Nursing Process Practice Questions Quizlet

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (50% to 55% carbohydrate, 35% fat, and 10% to 15% protein) for managing diabetes. Carbohydrates impact blood sugar levels the most, so a moderate intake is crucial. The fat percentage is lower to reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues, common in diabetics. Protein intake is moderate for muscle maintenance. Choice A has higher fat and lower carbohydrate, not ideal for diabetes. Choice B has too high carbohydrate, which can spike blood sugar. Choice D has the highest carbohydrate percentage, which is not recommended for diabetes management.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Aseptic technique prevents infection at IV site. 2. TPN is a high-risk solution, requiring strict aseptic administration. 3. Contaminated site can lead to sepsis or other serious complications. 4. Choice B increases risk of contamination. 5. Choice C increases risk of bacterial growth. 6. Choice D may introduce air or contamination. Summary: Choice A is correct as it emphasizes infection prevention. Choices B, C, and D pose risks of contamination, bacterial growth, or air introduction.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Heimlich maneuver is performed to clear the airway if a client is choking and cannot speak or breathe after swallowing food. Step 1: Assess the situation and confirm airway obstruction. Step 2: Stand behind the client, wrap your arms around their waist, and deliver upward abdominal thrusts. Step 3: Repeat thrusts until the object is dislodged. Other choices are incorrect as they do not address airway obstruction. A: Increasing medication absorption is not a purpose of the Heimlich maneuver. C: Preventing falls and D: Maintaining extremities in proper position are not related to choking emergencies.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Upon arrival, checking the lungs for equal breath sounds bilaterally is the first action. This is crucial to assess airway patency and breathing effectiveness in a patient with a history of diving accident and intubation. Ensuring proper oxygenation takes precedence over other actions. Taking vital signs, inserting an IV line, and performing a neurologic check can wait until airway and breathing are adequately assessed.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Polymyositis can affect muscles involved in swallowing, leading to aspiration risk. Therefore, it's crucial for the client to exhibit no signs or symptoms of aspiration. Choice A is unrelated to polymyositis. Choice C involves issues with muscle weakness rather than aspiration risk. Choice D relates to cognitive function, not a common issue with polymyositis.
