A male client has a tentative diagnosis of urethritis. The nurse should assess the client
for which manifestation of the disorder?
Hematuria and pyuria
Hematuria and urgency
Dysuria and proteinuria
Dysuria and penile discharge - Correct answer 4, Urethritis in the male client often
results from chlamydial infection and is characterized by dysuria, which is
accompanied by a clear to mucopurulent discharge. Because this disorder often
coexists with gonorrhea, diagnostic tests are done for both and include culture and
rapid assays. Hematuria is not associated with urethritis. Proteinuria is associated
with kidney dysfunction.
,The nurse is caring for 4 pediatric clients. After receiving reports from the night shift,
which child should the nurse assess first? (Scroll for Answer)
A 6-year-old child being treated for bacterial meningitis and on the tenth day of
antibiotic treatment
A 6-week-old infant admitted to the hospital for decreased level of consciousness;
shaken baby syndrome is suspected
A 2-year-old child with cerebral palsy being admitted to the hospital for surgical
placement of a gastrostomy feeding tube the next day
A 16-year-old child with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt that was placed at birth for
hydrocephalus; possible shunt malfunction is suspected, and the child is scheduled
and ready for a computed tomography (CT) scan of the head - Correct answer 2, The
infant or child who is the most unstable should be assessed first. A 6-week-old infant
with an altered level of consciousness suspected to have resulted from shaken baby
syndrome is the most unstable client because the infant could be developing increased
intracranial pressure (ICP) and require interventions for the complications associated
,with increased ICP. The 6-year-old child on day 10 of antibiotics for bacterial meningitis
is a stable client. The 2-year-old child with cerebral palsy being admitted for surgical
placement of a gastrostomy tube will need an admission assessment, but this child is
stable. The 16-year-old with a possible shunt malfunction could become unstable, but
because this child is older and ready for the CT scan, he or she is stable at this time.
The nurse is reviewing the client's arterial blood gas (ABG) results and notes the
following values:
pH: 7.35; PaO2: 80 mm Hg; PaCO2: 55mmHg; HCO: 30mEq/L.
The nurse should recognize that this result is suggestive of which acid base
imbalance? (Scroll for Answer)
A.Compensated metabolic acidosis
B.Compensated respiratory acidosis
C.Compensated metabolic alkalosis
, D.Compensated metabolic alkalosis - Correct answer B - the pH is within normal
range while the carbon dioxide level is increased indicating compensated respiratory
acidosis

nurse considers the following...
It is contraindicated during pregnancy.
Its use is limited to children older than 6 years old.
It contains a live virus.
Its use is recommended for virtually all children age 6 months to 18 years old. -
