QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS LATEST UPDATE
The nurse in charge measures a patient's temperature at 101 degrees F.
What is the equivalent centigrade temperature?
A. 36.3 degrees C
B. 37.95 degrees C
C. 40.03 degrees C
D. 38.01 degrees C - ANS✔✔---B. 37.95
To convert °F to °C use this formula, ( °F - 32 ) (0.55). While when
converting °C to °F use this formula, ( °C x 1.8) + 32. Note that 0.55 is 5/9
and 1.8 is 9/5.
During a change-of-shift report, it would be important for the nurse
relinquishing responsibility for care of the patient to communicate. Which of
the following facts to the nurse assuming responsibility for care of the
patient?
A. That the patient verbalized, "My headache is gone."
Page 1 of 21
,B. That the patient's barium enema performed 3 days ago was
negative
C. Patient's NGT was removed 2 hours ago
D. Patient's family came for a visit this morning. - ANS✔✔---C.
Patient's NGT was removed 2 hours ago
The change-of-shift report should indicate significant recent changes in the
patient's condition that the nurse assuming responsibility for care of the
patient will need to monitor. The other options are not critical enough to
include in the report
A client is receiving 115 ml/hr of continuous IVF. The nurse notices that the
venipuncture site is red and swollen. Which of the following interventions
would the nurse perform first? A. Stop the infusion
B. Call the attending physician
C. Slow that infusion to 20 ml/hr
D. Place a cold towel on the site - ANS✔✔---A. Stop the infusion
The sign and symptoms indicate extravasation so the IVF should be
stopped immediately and put warm not cold towel on the affected site.
Which data would be of greatest concern to the nurse when completing the
nursing assessment of a 68-year-old woman hospitalized due to
Pneumonia?
A. Oriented to date, time and place
B. Clear breath sounds
C. Capillary refill greater than 3 seconds and buccal cyanosis
Page 2 of 21
, D. Hemoglobin of 13 g/dl - ANS✔✔---C. Capillary refill greater than 3
seconds and buccal cyanosis
Capillary refill greater than 3 seconds and buccal cyanosis indicate
decreased oxygen to the tissues which requires immediate
attention/intervention. Oriented to date, time and place, hemoglobin of 13
g/dl are normal data.
What is the order of the nursing process?
A. Assessing, diagnosing, implementing, evaluating, planning
B. Diagnosing, assessing, planning, implementing, evaluating
C. Assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, evaluating
D. Planning, evaluating, diagnosing, assessing, implementing - ANS✔✔-
--C. Assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, evaluating
The correct order of the nursing process is assessing, diagnosing,
planning, implementing, evaluating.
Which of the following is the most important purpose of planning care with
a patient?
A. Development of a standardized NCP.
B. Expansion of the current taxonomy of nursing diagnosis
C. Making of individualized patient care
D. Incorporation of both nursing and medical diagnoses in patient care -
ANS✔✔---C. Making of individualized patient care
To be effective, the nursing care plan developed in the planning phase of
the nursing process must reflect the individualized needs of the patient.
