⩥A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a group of client's about transient
ischemic attacks (TIAs). Which of the following information should the
nurse include in the teaching?
A. A TIA can cause irreversible hemiparesis.
B. A TIA can be the result of cerebral bleeding.
C. A TIA can cause cerebral edema.
D. A TIA can precede an ischemic stroke. Answer: D. A TIA can precede
an ischemic stroke.
Rationale: TIAs are considered a manifestation of advanced
atherosclerotic disease and often precede an ischemic stroke.
Manifestations of a TIA include loss of vision in one eye, inability to
speak, transient hemiparesis, vertigo, diplopia, numbness, and weakness.
TIAs do not produce edema of the cerebrum. Cerebral edema can be the
result of a stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke can be the result of cerebral
bleeding. TIAs are caused by a temporary reduction of oxygen supply to
,the brain, such as from a thromboembolism or cerebral vasospasm. TIAs
are brief episodes of a neurologic deficit that last less than 24 hr after
onset without any permanent disabilities.
⩥A nurse is collecting data from a client following a recent head injury.
Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as a
manifestation of increased intracranial pressure?
A. Widened pulse pressure
B. Tachycardia
C. Periorbital edema
D. Decrease in urine output Answer: A. Widened pulse pressure
Rationale: A widening of the pulse pressure, the difference between the
systolic and diastolic pressure, is a manifestation of increased
intracranial pressure. Other manifestations include pupil changes,
change in the level of consciousness, and nausea and vomiting.
Tachycardia can be a manifestation of hypovolemia; however,
bradycardia is a manifestation of increased intracranial pressure.
Periorbital edema can occur following eye trauma or a craniotomy;
however, it is not a manifestation of increased intracranial pressure. A
decrease in urine output can be a manifestation of hypovolemia;
however, it is not a manifestation of increased intracranial pressure.
⩥A nurse is reviewing the medical history of a client who is scheduled
for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the cervical
, vertebra. The nurse should alert the provider to which of the following
information in the client's history is a contraindication to the procedure?
A. The client has a new tattoo.
B. The client is unable to sit upright.
C. The client has a history of peripheral vascular disease.
D. The client has a pacemaker. Answer: D. The client has a pacemaker.
Rationale: An MRI uses strong magnets and radio waves that are
evaluated using computer technology to view three-dimensional images
of the body. Since an MRI is magnetically generated, it is not indicated
for use in the presence of certain medical implants. Clients who have
cerebral aneurysm clips, cardiac pacemakers, or internal defibrillators
cannot undergo an MRI because the strong magnetic force can interfere
with these devices and obscure surrounding anatomical structures. An
MRI uses strong magnets and radio waves that are evaluated using
computer technology to view three-dimensional images of the body.
Peripheral vascular disease is not a contraindication for an MRI. The
client who is unable to sit upright is able to obtain an MRI because the
client does not need to be in an upright position during the MRI. An
MRI uses magnetic fields to view three-dimensional images of the body.
An old tattoo can contain lead and be a contraindication to an MRI;
however, a new tattoo is not a contraindication to an MRI.
⩥A nurse in a acute care facility is preparing to admit a client who has
myasthenia gravis. Which of the following supplies should the nurse
place on the client's bedside?
