Step 1: What is the topic of the question? Do not be fooled by extra details that have nothing to do with what the
question is asking.
Step 2: Are the answers assessment or implementation? Know whether or not you should assess. Did you get enough
information from the question? If not, you need to pick an assessment choice.
Step 3: Apply Maslow: Are the answers physical or psychosocial? It doesn’t matter what the person is feeling when
you need to prioritize the patient’s physiological needs first.
St ep 4: Are the answer choices related to ABCs? Airway is a priority!
Step 5: What is the outcome of each of the remaining answers? What do you think will happen if you choose this option?

The nurse should provide the child’s caregiver with adequate
information about the child’s medication and the way to properly store
the medication. The nurse should write down the instructions for
administering the drug and demonstrate the techniques of
administration. The nature and duration of any adverse responses
should be explained to the caregivers. It is unsafe for the nurse to teach
the child’s caregiving how to calculate dosage based on symptoms. The
caregiver is not educated on how to calculate dosage based on
symptoms and this poses a risk for toxicity to the child.
Question 0..14

83.3
To calculate take 1000 mL of solution divided by 12 hours. The correct
calculation is 83.3333 mL/hr which then rounds to 83.3 mL/hr.

Cleaning of the eyelids and eyelashes helps to prevent contamination of
the other eye and lacrimal duct. Application of gloves helps to prevent
direct contact of the nurse with the client’s body fluids. Applying
pressure to the nasolacrimal duct prevents the medication from running
out of the eye. The dropper should not touch the eyelids or eyelashes to
prevent contamination of the medication in the dropper. The medication
should not be instilled directly onto the cornea, because the cornea has
many pain fibers and is therefore very sensitive. The medication is to be
instilled into the lower conjunctival sac.
Question 4 0..14 pts
The nurse provides instructions about how to use a metered-dose inhaler
(MDI) to a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The nurse
concludes that additional teaching

Inhales rapidly with the lips sealed around the nebulizer opening.
Exhales slowly through the mouth with lips pursed slightly.
Holds the inspired breath for at least 3 seconds.
Places the tip of the inhaler just past the lips.
The client should inhale slowly rather than rapidly when using a
metered-dose inhaler (MDI) in order to optimize delivery of the nebulized
drug into the lungs. If the client has a dry powder inhaler (DPI), then
rapid inhaling would be an important action because the powder is not
nebulized. The MDI should be gently held in the mouth just past the lips
to deliver the medication into the airway. Holding the inspired breath for
at least 3 seconds promotes contact of the medication with the bronchial
mucosa. Exhaling slowly through the mouth with lips pursed slightly
prolongs and improves delivery of the medication to the respiratory
mucosa.
