KNOWLEDGE EXAM WITH CORRECT
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2025
1) The nurse would call the primary care provider immediately for which
laboratory result?
1. Hgb = 16 g/dL for a male client
2. Hct = 22% for a female client
3. WBC = 9 × 103/mL3
4. Platelets = 300 × 103/mL3 - CORRECT-ANSWERSAnswer: 2.
Rationale: Option 2 is very low and can lead to death. The client's
red blood cells participate in oxygenation. Options 1, 3, and 4 are
within normal range and should not be reported to the primary care
provider. Cognitive Level: Applying. Client Need: Physiological
Integrity. Nursing Process: Implementation. Learning Outcome: 34-
3.
2) A 78-year-old male client needs to complete a 24-hour urine specimen. In
planning his care, the nurse realizes that which measure is most important?
1. Instruct the client to empty his bladder and save this voiding to start the
collection.
2. Instruct the client to use sterile individual containers to collect the urine.
3. Post a sign stating "Save All Urine" in the bathroom.
,4. Keep the urine specimen in the refrigerator. - CORRECT-
ANSWERSAnswer: 3. Rationale: Option 3 is the most important
nursing measure. This will inform the staff that the client is on a 24-
hour urine collection. Option 1 is not appropriate since the first
voided specimen is to be discarded. Option 2 is not an appropriate
nursing measure since the specimen container is clean not sterile,
and one container is needed—not individual containers. Option 4 is
inappropriate because some 24-hour urine collections do not
require refrigeration. Cognitive Level: Understanding. Client Need:
Physiological Integrity.Nursing Process: Implementation. Learning
Outcome: 34-6.
3) The client has a urinary health problem. Which procedure is performed
using indirect visualization?
1. Intravenous pyelography (IVP)
2. Kidneys, ureter, bladder (KUB)
3. Retrograde pyelography
4. Cystoscopy - CORRECT-ANSWERSAnswer: 2. Rationale: A KUB is an
x-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. This does not require
direct visualization. Option 1 is an IVP, an intravenous pyelogram,
which requires the injection of a contrast media. Option 3 is a
retrograde pyelography, which requires the injection of a contrast
media. Option 4 is a cystoscopy, which uses a lighted instrument
(cystoscope) inserted through the urethra, resulting in direct
, visualization. Cognitive Level: Remembering. Client Need:
Physiological Integrity. Nursing Process: Assessment. Learning
Outcome: 34-8
4) Which noninvasive procedure provides information about the physiology
or function of an organ?
1. Angiography
2. Computerized tomography (CT)
3. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
4. Positron emission tomography (PET) - CORRECT-ANSWERSAnswer: 4.
Rationale: This type of nuclear scan demonstrates the ability of
tissues to absorb the chemical to indicate the physiology and
function of an organ. Option 1 is an invasive procedure that focuses
on blood flow through an organ. Options 2 and 3 provide
information about density of tissue to help distinguish between
normal and abnormal tissue of an organ. Cognitive Level:
Remembering. Client Need: Physiological Integrity. Nursing Process:
Assessment. Learning Outcome: 34-9
5) When assisting with a bone marrow biopsy, the nurse should take which
action?
1. Assist the client to a right side-lying position after the
procedure.
2. Observe for signs of dyspnea, pallor, and coughing.
