monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance is the most important
nursing intervention because excess loss of fluid through the multiple
, loose bowel movements associated with diarrhea lead to alteration in
fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Although skin may become excoriated
with diarrhea, this is not a life-threatening condition and therefore not
the nursing priority. Even though absorption of nutrients is decreased
with diarrhea malnutrition, it is not a life-threatening condition and
therefore not the priority nursing intervention. Fluid intake and output
provides information about fluid balance only, without taking into
consideration the loss of electrolytes that accompanies diarrhea and
therefore is not the best choice.
⩥ The nurse instructs a client that, in addition to building bones and
teeth, calcium is also important for what? Answer: Blood Clotting
Rationale:Calcium is important for blood coagulation. When tissue
damage occurs, serum calcium is necessary to promote coagulation by
activating certain clotting factors. Calcium acts as a catalyst in the
clotting process in both the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. Calcium is
responsible for a number of body functions, such as bone health, blood
clotting, and muscle contraction and nerve impulses; however, it is not
directly related to bile and blood production or digestion of fats.
⩥ A primary nurse receives prescriptions for a newly admitted client and
has difficulty reading the healthcare provider's writing. Who should the
nurse ask for clarification of this prescription? Answer: Healthcare
provider who wrote the prescription
