MED SURGIC 324 EXAM 2023 - QUESTIONS WITH A ANSWERS GRADED 100%. A nurse is caring for a client who is NPO and has an NG tube to suction. When the client reports nausea, which of the following actions should the nurse take? ● Irrigate the tube with normal Saline solution ● provide oral hygiene ● clamp the tube for 30 minutes ● increase the amount of suction Rationale : When a client with an NG tube develops nausea, the nurse should first attempt to irrigate the tube to determine patency. If the tube is not patent, gastric pressure cannot decrease, and the steady or increasing pressure can cause nausea. 7.) A nurse is caring for a client who has manifestations of acute tubular necrosis (ATN) following a kidney transplantation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse anticipate for this client? (Select all that apply.) ● Hemodialysis ● biopsy ● immunosupression ● balloon angioplasty ● surgical repair Rationale: Clients who develop ATN after transplantation surgery might need dialysis until they have an adequate urine output and their BUN and creatinine levels stabilize. Because the development of ATN after transplantation surgery mimics the symptoms of rejection of the transplanted kidney, clients have to undergo a biopsy to determine the correct diagnosis. Immunosuppressive medication therapy is essential after kidney transplantation to protect the new kidney. 8.) A nurse is reviewing laboratory values for an adult client who has sickle cell anemia and a history of receiving blood transfusions. For which of the following complications should the nurse monitor? ● Hypokalemia ● lead poisoning ● hypercalcemia ● iron toxicity
