A 4-year-old child is admitted with burns on his legs and lower abdomen. When
assessing the child’s hydration status, which of the following indicates a less than
adequate fluid replacement? Increased hematocrit and decrease in the urine
volume.
Very aggressive fluid replacement is indicated in children who have been burned,
because hypovolemia may quickly lead to shock. A rising hematocrit indicates a
decrease in total blood volume, which is a finding consistent with dehydration.
Because there is a fluid volume deficit, the kidneys will conserve water and urine
output will decrease. The nurse should expect an increase in white blood cells due
to tissue damage. With dehydration, both heart and respiratory rates will
increase. BUN will increase due to both dehydration and the burns.
A client has an order for an antibiotic therapy after hospital treatment of staph
infection. Which of the following should the nurse emphasize? Complete the full
course of medications
In order for antibiotic therapy to be effective in eradicating an infection, the
client must compete the entire course of prescribed therapy. If the client were
to stop taking the medication when the findings subside, it could lead to a
recurrence of the infection and/or drug resistance to any subsequent antibiotic
therapy.
A client has been receiving dexamethasone (Decadron) for control of cerebral
edema. Which of the following assessments would indicate that treatment is
effective? Increased response to motor stimuli
Decadron is a corticosteroid that acts on the cell membrane to decrease
inflammatory responses as well as stabilize the blood-brain barrier.
Once Decadron reaches a therapeutic level, there should be a decrease in
symptomology with improvement in motor skills.

bradycardia. Digitalis inhibits the sodium potassium ATPase, which makes more
calcium available for contractile proteins, resulting in increased cardiac output.
A client is receiving erythromycin 500mg IV every 6 hours to treat a pneumonia.
Which of these findings is the most common side effect of the medication?
Nausea and vomiting
Erythromycin is a macrolide anti-infective. Nausea is a common side effect of

other options listed are not "common" side effects of most medications.
An arterial blood gases test (ABG) is ordered for a confused client. The
respiratory therapist draws the blood and then asks the nurse to apply pressure
to the area so the therapist can take the specimen to the lab. How long should
the nurse apply pressure to the area? 5 minutes
It is necessary to apply pressure to the area for 5 minutes to prevent bleeding and
the formation of hematomas.
The nurse discusses nutrition with a pregnant woman who is iron deficient and
follows a vegetarian diet. The selection of which foods indicates the woman has
learned sources of iron? Cereal and dried fruits
Both of these foods would be a good source of iron.
The nurse enters the room of a client diagnosed with COPD. The client’s skin is
pink, and respirations are 8 per minute. The client’s oxygen is running at 6 liters
per minute. What should be the nurse’s first action? Lower the oxygen rate
In client’s diagnosed with COPD, the drive to breathe is hypoxia. If oxygen is
delivered at too high of a concentration, this drive will be eliminated and the
client’s depth and rate of respirations will decrease. Therefore, the first action
should be to lower the oxygen rate.

which cause pain along the vein wall, with or without inflammation.
The nurse is administering diltiazem (Cardizem) to a client. Prior to
administration, it is important for the nurse to assess which parameter? Blood
pressure
Diltiazem (Cardizem) is a calcium channel blocker that causes systemic
vasodilation resulting in decreased blood pressure.
The nurse is applying silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) to a child with severe burns
to arms and legs. Which side effect should the nurse be monitoring for? Urine
sulfa crystals
Silver sulfadiazine is a broad spectrum anti-microbial, especially effective against
