Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions

Question 1 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 2 of 5

The provider orders the client to be placed in a high-Fowler's position. At what angle will the nurse position the client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 90 degrees. In a high-Fowler's position, the client's head of the bed is raised to a 90-degree angle. This positioning helps improve breathing and facilitates eating and talking. Choice A, 15 degrees, is incorrect as it is not high enough to be considered a high-Fowler's position. Choice B, 0 degrees, is incorrect as it represents a flat or supine position. Choice D, 30 degrees, is also incorrect as it does not meet the criteria for a high-Fowler's position.

Question 3 of 5

Why is a client with osteoporosis prone to fractures?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Osteoporosis is characterized by porous, weak bones due to decreased bone density. This porous nature of bones in osteoporosis makes them more prone to fractures. Choice A is incorrect because bone spurs do not lead to fractures in osteoporosis; they are bony outgrowths unrelated to osteoporosis. Choice B is incorrect as osteoporosis is associated with decreased, not increased, bone density. Choice D is incorrect as individuals with osteoporosis are indeed prone to fractures due to weakened bones.

Question 4 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 5 of 5

The client moves both crutches forward, with weight on the unaffected leg, and then moves the unaffected leg forward, shifting weight onto it. Which of the following gaits is being utilized?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, Three-point gait. In a three-point gait, one leg is non-weight bearing, as described in the scenario where the client shifts weight onto the unaffected leg. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A two-point gait involves partial weight-bearing on both legs, a four-point gait involves weight-bearing on both legs, and 'Unaffected gait' is not a recognized term in gait patterns.
