Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions

Question 1 of 5

A client who had an elective below-the-knee amputation reports pain in the foot that was amputated. What is the best response by the nurse?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct response is to assess the pain intensity by asking the client to rate their pain on a scale of 0-10. This helps the nurse to effectively manage the client's pain. Choice A is incorrect as it dismisses the client's pain without proper assessment. Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the pain is phantom limb pain without assessing the client's current condition. Choice C is incorrect as it invalidates the client's pain experience and does not address the issue at hand.

Question 2 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 3 of 5

What finding is often present in a client with osteoporosis?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Kyphosis is a common finding in osteoporosis due to vertebral compression fractures. Chronic pain (Choice A) can occur in osteoporosis but is not a specific finding. Dupuytren's contracture (Choice B) is a condition affecting hand fingers' connective tissue, not typically associated with osteoporosis. Inflammation (Choice C) is not a typical finding in osteoporosis but rather a characteristic of other conditions.

Question 4 of 5

A client has a new arm cast. What is incorrect teaching by the nurse?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Sudden increase in drainage is not expected and should be reported as it may indicate an infection or other complication.

Question 5 of 5

What are nonsurgical treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome? (Select all that apply)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'All of the above.' Non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome include using a splint, ultrasound therapy, corticosteroid injections, and NSAIDs. Choice A is correct as using a splint helps to keep the wrist in a neutral position, reducing pressure on the median nerve. Choice B is correct as ultrasound therapy can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Choice C, 'Endoscopic carpal tunnel release,' is incorrect as it is a surgical procedure, not a nonsurgical treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome.
