Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client is diagnosed with glaucoma. The provider needs to determine if it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. What test does the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gonioscopy is the appropriate test to anticipate in this scenario. It is used to distinguish between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma by examining the angle where the iris meets the cornea. Choice A, ultrasonic imaging, is not typically used to differentiate between these types of glaucoma. Choice C, corneal staining, is used to detect corneal abrasions and defects, not to differentiate between types of glaucoma. Choice D, electroretinography, is a test that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina and is not specific to differentiating between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse Is teaching the client how to administer eye drops. Which of these actions indicates the need for further client education?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Touching the dropper to the eye contaminates it and can lead to infection.
Question 3 of 5
On inspection, which client does the nurse suspect of having a visual impairment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tilting the head may indicate a visual impairment as the client attempts to compensate for vision loss.
Question 4 of 5
What complication of fractures is caused by increased pressure which can result in decreased circulation to the area?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acute compartment syndrome is the correct answer. It involves increased pressure within muscles, leading to decreased blood flow and tissue damage. Venous thromboembolism (Choice A) is a condition where a blood clot forms in a vein, usually in the leg. Fat embolism syndrome (Choice C) occurs when fat globules enter the bloodstream and block blood vessels. Hemorrhage (Choice D) refers to bleeding, which can occur with fractures but does not specifically involve increased pressure leading to decreased circulation as in acute compartment syndrome.
Question 5 of 5
