Client was prescribed morphine IV 0.05mg/kg/dose now and every 2 hours as needed for
moderate to severe pain. Morphine is available in parenteral dose of 2mg/mL. How much
medication should the nurse draw up for administration? - CORRECT ANSWERS-1.6
Before giving the initial dose of pain medication or antibiotic, which action should the nurse
take first? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Ask the client if he is aware of any allergies to medications.
This action should be taken first since this is the initial dose of a new medication. It is important
to verify any allergies. Clients sometimes recall additional allergies after the initial admission
history has been taken.
When the client's foot pain is controlled, which nursing diagnosis should take priority ? -
CORRECT ANSWERS-Impaired physical mobility.
The client's limited activities support this nursing diagnosis. Improving mobility is a nursing
priority to prevent the many potential complications of immobility.
Which goal is correct for the client's diagnosis of impaired physical mobility? - CORRECT
ANSWERS-The client will sit in the chair for each meal beginning on the day of admission.
This is a correctly stated goal. The client is always the subject of the goal, and the action is
always measurable. This goal includes what the client is to achieve and sets a realistic deadline.
Which instructions should the nurse convey to help prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in
the client's legs? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Teach the client to dorsal flex and plantar flex his feet
while in the bed and chair.
, This action stimulates circulation by contracting calf muscles, which increases the venous return
of blood to the heart. This decreases pooling of blood in the legs, which helps VTE in the legs.
Instruct the client to wear sequential compression stockings.
Sequential compression devices (SCD) promote venous blood flow, preventing VTE.
Explain that enoxaparin injections will be administered routinely.
