| 1. | A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing nausea and vomiting. Which of the following nursing interventions should the nurse implement to modify the client’s environment to relieve nausea and vomiting? | |
| A) | Avoid strong odors in the client’s room. | |
| B) | Have the air-conditioning on in the client’s room. | |
| C) | Provide a clean and comfortable bed. | |
| D) | Provide the client with a mask. | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should avoid any strong odors in the client’s room to help relieve nausea and vomiting. Rooms that are poorly ventilated tend to smell badly. Removing soiled articles, emptying bedpans and urinals, and opening privacy curtains and room doors help to reduce odors. Air-conditioning the client’s room provides a comfortable temperature but does not relieve nausea and vomiting. A mask will not relieve nausea. | ||
| 2. | A client who has impaired thermoregulation reports to the nurse that he is feeling uncomfortable due to excessive sweating. Which of the following activities would help the nurse maintain the humidity of the environment? | |
| A) | Using electrical fans | |
| B) | Using a dehumidifier | |
| C) | Air-conditioning the room | |
| D) | Keeping the window open | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should have air-conditioning on in the room to maintain the environmental humidity and make it more comfortable for the client. Electric fans and dehumidifiers are not always an adequate substitute, but they may be used if air conditioners are not available. Keeping the windows open is not an appropriate method and is often not possible. | ||
| 3. | A nurse is caring for a client who has started phototherapy for seasonal affective disorder. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client to prevent the recurrence of symptoms? | |
| A) | Take phototherapy for 2 to 6 hours. | |
| B) | Try to relax during the therapy. | |
| C) | Maintain good fluid intake during therapy. | |
| D) | Avoid abrupt discontinuation of the therapy. | |
| Ans: | D | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should instruct the client to avoid abruptly discontinuing the therapy because doing so may lead to the recurrence of symptoms. Instructing the client to take phototherapy for 2 to 6 hours is for effectiveness of the therapy and is not related to the recurrence of symptoms. Relaxing during the therapy and maintaining fluid intake are not related to the recurrence of symptoms. | ||
| 4. | A nurse is making a bed for a client confined to bed. Which of the following positions should the nurse place the client in to facilitate bedmaking? | |
| A) | Lateral position | |
| B) | Supine position | |
| C) | Prone position | |
| D) | Fowler’s position | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The nurse should place the client in a lateral position when making an occupied bed. This facilitates bedmaking from side to side. Placing the client in the supine, the prone, or Fowler’s position may not be comfortable for the client and would not be convenient for the nurse to make the bed. | ||
