Concept Based Nursing Practice Questions Questions

Question 1 of 5

A patient is scheduled for an electromyogram. What should the nurse instruct the patient to do in preparation for this diagnostic test? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: B. It is essential for the patient to avoid taking muscle relaxants before the electromyogram test because these medications can affect the results by altering muscle activity and electrical signals, which are critical for diagnosing muscle and nerve disorders.

Question 2 of 5

During a blood pressure screening, an older adult client tells the nurse about chest fluttering while doing yard work. The client reports no other symptoms and the frequency is intermittent. Which action is correct by the nurse?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct action for the nurse in this situation would be to ensure the client is evaluated by his/her medical provider. Chest fluttering, also known as palpitations, can sometimes be related to cardiac arrhythmias, which can be a concern in older adults. Even though the client reports no other symptoms and the frequency is intermittent, it is essential for the medical provider to assess and determine the cause of the fluttering to rule out any serious underlying cardiac issues. Taking appropriate action promptly can help prevent any potential complications and ensure the client's well-being.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is planning care for a client with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Which problem would be a priority for this client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In a client with deep venous thrombosis (DVT), the priority problem would be peripheral perfusion. DVT is a condition where a blood clot forms in a vein deep within the body, usually in the lower extremities. This clot can impede blood flow in the affected vein, leading to compromised circulation to the surrounding tissues. Poor peripheral perfusion can result in tissue ischemia and potential tissue necrosis. Monitoring and ensuring adequate peripheral perfusion is crucial to prevent tissue damage and further complications such as pulmonary embolism. Therefore, addressing and improving peripheral perfusion would be the priority in caring for a client with DVT.
