Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who had a cast placed 4 hours ago. What assessment finding is cause for concern?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Inability to insert a finger between the cast and skin indicates the cast is too tight, risking circulation problems.
Question 2 of 5
What may be a cause of conductive hearing loss?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Otitis media can cause conductive hearing loss by affecting the middle ear.
Question 3 of 5
What statement by the client with plantar fasciitis indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Using warm packs can exacerbate inflammation in plantar fasciitis. Choices B, C, and D are all appropriate interventions for managing plantar fasciitis. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce pain and inflammation. Resting and stretching the feet can promote healing and reduce symptoms. Wearing supportive shoes can provide stability and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Therefore, the client's statement about using warm packs indicates a need for further teaching as it can worsen the condition.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following clients are at an increased risk for deep vein thrombosis following a reduction and internal fixation of the hip? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: a
Rationale: Clients on birth control pills, immobile, and smokers are at increased risk of DVT after hip surgery.
Question 5 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.
