Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 65-year-old client and notes a temperature of 101�F. How does the nurse interpret this finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A temperature of 101�F is indicative of hyperthermia, which is an elevated body temperature. Hyperthermia is commonly associated with fever or environmental factors such as excessive heat exposure. Choice B, 'A cold environment,' is incorrect as hyperthermia refers to elevated body temperature, not a cold environment. Choice C, 'Normal,' is incorrect as a temperature of 101�F is above the normal range for body temperature. Choice D, 'Hypothermia,' is incorrect as hypothermia refers to a low body temperature, not an elevated one.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with rheumatoid arthritis one day after shoulder surgery. What would prompt the nurse to call the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a client with rheumatoid arthritis one day after shoulder surgery, paresthesia in the fingers and intense increasing pain in the shoulder could indicate nerve compression or damage, which are serious post-operative complications. This situation requires immediate attention from the provider to prevent further complications and ensure appropriate management. The other options, such as refusing pain medication, reporting a minor headache, or experiencing minor abdominal discomfort, are important but not as urgent or indicative of potential serious complications as paresthesia in the fingers and intense increasing pain in the shoulder.
