A 67-year-old woman who lives alone tripped on a rug in her home and
fractured her hip. Which predisposing factor probably led to the fracture
in the proximal end of her femur?
1. Failing eyesight resulting in an unsafe environment.
2. Renal osteodystrophy resulting from chronic renal failure.
3. Osteoporosis resulting from hormonal changes.
4 Cardiovascular changes resulting in small strokes which impair mental
acuity.
3. Osteoporosis resulting from hormonal changes.
Rationale: The most common cause of a fractured hip in elderly women is
osteoporosis, resulting from reduced calcium in the bones as a result of hormonal
changes in later life.
How should the nurse position the electrodes for modified chest lead one
(MCL I) telemetry monitoring?
1.) Positive polarity right shoulder, negative polarity left shoulder, ground
left chest nipple line.
2.) Positive polarity left shoulder, negative polarity right chest nipple line,
ground left chest nipple line.
3.) Positive polarity right chest nipple line, negative polarity left chest
nipple line, ground left shoulder.
4.) Negative polarity left shoulder, positive polarity right chest nipple line,
ground left chest nipple line.
4.) Negative polarity left shoulder, positive polarity right chest nipple line, ground
left chest nipple line.
Rationale: In MCL I monitoring, the positive electrode is placed on the client's mid-
chest to the right of the sternum, and the negative electrode is placed on the upper
left part of the chest. The ground may be placed anywhere, but is usually placed on
the lower left portion of the chest.
